Ok, im working on alot of projects at the moment, but this is 1 ive allways wanted t do, it will only start as a small 10 man unit of them, and depending on how well they turn out i may make alot more (will be used in my tyranid army as basic genestealer)
after spending alot of time digging up info and pics on them i decided not to do it the easy way and buy them from ebay, i rather give it a go at building them myself.
This wont be the start of a cult, just adding a unique unit or 2 to my tyranid army, and if all goes well i may even think about other things like a few zoats (not sure yet though)
anyway,

When infected hosts breed (only one parent needs to be infected), their firstborn child will be a Genestealer Hybrid. The parents and any later children will be virtually enslaved to their Hybrid family member through its psychic and pheromonal emanations, cherishing it with abnormally large amounts of affection. Depending on their generation, the Hybrid offspring range from looking like humans with Genestealer traits in the first Hybrid generation to Genestealers with human traits by the last; F1, F2, and F3 Hybrids reproduce like Purestrain Genestealers by infecting otherwise normal hosts, while F4 hybrids reproduce sexually. There are no "F5 hybrids" as F4 hybrids produce only pure Genstealers or pure humans - the firstborn child will inevitably be a Purestrain Genestealer, while successive children will be purely human.

Besides humans, Genestealers can infect virtually any other race or species, and can give rise to such creatures as Genestealer-Ork Hybrids or even Genestealer-Eldar Hybrids.

^ a quote from wiki. could go indepth with different strains, but rather keep to human DNA ..... for now.

, a detailed pic showing a whole cult from hybrid to patriach. (may be another convertion later on)

a great pic, showing the differing strains of hybrid from magus state (95% human appearence) right up to a purestrain genestealer.

thats mainly all the pics and backround info i have to go on so far. I will be making the unit a mix of hybrids, though no pure strain or basic as that would seem pointless since they need little or no convertion work, just waiting for the parts to arrive from ebay now and then i can get started, all other info you have / pics are welcomed.

Welcome to the family.

ty lol, ive seen ky's ones, but dont like the way they were done, and the other one is too basic, im going for a more indepth convertion.

well, so much for "next day delivery"
ordered the parts sunday night, so they should have arrived on tuesday since it would have been sent on monday, but, as with all good plans, they soon fall apart, and i cant start this project untill the parts turn up, ill post next when they arrive and i can get started.

KK

lol, i just like the old skool aspect of em, the way they look in my pic thingy lol, they are great models, but sadly outdated, so all im doing is re-newing them.
