Hello!

Here follows a log of my new genestealer cult kill team, based on the cult of the bladed cog: admech meets alien meets human in not so perfect fusion. First up is the kelermorph, which I knew I had to have a go at as soon as I saw the leaks.



Arm is a phosphor pistol from the skitarii set with a ruststalker arm chopped up and re-pinned to get the pose right.







Got the cape and holsters to do with a few more touch ups (and the base).

Really looking forward to converting some alien/machine/human hybrids. I’d been waiting to do a dark mechanicus kill team but I think those admech parts will get put towards this project instead. Plus a great gateway drug into a gsc army proper...

Looking good so far! The skin looks especially eerie. The Bladed Cog cult has piqued my interest too as it has a lot of conversion potential, especially with the Kill Team boxset.

That guy was awesome before, and your conversion looks even cooler. Loving that skintone.

If anything, your conversion makes the Kelermorph's rules make more sense, since his beefy pistol statline has been the cause of some grumbling.

Lovely conversion and colour palette. I am really excited for the new kill team releases - plenty of talented people always seem to work magic with them. Will be following this thread with interest!

Another member of the kill team, probably going to use this one as an acolyte or Metamorph leader. A corrupted skitarii/tech adept of some sort, based on an infiltrator torso and acolyte legs.



And then some brood brothers for fodder for a full army, because someone needs to hold the backfield!

Love the BSF guard models and all I’ve done is a few headswaps as well as remove most of the spiky bits.

Some more converted acolytes:







And an aberrant hypermorph for good measure:



There’s plenty of green stuff work to fill gaps and joints and some basing to finish.

Test model for the brood brothers is done:



Armour plates came out a little more blue than green but overall I’m happy with the palette and should have the rest of the squad done soon.

Nice work, Reanimator - the orange as a spot colour really pops, without overpowering the rest of the model.

@Dysartes- thanks! The chitin/carapace colour for the alien parts is incubi darkness- so I mixed it with grey to get the armour plate colour, the idea being they would emulate the alien biology by painting their armour in the likeness of their new alien overlords. I also really liked the concept of a cult based on a forge world (for conversion potential). Ryza was always my fave of the example colour schemes and so orange ended up being the spot colour. I imagine they tear off bits of robes and so forth to protest their former enslavement- completely without irony!

I’ve started work on a paint test model for the aberrants:

Aberrant test model complete!

Largely happy with the concept as a whole- might modify the colour of the trousers slightly for more contrast with the orange. Thoughts?

The aberrant is quite nice, dig both the blending and sheen on the carapace parts as well as the tarnish and heft of the metal claw. Look forward to seeing more of those WIP mashups you posted painted

@FTL @Boss Salvage, Thanks!

Here’s a few more WIP of an abominant plus his very hench-men. Now that I’ve got another squad to paint up I can swap back to painting. Hoping if I flip from construction to painting at the end of each squad I can maintain motivation and rhythm!

These are great. Looking forward to seeing more. Are you planning on picking up some ambots? Seems like they'd be perfect conversion fodder.

Some progress (still WIP) for the acolytes:



Just the carapace in green to highlight. Aberrants nearly finished too so should be able to put up completed images soon.

@Gael Knight, I like the conversion potential for ambots but I’m not sure what they could count as. A bit small for sentinels perhaps?

Finally finished the rest of the aberrants and the abominant leading them. Really happy with these and desperate to get back to building some new toys. Although I do still need to finish those acolytes.

These turned out great.

I'm not sure what the Ambot's could be used for. I don't think I appreciated how large they actually are compared to most of the Cult line.

I think lengthening the legs could get you Sentinel height. Could look good to have somebody wired into the machine.

Or use them as heavy weapon teams. 60mm base and strap a heavy weapon on there.

Thanks guys!

I like the ambot as a heavy weapons mount. I have the autocannons ready but hadn’t made the crews yet. Could be interesting.

Here’s the rest of the acolytes:
