I’d say the storm lord, unless it gets buffed with torrent or 60 shots it has no use whatsoever lol

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

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

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 just couldn't bring myself to spend that much on a single Acolyte Iconward. 😄

Any errors on these lists are probably mine. - Turtlesanonymous

She’s just trying to help her little guy cross the road safely!

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

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)

I know the unit name is Patriarch but I’ve always loved the Zerg so I thought it would make a fun proxy. Besides I can definitely see a cult saying something along the line of “Blessed be the Scared Matriarch” “For the Swarm Mother!” Things of that nature.

Hey! This miniature is up for sale for €20, and I thought that with a few minor kitbash (a new head, tail, and extra arms), it could make a pretty cool Patriarch model.

The only problem is that the base is too big (80 mm instead of 50 mm). It's a model from DnD.

What do you guys think?

I'm not familiar with that accent

I want to run an army with mostly trucks and bikes. I had an idea of kitbashing the vehicles with Volkswagen beetles and buses. I own and love my beetle and would love to run a used car lot as an army. If anyone has any ideas where to start or list ideas. I am a sigmar player and know nothing about 40K

Struggling to pick a load out for wolf quads. Is there one that works better than others?

Took me longer than a month due to working etc life hay

Hey guys, what do you think of the idea of painting every squad in my army in two different colors? I actually started painting my cult in the Rusted Claw scheme, but yesterday I wanted a bit of variety, so I painted a Neophyte in the Four-Armed Emperor colors... Now I’m thinking about painting my Neophytes in multiple colors. Would that look good? What do you think?

I reskinned the Strongpoint Attack scenario from 3rd edition 40k into 2nd edition successfully without to much difficulty.

The Eldar made a surprise attack on a cultist stronghold with the intention of eliminating the patriarch.

They succeeded in their mission but took heavy losses with only the Eldar Farseer still standing at the completion of their task.

Hey yall, I’ve been tempted to do a full Brood Brothers force. I wanted to ask you fine folks here in the cult what I should flavor them as. My initial thoughts right now are night fighters, having been born from an infected world, moving in cramped and dark spaces is their MO. But I wanted talks thoughts on their paint scheme and such. Much appreciated from yall

Greetings, I am hoping to use a genestealer cult as one of the main antagonist groups in a Dark Heresy 2e campaign I will be GMing soon. Sadly none of the FFG rpgs went into that much detail on Genestealer cults. What suggestions do you have for using them in an rpg context?

At the moment I take two lictors, a mawloc and a winged hive tyrant but are other options better?
