In your first post, the only one I liked at all was the one with the cut down stealer head.
The ones in the first pic, with the Plague Monk bodies and 'Stealer heads suffer rom Bobble-Head syndrome. Those heads aregreater than human sized, but the monks are smaller than human sized. The result is a freakishly large head for the bodies.
Personally, I don't care for the plague monk bodies as hybrids at all. Hybrids are supposed to be part human and part 'Stealer (basically). Since 'stealers are so much bigger than humans, the hybrid should be bigger, too. The problem with that is that there really isn't anything suitable. About the best you could do is Catachans... and they look so.. Well... Catachan.
Very good points and they echo my own feelings. Like I said I'm just not feeling the love of the hybrid units that I felt with my cultists. Two options I can see are old chaos warriors (I still have a few bodies) and orks. I'll give orks a shot since the chaos warriors are too well armored for repping hormagaunts. Even if it doesn't work the cut down head looks OK. Angry bald heads might also work, especially with claws, hybrids are a bit random in their traits.
I think you should cut down the genestealer arms, too. They look too big on the bodies, as well. Just snip a small section out of the upper & lower arms, plastic-glue them back together & file the join to match.
I did cut them a bit but left them long, I like the freakish proportions and the idea that these monster claws sprout out of rags.
Please. I beg of you. Don't ever use that Chaos arm as a head for a Genestealer Hybrid again.
Oh OK. Just because you asked nicely.
As for the need for more 'Stealer heads... Have you tried the trade forum here, or Bartertown? There are always going to be Nid players and they'll always have extra genestealer parts. I see Tyranid ads on bartertown all the time.
I tried here but with no luck. I'll give barter town a try.
As for your Broodlord/Patriarch model... Why not use an old school Patriarch?
There are 2 old school partiarchs. The running one is a bit cartoonish and the seated one is hard to find. I may try the running one's head on a broodlord.

Feel free as I swipped the idea myself. It's a Plasticville City Hall (Model railroad O scale) I got the idea from Combat Zone Chronicles 'for the table' section.

Great site, check it out.

The problem is I'm using the 'nid codex so limos don't really fit. Yeah I could call them carnifexes or something but it's a stretch and in a 'counts as' army I need to have more clarity, not less. I do have a nice 1/48 scale german staff car and I'll have the broodlord smashing his way out of it.
