Hobby Update 08/05/19- Genestealer Cult Reinforcements

Today, I have a few models that needed finishing off, namely some Neophyte Hybrids, Acolyte Hybrids and Familiars. 

I had painted up the Neophyte and Acolyte Hybrids a while back, getting up to the first highlight stage with the models before stopping. While painting up the new characters, it was a perfect time to finish off these models. 

The Neophytes are just armed with Autoguns and can be used to expand my squads I already have. 



The Acolytes are armed with Rock Drills and Rock Cutters. This gives my Acolyte units more combat punch and should help them to take on tough targets. 



I also have a few Familiars ready to accompany my Patriarch and Magus into battle. Annoyingly, I have three of the same model. There is another version of the Familiar, but I managed to lose the head for it. I'll need to see if I can find a decent replacement in my bits box to give me a bit of variety.

  1. Is it wrong to think Familiars are cute? They just look so impish and full of malicious glee. I wish I had three. What about some sort of ghoul or dark elf head for the missing one? No, wait! What about a spore mine as a head?! Or two of those Genestealer testicles glued together as a sort of snake head?

    1. Sometimes I really do worry about you Monkeychuka! However, I then see the beautiful work that comes out of your disturbed mind and I let it go.

    2. They are pretty adorable. I just kind of wish that there were more poses for them.

    3. There is another version, but as I said, he is a bit incomplete. I'll just need to make do with these guys. They do die easily though, so won't be on the table too long.

    Great work Mike.

    1. Yeah, I was in the zone this last weekend and got a bunch of units painted up. Annoyingly, I ran out of one of my paints, so the Jackals got a bit of a delay until I could go and pick up some more.
