The first Cultist

The first member of the Genestealer Cult is complete! I've painted the models and made bases partly in batches, so the rest of the squad will follow soon. Usually I don't use any strong colours when I paint, so painting orange was a bit challenging.

I experimented a lot on these guys, so when I post a couple more miniatures, you'll see that the orange and sepia are done slightly different. 

I'm especially happy with the base. Since this is a new project, I wanted to create some new types of bases. I tried out textured plastic card, shaped like floor tiles. The result made me think of the basement of a long abandoned and ruined hospital.
