Evil Eye Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 As the title suggests, post converted models you've made for your cult! I've been converting a few minis for mine. Mostly fairly minor, but I have been a bit more ambitious with the tanks I've been making for them. First up is something I may have posted before- a rather bizarre topsy-turvy Leman Russ Exterminator with hull-mounted autocannons and the lascannon in the turret. The basis is a Chimera with a Somua S35 "World War Toons" chibi tank from Meng grafted on, along with lots of extra parts and the autocannons from a Firestrike turret. The basic formula is heavily inspired by Rednekkboss' rather awesome traitor guard Russ tanks, which use a similar build but with a Tiger instead. Still needs some cleanup, extra details and gap filling (and stowage!) but otherwise mostly done! The other tank I've been building is a Hellhound, converted from a Tamiya Panzer II tooled in 1971. This one also needs some extra stowage, cleanup and general TLC before it's ready for paint (also need to either find the other towhook or remove the one already on there and replace it with something else) but I'm also very happy with it so far. Especially for a conversion based on a £10 model tooled 52 years ago! Finally, my most heavily converted character (so far) is this Primus based on the Canoness model; the "Mad Matron" of the Black Advent cult! Anyway, over to you!

Wormwoods Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I've been slowly converting a Not!GSC army, if that counts? No alien DNA, just human rebels and liberated servitors. Mostly GSC bits and Necromunda.

Maximus Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Looking good. I do like a scratchbuild or kitbash, especially for vehicles. The asymmetry of the tow hook on the second vehicle gives it more of a salvaged look, which is ideal for the GSC. What scale of model do you find works best? I have a 1/35 scale Jagdpanther to convert but I think it looks too big so I may have to take a saw to it.

The Panzer II is a smallish tank and as such in 1/35 ends up about the size of a Chimera. 1/48 is closer to 40K's very loose scale, though obviously the realistically scaled details will be very small next to 40K stuff.

sitnam Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I’ve posted these before, but I’ll take an excuse to do it again! With a box of Acolyte hybrids, a box of Kairic acolyte bodies (I bought the kit for 40k Tzeentch kitbashing, the bodies had been sitting around for a while) and a few eBay bits for Tyranids bio weapons I was able to make 16 cultists. I ended using the actual Acolyte bodies to make some chaos mutant troopers but those are still left unpainted I imagine these guys as being from a background atypical to the standard mining revolution cult. This cult operate on a planet that is both a Hive planet, with several significant Hive cities, and a jungle world. Despite the pollution brought by the Hive cities, the flora and fauna of the world continue to thrive due to their adaptability. Terrestrial communication and transport between the hives is difficult. This cult is the remnants of a cult that was destroyed on one of the hive cities. Their original patriarch was slain, and the few survivors escaped to the jungles. There they fight various jungle tribes and fugitive outlaws, all while avoiding PDF patrols. Due to the lack of resources, the cult has a significantly higher rate of mutation. Metamorphs (my favorite GSC unit) are extremely common, and ranged biomorphs make up for the lack of heavy weaponry Evil Eye, Xenith, LameBeard and 3 others 4 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380818-post-your-genestealer-cults-conversions/#findComment-5995381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Durante Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 The Dorn was pretty easy. Just some GSC bits and pieces from the old brood brother upgrade set. still working on the paint and need to finish up some more details and add some graffiti. The one mining laser neophyte was a combo has is weapon and arms come from some extra acolyte bits, an extra mining laser from a Goliath truck and power packs from a guard Sentinel.

I figured 'second cranium embedded in chest w/ no eyes/mouth' would be creepier and less crowded or cartoony than 'two full heads'... which could also cost me another full head for converting! I used a mutant skull basing bit for the second one there I believe... Cheers, The Good Doctor.

Rogue Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 They look fun. And I think it reflects well on the models (and your kitbashing) that they're very obviously GSC, even when lots of bits aren't.

Captain Durante Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Just finished my Jackal Alpha. Took inspiration from Toecutter in Mad Max. For some of his extras.
