Genestealer Cult Purestrain Genestealers

Another day, and more miniatures prepare to enter the fray. This time I've been working on the one thing that really defines Genestealer Cult - the Genestealers themselves. I know the colours aren't very standard, but it was really important to me to have them match the rest of the force. In the end I went with a similar skin tone to the Neophytes and a stark blue for their armour panels. So far I've finished 4 of them, so one more will make it a legally fieldable unit (always a good goal to have). As the force expands, I've been looking towards making an actual "army" out of it. By that, I mean that I bought the codex and started to calculate a 500point force to get me started, as well as looking at a possible 1000 points. Like most horde armies, I think the key will be loading up on plenty of cheap troops and swarming all over the place. They also have access to a lot of rending and very cost-effective infantry. We'll see how the force develops as I go, as usual I'm just working on units that I like at the moment....

  1. They look very, very nice. I really like that color scheme; blue over white and very light lavender.

    1. Thanks. I have to admit that I wasn't sure what to go with at first, but I like how they came out in the end. I just need that Overkill box to turn up now as i'm out of models!

  3. It may not be standard, but that is a pretty great colour scheme for Stealers.

  4. I'm really happy that you went with a non standard scheme as it is so very striking.

    1. Yeah, I love the standard purple one as it's really nostalgic, but they had to match the army. I also wanted to go with a colour more akin to a flesh tone as they have evolved through the infected people, which I wanted to capture.
