That Zardoz Zed Ork will haunt me.....

That game looks fantastic, what is it? Looks stunning and a lot of fun.

**Mr Saturday**

Pulp Alley. LOTS of fun. A very light narrative-based system. I had tears of laughter rolling down my face during that game.

I see you spotted Zardork. A unique take on orkiness for sure.

**SisterSydney**

I just read the battle report. Sounds like fun, and some great pictures.

I'd love to have proper 40K rules for this force, though....

**Mr Saturday**

Worry not. As models are added this force will progress from Pulp Alley to a Necromunda gang, and from there to a 1000 and then 1500 point 40k force. Figuring out a colour scheme for a Contagii leman russ will be interesting.

**SisterSydney**

Cool. Will you use it as a straight Codex:Tyranids force or something funkier?

**Mr Saturday**

Nope, Imperial Guard with a smattering of tyranid units.

**SisterSydney**

Yay, IG. You'll have some severe restrictions on the two "allies" working together, though.

**Mr Saturday**

Yeah, the stealers and broodlord will be pretty much own their own. Still, the price of theme must be paid.

**DarkMistro**

Bet they will be very interesting to go against if ever used in matches and such

**Mr Saturday**

After spending a long damn time on my painting table, the heavy weapon hybrid is done, and he brings the hybrid squad up to half strength.

**SisterSydney**

Such beautifully hideous models....

**lliu**

Man, that model is waaayyyyyyy past GW quality!

**Mad..**

You are doing some awesome work here... I've always loved genestealers so this is reallt doing it for me... keep it up!

Loving this!

Heavy weapon Hybrid looks really smart, well smart for a mutated freak anyway.

**weetyskemian44**

Mr Saturday is bulk awesome. Something about combining mechanicus with genestealers is ultimate grimdark combo

**odinsgrandson**

Groovy conversions.

I'm definitely going to have to consider some of this for inspiration as I put together my 'stealer hybrids for the Space Crusade Renegade campaign (it features an infected Adeptus Mechanicus Magos who turns to Chaos).

**Mr Saturday**

Thanks folks, I really enjoyed working on big ugly.

**Mr Saturday**

After some serious detective work I managed to get my hands on some Rogue Trader Imperial robots for use with my adeptus mechanicus genestealer cult. The first off the assembly line is this venerable castellan. It's my favourite of the old robots, and was a real treat to paint. I've kept him in mechanicus colours, albeit somewhat tarnished and battle worn. I figure the cult isn't too big on keeping it's machines in parade condition when it's fighting for control of the cities.

And with the latest hybrid.

**Dark Lord Seanron**

Super old school! I like it a lot

The Magos especially!

**Mr Saturday**

Thanks Seanron.

Continuing on with the cult, I painted one of my all time favourite miniatures, the cult magus with scanner. He took some tracking down, but once I had this fellow it wasn't long before I had to paint him. As with many Olley sculpts he's a riot of gorgeous texture, and was a treat to paint. He painted up nicely in my adeptus mechanicus scheme.

**MagickalMemories**

Great stuff. Love the conversions.
Question:
Where did you get the metal head on your initial test model? I'm doing my own GStealer Cult and would love to find some of those to throw around on some of the Mutant Rabble (Conscripts) I'm making to go with it.
Thanks.

**Mr Saturday**

They're from Victoria Lamb: http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/cthood-alien-heads

**Lord Scythican**

Man your stuff is awesome! This really makes me want to do some of these for my collection.

You know what...you really need to do an imperial knight one day.

**SJM**

The robot and controller guy is great, models seems timeless apart from the robots bolter, thought about changing it out? Sticks out like a swore thumb.

**Rippy**

Very original and cool looking! awesome concept.

**Mr Saturday**

Cheers folks.

apart from the robots bolter, thought about changing it out? Sticks out like a swore thumb.

It took me long enough to find all the bits for this lad! I like the Rogue Trader era guns, so she stays.

**r_squared**

These look ace, I like the way you've blended the mechanicus and genestealer aspects along with some Rogue trader models.
Great Job!

**Mr Saturday**

A new addition to the cult. This little treasure is not a conversion! He's from the Malignancy range from the new game Macrocosm. They are literally ideal for hybrids.

And for comparison...

They have about twenty sculpts for the range. Leaders, heavy weapons etc.

**lliu**

This is very nice!!!

**dubovac**

They are perfect and influence by certain company can be recognized

. Thanks also for showing us that company because I never heard of them before and they have some interesting minis although at the moment they dont ship to my country but I will keep my eye on them.
