Genestealer Cult
« on: June 18, 2014, 12:42:59 PM »
In my first foray back into 40k for some time, I've decided to go for a long planned project, a genestealer cult. This particular cult has corrupted a Forge Temple, so lots of bio-mechanical goodness. Think Giger and you're there.

I'm trying to combine visual traits from the mechanicus with obvious cues from genestealer infestation. Here's my initial sketch for a brood brother/skitarii.



My first unit is a squad of hybrids led by a neophyte. The test model is a 2nd generation ymgarl hybrid. Here he is before priming:



And finished. The basing is ruined urban, pretty neutral so as not to clash with the colour scheme.

Yup, just what every cult needs; a flash motor to get around in.  ;)

Lovely work and an interesting take on the theme.  :D

Thanks all. I'm building the next four hybrids now, including the first of the larger hybrids. I'm using these as special and heavy weapon carriers as they'll stand out some. After that another 5 hybrids and then the first Magos.

They could make a great start to a necramunda or some other such skirmish game.

Well if this is the standard (and based on your other work I know it is), then we're in for a great ride.

Great use of bitz! You will have a very unique and characterful army if the rest looks this good.
