Genestealer Cult

[Ajsalium]

In other words, this:



Hey, genestealers may be disgusting alien bugs, but they've got good taste in music!
(And don't forget to add three texan scrunts to the cult)

[Mr Saturday]

I've seen the Minarions' Spanish Civil War armoured truck before, and noted it as a definite possibility.

In the limo version I'd keep the wheels and add a 6mm scale genestealer as a bonnet ornament

Genius.

[Commander Vyper]

That does look just the ticket.
I would be tempted to lose the turret, but otherwise looks just like an armoured Limo.
 

pulp genestealer mobile! Awesome! !

[Mr Saturday]

Another hybrid finished. This time we're going old school. This is one of my favourite models from the Rogue Trader era. I didn't get this guy in a fortuitous ebay bid, no. He's been in my possession since he was first released. He's had to wait some decades, but here he is at last. Quite a fiddly model to paint, with a lot of recesses and awkward little details, but for all that a real joy to have finished.

I did agonise over what colour to paint his armour. Black, purple, red, all were considered. In the end, with the scheme I chose, a simple metallic seemed to work best. It also has the advantage of highlighting all the wonderful detail in the armour ribbing and various joints. I did paint the little backpack/powerpack on his back green, which I'm using on guns, satchels and so on as well.

Here he is with his new school brother. Now to give them someone to boss them around.

Nice work, mate.

Very nice!

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

WELL done 
I've many vintage genestealer cult miniatures too, one day I should decide to finally paint them.

[warburton]

Fantastic work.

[cheetor]

Lovely. An iconic classic. It's nice to see that model in an original colour scheme too.

[Argonor]

Splendour all over!

Have you considered using some of (or parts of) the Iron Brotherhood from Micro Arts?

This is very good.
And definately has my attention.

I have this for my Genestealer Cult (2 of them in fact).  I too tossed the turret and will plan on building up crenelations around the top with a hatch and heavy lascannon with cultist gunner sticking out the hatch.  The other will be buttoned up and more of a "limo" for the patriarch/magi.

It is just a tad smaller than I wanted, but will work on the tabletop.

Just won the magus for the seated patriarch on ebay. I've had the patriarch for a few years but never had the magus. Now I have the whole thing, woohoo. You're really getting me wanting to start painting my set too. Loving what you have done.

[Col. Aubrey Bagshot]

I love the fact hat the  paint job seems to be retro AND modern at the same time, and as everybody else has already said, it helps if you have one of THE classic GW sculpts...

The new scratch build is nice, and again, painted superbly, but when put next to the original there is no contest for me!
