After what seems like an eternity, I've finally gotten a model of the painting desk. This unfortunate fellow has been lounging about half finished for weeks. My stumbling block, apart from a general lack of painting mojo, was what kind of right arm to give him. I must have tried five or six different options. In the end though, I went back to the gun arm. I guess he must have a hand attachment for when he's not hosing unbelievers with high velocity rounds.
He joins the hybrid squad, leaving me with another six hybrids to assemble and paint. Next up will be a larger 2nd generation toting a meltagun. Before that though, the fimir are about to get a pool to paddle in.
I have so many unfinished projects, but I have yet to embark on an unfinished Genestealer Cult project. Each time you issue a new post on topic, it becomes harder to resist the siren call of the cult!!!

You know you want to. ;P
Great conversion and paintjob, Mr. Saturday.
We're always looking for fresh, juicy recruits.
DeleteExcellent recruit ! There's everything needed for your concept and it ties well with the rest of the crew from what we know of it.
ReplyDeleteKeep the likes of him coming !
Cheers JB. More on the way!
DeleteI'd echo what others have said. Your growing cult looks amazing and makes me want to join in the excitement. Too many projects alas. Sharp looking paint job.
ReplyDeleteThanks Daveb. I know how you feel, too many ideas, not enough hands/time.
DeleteThe homely fellow looks good and reins in the concept a bit, bringing the earlier models a little more into context.
ReplyDeleteLike the first moments of a second generation hybrid, the birth of this genestealer cult appears stressful and fraught with peril and ideological struggle. It must happen however. Hold tough.
Speaking of which, a second gen... WITH A MELTA GUN???!!!11!!!? The Oldhammer pedants wont like that one bit, no sir ;)
Thanks Paul. I started out with a couple of the more mental individuals, so this is really the first appearance of the more common form of hybrid. Even though there are at least three more monstrous hybrids in the unit to come, the rest should be more along the lines of this fellow. The skitarii/brood brothers will be very much like this guy, without the genestealer bits.
DeleteAs far as a 2nd gen with a melta gun, I think my approach to such things follows generally with Barbossa's attitude the pirates code. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GMkuPiIZ2k
