Hobby Update 22/10/18- Genestealer Cult Neophyte Hybrids

Today, I have another Warhammer 40k hobby update, this time featuring some more Neophyte Hybrids for my Genestealer Cult army. 

I decided to add a squad armed with Shotguns to give me some close range shooting punch. This could be a useful unit to ambush and get close to the enemy army to get the increased strength shots at close range. 




















With the unit complete, there are not too many models left to finish for my Genestealer Cults army.

    They look great, are the Shotguns on the sprues?(I haven't looked), they look mean. Nice squad, the Shotguns make them more 'believable' as a mining force taken-up-arms vibe. (far left in first pic has some overspill on boot leather to trousers ;) quick clean up)

      Cheers WestRider! Yes, the Neophytes come with shotguns on the spures. Not sure if it is a whole squad's worth, but I had enough spares anyway.
      I can always count on you to find the little errors in the photos!

      Um, dude? That was Siph. I hadn't even seen this post then ;)

      They do look great, tho, and yes, there are enough on the sprue for the whole Unit. I'm planning a similar Unit, but I think I'm going to add in a Flamer, since they're going to be getting up close anyhow.

      Oops! I can always count on one of the two of you to comment first, just got the wrong one!

      I think adding a couple of Flamers is a good shout, I think they can take two special weapons in the squad.

      That's what I thought too ;)

    There's something visceral and mean about shotguns. I hope they perform as well as they look! That's a great looking squad.

      Thanks Joe! I've got a few more Neophytes to add to the force (want some Mortars or a Lascannon), but it should be done after that. Well, at least until the codex comes out.....

      Cheers Siph (Got it right this time!). I've got a ton of spare heavy weapons from my Guard army to make them up. The only issue I had was tracking down the bases, they have been out of stock on GW's page for ages.

      What size? The entire Round selection is in stock today? Web store only, but it lets me put in cart...
