40k Genestealer Cult – Pressing onwards!

Snuck in a little painting time over the weekend and got a little more work done on the cult - I'm finding that the models have a TON of detail compared to the waves of power armor I've been dealing with in the Heresy, which is a lot of fun but certainly means the batch painting starts to get challenging.


Got the metals in place, basic boltgun metallics on the weapons and gold on various bits of bling. To give the models a third spot color to complete the triad the various power cables got a yellow/green which sets off nicely against the purple and orange. Certainly a vibrant palette and a pleasant change from the more muted stuff I've been working on recently!


Couple close-up shots - still more work to do on all of them for sure, and I find taking some pics helps me spot all the things I still have to finish. For example, it appears I have yet to do the eyeballs on quite a few models. Doh!


Quite like the 1st and 2nd generation hybrids, just beautiful sculpts and there are definite nods to the older metal models (the less said about the old plastic Space Hulk hybrids, the better)!


I really dug that they included a pair of familars, a blast from the past for sure! Liking the mining lasers and sneaky claws on the 3rd generation hybrids as well - these models have a ton of personality!


The 4th generation hybrids are the most human-like, but still have a slight alien cast to their faces, arguably my favorite models of the set. More eyes to do and minor details here and there across the force, then it's just basing and they'll be good to go!


A couple people have asked for a pic of the cult alongside the combat cars I'd picked up a while back  - Not as big and imposing as I would hope for use as cult limousines, but not completely out of line either.

Really been enjoying working on these models, we're in the home stretch now!
