Looking for ideas, or what?  I'll have to find that crate - I only have a few painted left.  A gentleman out here was so avid to get them I sold him most of my unpainted hybrids.

I have a handful of figures from back in the day - enough for skirmish games etc.

Not so happy with the purestrain, so i have set them aside for a while. One day i plan to do the big fat patriarch in throne riding on a sort of flying saucer thing.

I only ever painted up one of mine and a car to go with him. The car isn't even complete. The rest I have been procrastinating about. That's about 20 hybrids and 30 stealers plus a couple of patriarchs.

I've got the Goodwin magi, hybrids, purestrains and familiars, the Olley sitting patriarch, the minarions resin armoured limo, a bunch of these 1950's plastic cars above, and some fitting toy cars.

I still have to decide the colours, decide wgat to use for cultists and broodbrothers. I'm undecided on either old imperial army, Copplestone future wars or plastic chaos cultists. Abetter patriarch would be great too. Probably one of the purestrains. Or a modern broodlord.

I've almost all the OOP miniatures (just miss the magus with staff 1, magus with scanner, two magus familiars, hybrid genestealer 2, all the mounted hybrids and hybrid with pole arm), however I just painted a magus 14+ years ago and done a conversion of a prince demon with inquisitor genestealer head and arms and a conversion of a magus with power armor and familiar:

I promise I will paint something after I've finished to paint my realm of chaos warbands ;)

Scorpion green? (The colour that's so bad it's good.)

Coincidentally I just finished some of my Cult figures. I painted them a couple years ago and finally got them based after switching the tunic color.

I wrote some notes about the cars and figures on my blog: Dr. Mathias's Cult (http://miniatureextravaganza.blogspot.com/2015/02/genestealer-cult.html)
I have a bunch of hybrids, magus, and some more hybrid/brood brothers waiting in the endless queue...

Wow! Really beautiful cultists.  You've worked magic on the blue and purple paints scheme.  BTW, what is the source of that sisters of battle shrine in the background?

does anyone know of any useful proxies for hybrids, or anywhere selling heads that can be used as hybrid heads for conversions?

Bloody lovely those.

Great stuff there Dr Mathias.

I would show my genestealer cult but it's just a bunch of bare metal.  :(  I don't have a vast amount of models so probably a dozen various hybrids, 17 all metal 'stealers (pretty chuffed to have those) and the running and seated patriarch models. I started to add a few cultists and stuck with the Olley theme so went with a few of his Imperial Guard sculpts and his 3 psykers.

Thanks for the comments all, appreciated!

BTW, what is the source of that sisters of battle shrine in the background?

The 2nd edition Sisters of Battle codex had some illustrations of statues of Ecclesiastical saints that I liked. Several years ago I sculpted them all in low relief, made a mold and cast them up. They're very flat, and so far I've only painted up the one. The rest is Hirst blocks, with a couple custom pieces. I have plans to make a ruined cathedral but it seems to take a couple years before I get anything done  :-[

Where did you get the cars? They are awesome.

They're modified superhero 'pull back' cars from the 'Dollar Tree'. I bought a bunch about four or five years ago, I haven't seen them there since then. They do pop up on eBay though, at about a 900% increase in price.

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zOnML0bhpeI/VOCvoXeeDaI/AAAAAAAAAOM/8QhRPuoHjkI/s1600/pullcar.JPG)

does anyone know of any useful proxies for hybrids, or anywhere selling heads that can be used as hybrid heads for conversions?

Maxmini has some alien heads that aren't bad:

(http://www.thewarstore.com/media/MXM/MXMCB071.jpg)

I don't see them on the webstore right now though.

Bob Olley's normal human heads are pretty brutal looking and hybrid like, if he were to put out just a simple head sprue I think he'd sell loads of them.

Great stuff there Dr Mathias.

Thanks, I hope to see yours someday. Knowing what you can do with a normal Imperial Army figure I'm sure your force would be the Sistine Chapel of Genestealer Cults  :)

Mine are only half built, mainly based around Perry Minatures Sudanese Mahdists. You get infantry in robes, plenty of heads lacking hair and lots of bare arm that can be easily replaced with genestealer arms, also added in arms and bodies from the fantasy ghouls. I build some as normal humans, some with three arms and some with four, kitted out with pistols, rifles and close combat weapons.
