The Cult Rises.

The Cult Rises.

Like most others, my Cult is largely centred around the characters that were contained within the Deathwatch Overkill boxed game.

The Broodlord is a fantastic model though.

My Chimera converted into a Goliath Rockgrider model.

What next, if anything, for the Cult?

The Start Collecting box looks good to obtain another Goliath and Neophyte squad along with some Aberrants.

The Tectonic Fragdrill is almost too good to resist as well.

A Bit Of A Painting Frenzy.

Inspired by all the new arrivals, I found it was quite easy to find the time to avoid having them join the Bareplastic Mountain.

The Jackal Alphus.  A nice model but, if I hadn't picked it up as part of a Kirton Games bundle deal, I would probably have used a spare sniper rifle from the bits box to convert one from the standard Jackals box rather than but this one separately.

The large Neophyte squad.

Some added Genestealer shock troops.

The two Jackal squads.

I need to work on a suitably flashy design for the front of the Ridgerunners to break up the flat grey but, again, these are a really nice addition to the range.

What next for the Cult.  Judging y some of the rumours, it would be a Start Collecting box for a Rockgrinder, Aberrants and another Neophyte squad.

Next week, I may look at arranging out the whole Cult.

New Arrivals

With the advent of some nice weather on Friday afternoon, I was able to crack on with some spray painting plus, in a reversal of last week's delivery, the Ridgerunners arrived a day early.

 

As was the case with the Goliath, the crew are too good to have mounted on a vehicle so I now have a kneeling scanner bod to add to a Neophyte squad.

Time for more painting.

The Cult Spreads.

I've only had a small amount of time available but I've now finished off the basing for the Alphus and two Jackal squads and even managed to put together some Genestealers.

I had only just realised that the only four Genestealers I possessed were from the Overkill box.

There should be some spray painting time available this weekend as long as the weather remains dry.

A Pack Of Jackals.

Giving more fuel to my hopes that future iterations of Guard will be better proportioned than the plastic Cadians are the Genestealer Cult Jackals. 

After a quick trip to the Sorting Office this morning, I was able to spend the afternoon putting the models together. 

To me, the weakest link is the Alphus. There is no customisation of the model although it does look good. 

Considering the price, most would probably be better off buying a box of Jackals with mates and each converting an Alphus with a sniper rifle from a bits box. 

More as I finish off the second box.  Then I move onto the three Ridge runners advance ordered from Kirton Games.

Meanwhile, the latest Praetorians look on with trepidation at the new pale skinned, bumpy headed arrivals and their new toys.
