The Genstealer Cult Army is finished, packed up and ready to be shipped to the other side of the world.
The vehicle options are pretty extensive: 2 walkers, 13 tracked vehicles and 3 aircraft.
The latest additions to the tracked vehicles:

Hydra Flak Tanks.
As you can probably tell, these are anti-aircraft tanks. Now that 40k has lots of flyers, people need something to shoot them down with. The Hydra is a forgeworld upgrade kit. I had a terrible time with it.
They were very badly curved when I got them. Forgeworld does some beautiful sculpting, but their quality control isn't always the best. Still..better than Finecast <<quickly ducks the Finecast rage>>
The weapon deck is not glued in place, so it and the AAguns can swivel around.
Lots of infestation. The colors of the army are very dark, so it was nice to have the infesting alien growth to break it up, without having to create an illogical excuse to bring in a bright color.
Manticore Missile Batteries
What a nice kit from GW. The missile platform is not glued in place, so it can be raised and lowered.
I saw a bunch of the real-world version of these vehicles in Minsk during the end of WWII celebration parade (the anniversary of the end of WWII, not the actual end of WWII, I'm not that old ;)
Pretty formidable looking vehicles. Seeing a thick twelve foot long missile really makes you glad they aren't being launched!
Command Psyker Chimeras
These are the transport vehicles for the Psyker command infantry. They've got more gadgets than the other chimeras: search lights, comm array and an upgraded front sensor panel. I also gave them more tentacles.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to take a big single army picture before I had to pack it for shipping.
It wouldn't have worked too well anyway, since the flyers won't have their bases assembled- the client can glue them together himself, to reduce risk of breaking in transit.
There's no limo. I know that will disappoint a lot of the Rogue Trader to 2nd edition fans. But I think a limo might be better suited to skirmish level games anyway. All these purple and red vehicles reminded me of one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid...
I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Dastardly & Muttley were Pro-Genestealer Cult!
More to come: the flyers!
Enjoy!
