I decided to go with a quite pale skin colour, which tuned out quite nice. This is however a completely naked model, with very few details that are not part of the skin. To make it look more interesting I gave it some dots and veins. But I wasn't quite happy with the model until I gave it a base. This one has some extra details on the base, and more orange than the other members of the Cult. The orange on the base makes the model blend a lot better with the ones in orange clothing.
Bloodletters are one of my favourite GW kits. The legs and hunched forward torsos work great for all kinds on models. Here I have a couple of pictures of the same base model used in three different projects. They all even have arms from the fantasy Ghoul kit!
On the left I have a member of a radical Inquisitorial Warband. I'm not completely sure what this model is supposed to be. But the thought behind it is that he originally was a human, before the Inquisitor he serves had him turned into a monster.
In the middle is the Genestealer Hybrid. The Bloodletter is a perfect base model for a sneaky looking alien.
On the right is one of my Slaaneshi Brutes, that I made earlier this year.
Thanks for looking!
That looks fantastic - the whole trio is rather creepy! Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteThat is super creepy. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLovely work,a really unique miniature. I think the vestigial arm is my favourite part.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like that detail as well.
DeleteFantastic looking genestealer hybrid! Great idea to use a plastic bloodletter as a foundation. Your careful modifications and greenstuff work make it difficult to tell where he came from. I also really like his hands; their largely human appearance helps make the hybrid even creepier. The sickly white color scheme fits perfectly.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!
Cheers!
DeleteBloodletters with Ghoul arms is one of my favourite combinations of parts.
This model is fantastic. The use of a Bloodletter was an inspired choice. The kit is excellent. Another example of Brian Nelson adding his own creativity to an idea and creating something sublime.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased to see that you did not compromise and added genitalia to the model. It is a nice detail and really makes the model seem fully realized. I look forward to seeing your exploration of other stages in the hybrid process.
Thank you! I'm glad you like the model. The genitalia is not very noticeable, but its still there. So if you give the model a closer look, it doesn't look like a Barbie Ken doll.
ReplyDeleteinteresting use of both fantasy kits. coincidentially i got both bloodletters and ghouls. guess i now have a use for both. thanks for the idea. ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteI hope you come up with something cool!
