Genestealer Cult

[Mr Saturday]

Thanks for the feedback everyone, cheers!

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

I looked at an obscene amount of miniature sites while looking for components. I did consider them, and they may yet appear among the Contagii. (Who knew there was already a term for genestealer infected adeptus mechanicus?)

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

Hard to compete with Jes Goodwin! I do like the way the converted hybrids are going though. They should mix reasonably well with the old Goodwin and Olley sculpts.

The first magos is finished. He was a very satisfying miniature to rescue from the brink of destruction and return to the cabinet converted up and with a shiny new paint job. He takes to the part of magos very well I think, especially with the addition of some cables and his floating pal. He really needs a couple of servitors though, I am thinking.

Here's the cult so far. Small, but growing...

Good choice, lovely conversion and some nice paintwork.
Love that vibrant red.
 

[Diakon]

Wow. Nice project. Nice mix of old and new. Also that Chaos Champ Magos conversion is inspired.  

[Argonor]

I remember that mini. I may even have it, somewhere... 

Big fan of your use of vibrant colours on those minis. This cult is going to stand out like a bleeding wound when 'coming out' in the middle of an urban environment! 'Here we are, watch and despair!'

[Mr Saturday]

Thanks folks.

I am digging on the red right now. The scheme is starting to come together I think. Three models is about the minimum to start to see if it's working over a group. So far so good.

After a bit of a hobby break, the next hybrid is done. With more mechanical alterations than the others, he's going to have issues with shoelaces.

I'd be more concerned about reloading that autocannon if I was him

Or wiping his bum.

Guess that's why he looks so angry (great painting by the way). Guess he needs a loader/assistant now.

It's not all sunshine and roses in the army of the allfather. A life without hands would make anyone cranky.

[Modhail]

Heh, he's lucky. Try shopping for a nice shirt when you've got three arms! 

You're doing a terrible thing, you know? I'm getting close to wiping my noble space hulk cleansing astartes off my painting table to make room for some evil alien hybrid monstrosities...
You nasty man, inspiring me like that! 
(Lovely conversion and paintjob, by the way!)

[Mr Saturday]

Excellent. More recruits for the cause.

I'm doing more aberrant hybrids next. I'm guessing not all human/stealer mixes work out, and these wretches are put to whatever uses suit. Hence this unfortunate. He needs a lot of work, pipes, cybernetic do-das and such, but he'll come out much like this.

Nice. The KOW Troll body suits really well. Can't wait to see this one with paint on.
