Genestealer Hybrid Family The Next Generation

This is something that I have had in the works for a long, long time. Inspired by Kaled's suggestion, and by his 'Herbert' model, I put together this little family group. Hopefully this completes my Genestealer cult (the rest of which can be seen here, here, here, here, and here) as I am sick of painting purple skin.

Anyway, on to the pictures.


I hope you like them.

Oh wonderful... So creepy, makes me think of the odd bits in Inquisition War about how the Genestealer is the corruption of the family personified.

They look absolutely superb!

What's the base for mum?

Soo beautiful, where are the faces from, did you sculpt them?

They are so expressive, I am speechless

This actually disturbs me quite a bit, many congratulations. I particularly like the shading on the red rag type thing around the mothers neck.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Time to die.

Thanks guys.

The mum is La Meridiana's Sacajawea model (available from El Greco Miniatures.) I just cut and filed the hair off, carved a dent in the forehead, and added some plastic Genestealer arms and an Ork holster.

The child's face is from one of these ancient plastic Genestealer hybrids. I glued it on to the familiar's head after sawing its face off just in front of the ears. I then built up the back of the head with green stuff, and sculpted the dent and crest in the middle of the forehead.

The kid looks evil. The mother looks like she is hopelessly pleading with a hooded, black-robed Inquisitor.

I love it  ;D

With it, my world

Nice work, they do indeed look creepy. Not sure I like the blue on the arms tho. Also, after all these years reading Conclave forums I just got the reference in your name (if it is a reference - could be a common name I guess).

Kaled

That is excellent - they really capture the terrifying nature of a genestealer cult and are by far my favourite members of your cult.
I like to remember things my own way... Not necessarily the way they happened.

What a lot of \'stealers you\'ve got! I really like this pair. Utterly frightening. I too thought of the Inquisition War when I saw them. Great work sculpting the kid\'s head. It\'s seamless. Any chance of a full cult picture?

The mother's a little starey, that's the expression I'd expect to see on a Brood Kin, rather than a hybrid.

Other than that, really nice work. Interesting to see them with grey skin, and it does bring along the feel of family (which has always been integral to the genestealer cult process).

It's all fun and games until someone shoots their own guy with a Graviton gun instead of the MASSIVE SPIDER.

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm glad that you like them, and that you find them creepy and horrible!

Good. That was precisely the feeling I was trying to capture.

Charax - the skin is purple. Maybe the photo washes it out a bit, but it is based around the Hormagaunt purple foundation paint.

Edit - Group Shot now included.


Hadriel Caine

Ask and you shall receive. Thanks mate. They look cracking together :)

Now you can paint some regular humans to include in the cult as Brood Kin!
