Two times the Sacred Number

 That´s twelve you know. With the completion of these three new mutants I have now two full six mutant strong mutant band. They form the absolutely lowest caste of the genestealer cult and are ruthlessly exploited by it´s leaders. The mutants are so badly deformed that they have no other option than to stay with the cult as they have no chance blending in to normal population.

The newest ones

From another angle

Complete 2nd mutant band

And finally both bands together

50% of 2nd Mutant band

 Slowly digging myself out of the not-getting-anything-painted hole I dug myself during february and march. I put some new mutants together weeks ago and finally found motivation to splash paint on them. And I really mean splash - it´s mostly contrasts and in very quick manner. These will eventually form the second mutant band for my Genestealer Cult Army. Need to finish the other three muties. By the way - here is the first band.

Big head, Leggy and Mantis

Big head comes with over grown head and a tentacle. Leggy has head

swap with something alien and an extra leg. Mantis has an insect had and

strange skin color. All armed with hand weapons of different types.

Trying to activate myself

 It´s been too long since myh last posting. I have had very little interest in painting as of lately but now I´m doing my best to get back into action. Basically the only thing I´ve completed since february is this single beastman. And it too ages and is not a good paint job even on my humble standards.

The six mutants I built earlier are now on my painting table and I strongly intent to get them completed during april. So very limited goal but hey - you have to restart somewhere.

Community to the rescue

 I haven´t gotten any models painted in a few weeks now. Got carried away by some other activities and now I´m having hard time getting my painting motivation back. What helped me to write this short update is that I got lucky and won the lottery draw for last years Oldhammer Forum legacy project.

For year 2020 the theme was genestealer cult and spot color was green. As mentioned the ´winner´ is chosen on random and the luck chap gets all the models for himself. The only thing I´ve done with these is basing. Othervise they are as they arrived.

Mutated purestrains with wings, a couple of hybribds, an ork hybrid, beastman,

squat hybrid and a brood brother.

Now I need to create a scenario where they can be used.

Check out this year´s project and join in on the Oldhammer Forum.

New mutants

 I hate to show unpainted models but I´m making an excepting here. Mainly due to the fact that I´ve been buried in work and haven´t had time and energy to paint pretty much anything. What I´ve managed is to build six new mutant models for Slaanesh alligned Genestealer Cult.

The older mutants are here.

All six together.

Over grown arm, claw, tentacle and limb transference head --> shoulder

Three legs, insectoid head

Over grown head and tentacle

Over grown arm, claw, headless

Insectoid head, lizard arm

Crest, insect limbs, extra limb

IG trooper plastic bodies and CP models conversion parts.

Plus some skink and Necromunda Goliath bits there too.

Half way through with the Thug horses

Completed the third Chaos Thug horse model this morning. This means that I am half way through with the unit of six models now. Hobby year 2021 has started quite slowly for me but I´m hoping to catch up speed in a next few weeks.

Keeping both the thugs and their horses just slightly touched by Slaanesh.

These are individuals in the beginning of their journey to corruption.

Horses look mean but not altered. Thugs have colored hair and not much else.

The musician on the left is the most choas affected of the three

with his left arm replaced with a tentacle.

Hobby year 2020 in pics

 If I´d have to describe my 2020 paitning year with one word that would have to be Xenos. 2020 started with some space elfs and vent on with building a genestealer cult army. That is still not complete. But hey! When is an old school army complete :D

With that I´ll just dump a whole lot of pics of what got painted last year here. I hope you´ll enjoy them.
