In light of the re-release of Necromunda and the gorgeous new models, I've come to thinking that the House Goliath Gangers would look pretty darn good as genestealer hybrid cultists, maybe with a few headswaps and an odd rending claw snuck in somewhere, which leads me to several questions:

- How would you go about achieving it?

- how would you run said converted cultists?
They're a bit too big and beefy for neophytes. Would you use them as acolytes? Aberrants? Or would you have them as some form of allied AM unit?

For me, I just leave them as human. But loyal to Genestealers Cult. Add GSC icon on them and I am done.

I get the feeling that such big hulking cultists would show more signs of mutation though, but I suppose it depends how you interpret the genestealer cult as infiltrators. Personally, seeing as my army would only ever be seeing combat on the final day of the uprising, it makes sense that the more mutated and inhuman creatures would throw off their robes and reveal themselves in all their alien glory.
