Space Hulk and the Genestealer Cult
« on: April 29, 2013, 03:32:17 PM »
Space Hulk was one of the first Games Workshop games I ever came in contact with and I loved it right away. I was not very old but somehow I managed to save up enough money to buy myself a copy. It is one of those games which again and again gets taken out from the shelves and dusted off.

A couple of years ago I decided to try and lure my wife to play some missions with me and she agreed. But only if I painted the miniatures first. This sounded reasonable I thought and since I was collecting both a Blood Angels army and a Genestealer Cult I could find use for the miniatures in 40K gaming too.

It did not take me long to paint up the first Genestealer Brood (12 miniatures) and one squad of Blood Angel Terminators and then we could play the first couple of missions...







But then the Space Hulk project kind of stagnated and I was probably caught up in all sorts of other miniatures buisness... I never completely forgot about the Genestealers and Genestealer Cult project and some how, no matter what else we game, we always end back in the 40K universe...

So now I finally finished the painting of 12 more genestealers and somewhere along the way I also painted up a Genestealer Patriarch...





I have Genestealer Cult Brood Brothers on my painting table and one more Terminator squad, so hopefully I will have a 40K Genestealer Cult at some point and painted Terminator models enough for further Space Hulk gaming.

I thought so :) But I would actually like to do weapon badges at some point.

And thanks  :)

Lovely group of Genestealers dude. I love that Patriarch. Must try and acquire one somehow. Terminators looking very good too. Good job.  :D

While I'm done giving GW money there are quite a few good MDF/resin sets out there now which is always tempting me to do a Space Hulk inspired game.

I am also not giving GW any of my money, but that does not mean I don't keep my old stuff or buy second hand  ;)

I can't wait to see the cult either. I must get some newer terminators as my old space hulk ones aren't looking the best.

Nice! I always loved the old Space Hulk too. Is that the old metal termies your using? I remember the plastic ones being guff!!

BTW have you tried the new version? As much as I'm probably in the same boat as everyone else(not buyin GW), sometimes Games Workshop can still surprise and do something right!!!! Stunning models!! Some of the best ever in my opinion!
