From TeemuL: Genestealer Cultists (15 points)

Tomorrow I'll be able to book my first vaccination, but I have no idea how fast I can actually have it. But it is coming and this Challenge is going. There's at least one post coming up after this one, I have been lazy doing the finishing touches and photographing them, but they are coming.




Here's three three-armed Genestealer hybrids from the Cult. Actually I don't know what they actually are, these are the first ones I painted, which look like this. They came from the Deathwatch Overkill box by Games Workshop. I have a small army of these guys now, more than enough for Kill Team, not enough for Deathwatch Overkill and definitely not enough for WH40K (even for a small crusade). My color theme for these is the purple skin with light blue eyes, tongues and robes with green protective suits - armored kind of things are drybrushed with blue, the other parts with yellow to get some variation. Much of the equipment is painted with pale white and everything is washed with Drucharii Violet before the drybrush or highlights (even the metal parts). I seem to use Drucharii Violet for many things, these Genestealers, my Sylvaneths and even for my Death Guard. But it gives a nice tone and shadow effect, which I like.

Thanks for reading, next time something with no violet! Take care, stay safe and paint!
