From DavidB Genestealer Cult soldiers( 75points)

I found this human bomb trooper while digging out models to try the contrast paints on. I doubt something like this would be made again in today's environment. He had a red uniform back in the day and I only had one. He only has been succesful in taking out only a few characters in epic fashion most notable being the Eldar farseer Elderad. Equipped with knife and grenades he has miraculously survived torrents of fire and even lasted 3 rounds against an irritated hive tyrant and even the eldar dark reaper phoenix lord. 

considering his paultry attack profile when his explosive harrness fails, he has done well to tie up big hitters for even a round! I might use the legendary rules and take him to field again next time I face Razor's elite Blood Angel Marines.

In addition to being the last unit painted, these are also the last unit painted almost entierly with contrast paints. A start of a genestealer cult army. The box of GCA troopers is currently the best bang for the buck as 12 models are obtained at a cost cheaper than a squad of marines. Three boxes of these guys are easy to get for well under a hundred and can make a whole platoon plus command of Cult troopers.

I liked the white armor and orange accents of the studio force and used similar with these fellows. I used purple as a spot color to nod to the classic paint scheme.

Just a basic guard kit with a GCA upgrade sprue.  They will see use in 40k, Necromundia, and killteam. I built them keeping in mind commo, demo, combat, and sniper specialists for killteam. 

They will also see use in Inquisimundia. Another friend uses narrative hooks in apocalypse games and wants to include a platoon of GCA soldiers in game having them switch sides against the guard army they accompany to battle at some point in the battle. 

I do have hybrid and genestealer models from a few box games so a force isn't too far out of reach as my model count stands. These fellows were a recent gift as the gifter thought they were Imperial Guard... well yeah, but with a twist! As a die hard guard commander, I can never have enough Imperial guard even if they have a shady character! ;)

12 soldiers plus cannon for 70 points plus a very old penal trooper-75

These are brilliant, loving the colour scheme and the gun is knockout. Top work
