Riding the Genestealer Cult wave: past and future limos for the cult

[Vanvlak]

I'm aafraid I'm succumbing to the Cult frenzy - GW seem to have got this one right.
I already have some old models, including the running patriarch, as well as some Rhinos for the cult. But the Limo has eluded me.
I considered some historical armoured cars, but they never seem to have the right look.
I bought one of the Batman part works with Batmobiles, then couldn't convert it as it was too pretty (slightly small for a hybrid to squeeze in too, let alone a patriarch).

I'd really like to see some models people have used for this - and models which have potential. These chaps seem to be hitching a ride on the cult popularity, selling not one but a set of 5.

I only need one, and alhough details from each could work, no one whole car fits the bill for me, although they seem to be nice models.

Ooh; the top left one would be perfect!! 

But at those prices, I will probably just scour the Action and Lidl toy sections and convert a suitable candidate from there...

Those are nice but somewhat small.

I'm probably going to get this for my Cult:


Dreamforge Keilerkopf APC

That Dreamforge vehicle does look impressively large - and armoured - whilst still hinting a limo.
Nice choice, I think.

Your right, that does have more of a limo feel then your average APC by far. Interesting.

Here's mine:

Why not a Marx Future Car? The one looks like a good limo possibility.
Someone was using said as a base and did some modding. I can't find the pic now.

you could always pimp out a stretch limo - Amazon UK link  

It's 1:38, which is a scale I haven't seen before, so could be a bit large, but I'm sure I've seen others at a more appropriate scale.

Those imperial limos look amazing if a tad small. I've gotta love the stealers riding in a Hackney though!

I'm getting sorely tempted to jump on this bandwagon. The figures look great but it would be the making of the limo that would do it for me 

cheers

Go on Mr  Bibbly, you know you want to 
And we'd wait with bated breath too.
And thanks for all the suggestions guys.
The Hackney: whio ever knew that GS cults fit well into pulp-ish themes too?!

TBH that's why I started this topic. Even if it's established fluff, a limo didn't seem quite right to me. Even an armoured one would be something you drive out of a battle, not into one. So I googled 'armoured car' and the MC-36 hit me between the eyes.
I have to admit the Dreamforge APC doesn't look too shabby for the job, either. It also has that Aliens vibe which isn't entirely inappropriate, either.

I was thinking the same thing, but also considering making some hybrid-types out of GS too.....

Stopping now, though, as it is about to be done to death (like SW )......

I own the MC-36: it's a beautiful model, quite large, and just about the right size. I had visions of GS limo when I bought it, but then thought it was too nice to modify, and adopted it for Pulp, retro supers and the like.
