Back to genestealers

 So it´s another paused project restarted. It was back in november 2020 when I last painted something for my slaanesh aligned genestealer cult. Having finished just a single purestrain genestealer so far I have been wanting to add a few more for some time. Finally I had both the models and motivation to paint them. BTW I working on a cult limo too. Hoping to get it ready in the near future.

Being plastics from Space Hulk and painted mostly with contrasts

these will most certainly not win me any prises. But they fit in quite well

with the rest of the cult.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Leader for Cult Beastmen

 The Genestealer Cult Army beastmen don´t actually have a squad or platoon leader. They just come in bands whose size depend on the chaos power they are alligned with. As I intend to use my beastmen in WFB too I wanted to have a model that can be clearly distinquished as a unit leader. This Champion of Slaanesh model by Jes Goodwin is perfect for my purposes. A lovely sculpt he´s quite large and very fit to lead the beastmen.

Funny little detail: a daemonette face groin armor.

Genestealer Patriarch

 It´s been a while since I posted anything GS related. My Cult army has been without a leader but just the other day I found time to finish this Bob Olley patriach. There are only two oldhammer patriarch models that I know of. This and the one that sits on a throne. The running one suits gaming purposes better in my opinion. And is less expensive. Check this posting for his Cult Coven.

Painted mostly with contrast. Some regular paints for metals and higlights.

With those long arms it´s pretty hard to get a really good picture of him.

Back shot showing the purple body under that black carapace. And his tail.

Stat line and special rules for gaming.

Now I need to get him a limousine. And a few more purestrains as there´s only one now.
