				<title>The Hidden Ones CSM + Cultists</title>
				<description><![CDATA[   Back in 2nd edition when shooting into melee was Kosher my favorite unit in the game was my chaos cultists.  At first I used necromunda gangs, but it wasn't enough cultists so I purchased a lot of <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(45);'>GEQ</span> models that I purchased with the original intent of using as chaos cultists back in 3rd edition.  I ended up going into a several year hiatus and ended up missing almost all of 4th edition only to come back to the game to find out that chaos cultists have joined squads in the realm of the lost and the damned.  At that point I began converting my cultists into <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(69);'>IG</span> so I could use them for something and found that I do enjoy playing them as infantry, but I missed having the mix of <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(95);'>MEQ</span> and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(45);'>GEQ</span> in the same army.  Then the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(305);'>GK</span> codex came out, and once again for the first time in years there became a way to mix <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(95);'>MEQ</span> and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(45);'>GEQ</span> together again.<br /> <br />   Found some bits online to help bring my a conversion idea of mine into a real project.  Egyptian themed heads and shoulder pads from Scribor + Vibro Khopesh/Glaives from Kromlech + Thousand sons bits and the first of my prototype <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(305);'>GKs</span> are finished.  Thus far I am very happy with the way they look, especially when mixed in with my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(45);'>GEQ</span> units on a desert basing.   <br /> <br /> Anyhow here are the first 2 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(95);'>MEQ</span> prototypes along with the some of the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(45);'>GEQ</span> I would use as henchmen.  Robed figures would be Purifiers, non robed figures would be strike squads or interceptors if I were to add a disc of Tzeentch.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/222198-Prototype.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/5/16/222198_sm-Prototype.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/222199-Prototype.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/5/16/222199_sm-Prototype.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/222201-Prototype.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/5/16/222201_sm-Prototype.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/222200-Prototype.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/5/16/222200_sm-Prototype.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> Basing scheme <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/171800-1%252F9%252F11.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/1/10/171800_sm-1%252F9%252F11.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(45);'>GEQ</span> finished a few months ago<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/168099-Alpha%20Legion%2C%20Alpha%20Legion%20Shenanigans%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Corrupted%20Ig%2C%20Imperial%20Guard.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/12/30/168099_sm-Alpha%20Legion%2C%20Alpha%20Legion%20Shenanigans%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Corrupted%20Ig%2C%20Imperial%20Guard.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/168097-Alpha%20Legion%2C%20Alpha%20Legion%20Shenanigans%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Corrupted%20Ig%2C%20Imperial%20Guard.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/12/30/168097_sm-Alpha%20Legion%2C%20Alpha%20Legion%20Shenanigans%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Corrupted%20Ig%2C%20Imperial%20Guard.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> Anyhow the real debate now is between proceeding with building <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(45);'>GEQ</span> cultists for a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(307);'>PAGK</span> + Henchmen footslogging army, or build <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(69);'>IG</span> vehicles and stay <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(69);'>IG</span>.<br /> <br /> The project is going to be giant because it's actually building 2 armies at the same time.   I'm going to be magnetizing boltguns and flashlights to the guardsmen/henchmen/cultists.   The plan is to finish the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(305);'>GK</span> army first, and then buy <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(69);'>IG</span> vehicles for a pretty much standard mech <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(69);'>IG</span> army.  Henchmen Psykers can double as <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(69);'>IG</span> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(449);'>PBS</span>, and I only have to paint  an army once to get 2 armies.<br /> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ 8 more psykers finished for 12 total, well 99% finished.  They need a tiny bit of highland brush on the base, but I want to hit them up with purity seal 1st and the weather is too cold to risk spraying sealer today.  Going to start work on purifiers today until the weather improves.<br /> <br /> Anyhow here are the next 8 and their bases.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/231385-Psykers.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/6/6/231385_sm-Psykers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> Here they are on their bases<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/231387-Psykers.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/6/6/231387_sm-Psykers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/231386-Psykers.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/6/6/231386_sm-Psykers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> All 12 psykers together <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/231389-Night%20Goblins%2C%20Psykers.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/6/6/231389_sm-Night%20Goblins%2C%20Psykers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/231390-Psykers.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/6/6/231390_sm-Psykers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> And one picture of them with marines and guardsmen/warriors.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/231388-Henchmen.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/6/6/231388_sm-Henchmen.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> Time to start working on more purifiers and hope the weather warms up enough for purity seal.<br /> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Weather picked up so I was able to purity seal all my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(45);'>GEQ</span> and add some highland brush to the bases.  Took a couple of pictures while all the finished models are outside of my case to get a feel of what they will look like en masse.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/233541-Guardsmen%252FCultists.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/6/12/233541_sm-Guardsmen%252FCultists.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/233542-Guardsmen%252FCultists.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/6/12/233542_sm-Guardsmen%252FCultists.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> I also picked up some resin terrain pieces from a pet shop's aquarium section.  Right now my big debate is if I want to pick up more.  I'm thinking of grabbing a few more pieces for a terrain set at home that would double as pieces for a portable diorama.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Thanks, was worried at first that they would be to small but it's turning out ok.<br /> <br /> Very weathered is just the kind of feel I'm going for.  I think I'll pick more of those pieces up eventually.]]></description>
