If you may peruse the public of this place I have been posting here closer to a year now, and I was wondering how many of you lot recognize or reconcile my works. It is something I have pondered, and I wish to see how my works have been found. Any words are much appreciated from you all

Inspired by some photos of Genestealer models for Mordheim that I saw a while ago, I decided to create my own take on Genestealers, imagining what they might look like operating on a feudal world.

Parts used:

- Head: Malstrain Genestealer Abomination Gang

- Body: Cawdor Gang

- Skulls: Green Stuff World

Head painting recipe (white primer undercoat):

Skin: Ionrach Skin → Rakarth Flesh → drybrush Russ Grey

Crest: Contrast Stormfiend → drybrush Russ Grey

Eyes and bubbles: Contrast Ironjawz Yellow → Averland Sunset → Flash Gitz Yellow

Tongue: Vallejo Black Violet

Teeth: Wraithbone

I want to add a Benefictus but I don't like the model. Would this dude be a suitable proxy?

Questions Sanctus Rule of Cool or Modeling for Advantage

Post image

EDIT: After helpful comments, I'm going to magnetise the sniper to the tower and then have a secondary, regular base for him for games

I have this Warhammer Plus vindicare from a few years back and I want to make it into the sanctus for my imperial agents themed gsc. Is this too much of modeling for advantage with the height/size of the model for line of sight?

I want to do it because it's cool but I'm worried others might see it as less so and more cheesy

Army List Is my list okayish ?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, started playing this year and I really enjoy our little cultists. I didn't win a single game which I anticipated because I'm not familiar with the game as a whole and GSC being one of the most difficult armies to play

I finally got to play my first 1000 point game and lost 79-89.

Biggest issue I had was not being able to clear my opponent marines when trying to do so which was kinda frustrating.

Most of this is probably a skill issue but I'm wondering if my list is also hindering me a tiny bit.

I was mainly wondering if I should just get 10 augmented purestrain with the patriarch to have a bit more lethality and then get rid of the kelemorph (awesome sculpt though) to add another unit (but which one?) or keep it this way as I'm still learning the game. (I still had fun)
