It's pretty big for a servo skull so it makes sense that it'd be the remains of a revered if unlucky purestrain. I initially just pinned it to the base with steel rod, but it looked a little lacklustre. I bent some more rod into shape and wound pewter cabling around it and pinned it all to a piece of sprue. I added the connector cable to the back to add a little motion.
I've got the cult love now, so I have a big old aberrant on the painting table. After that I might tackle an acolyte. He's a selection of the crew thus far.

This is sweet and it reminds me I should paint mine, oh and wait... GW3 has profils for servo skulls, if taht's not starts aligning I don't know what is (apart from actual stars aligning).
ReplyDeleteThanks Assless! That's very convenient. I haven't picked up GW3 yet. Can you customize the skulls?
DeleteThe new servo skull/familiar is lush. I really do prefer it when the support for a flying / floating model is cunningly concealed. The cable additions are perfect. More of this sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteCheers Axiom. Yeah, I do prefer that myself most of the time. Cables are an easy get out of jail card with skulls.
DeleteThe whole gang looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve! I have so many that need paint it's almost criminal.
DeleteT'is the curse of our kind...
DeleteA burden I bear happily, in truth.
DeleteWhat's better then a floating skull? A floating skull with gunz! Awesome job man. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Grove, it's a classic combo for sure!
DeleteThis is tremendously cool! I'm myself working on servoskulls for my Cult too, so I cannot tell you how inspiring and encouraging this is!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber, most kind! There are hybrid skulls in the GW skulls box in case you're after some.
DeleteSumptuous. Love the contrast on the shading and lights. Perfect colours quality basing, what more can you ask really, paint more of them quicker I suppose ;).
ReplyDeleteThanks Otto. Speed would be my first wish to the genie.
Delete"I want to paint faster."
"But master, you can wish for anything, I can bring them to li-"
" I SAID. Paint. faster."
Wooow! Great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteWhat a great Genestealer gang. I've been struggling to get mine into shape. Freaky assortment of figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sean. I like my Gcult heavy on the freaky.
DeleteThese guys are looking amazing!! Loving the skull
ReplyDeleteThanks Legio. I have so many more I want to add, as is the way with pet projects.
DeleteWonderful work! As was mentioned above, GW3 has servo skullz- targeting, health, and gun varieties.
ReplyDeleteCheers Barks! That's great, this guy will be a gun servitor then. Means I'll need to paint an actual familiar!
