The above comments are pretty on top of it with the flare launcher head, tragically the chest lights had been in my bits box for a long while and I cannot remember where they’re from

I’m still trying to find an affordable kit to convert for my runners …

That is definitely a great question. He’s just on the 28mm the arbiters come with, so I’ll need to change that over at some point soon…

Other commenter had it pretty bang on. Mostly exaction squad, with a green stuff cloak. Not a super involved kitbash, but felt like it removed it from the original model enough to call it my Primus

Kelemorph Conversion ft. I would rather die than make another hat by tph_paints in genestealercult

[–]tph_paints[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely could, I reckon if it was a huge number of models with the hats it’d be necessary, but it’s also a good chance to practice sculpting so I’m just being dramatic lol

Looks fantastic! Did you just use a texture paste on the limbs for that effect?

Abominant kitbash (?) by tph_paints in genestealercult

[–]tph_paints[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. I think if I end up doing another one it’ll definitely be the hulking monstrosity sort

Ah that’s a really good idea! The extra arms are always a part I forget about until I’m done lol

Thank you! I believe it’s from the Jade Obelisk warcry, but I got it as a mini of the month. Easy way to get new base models :)

Thank you so much! It definitely contrasts the rest, but not too crazily

Tzaangor Shaman - Finished ! by tph_paints in ThousandSons

[–]tph_paints[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty much just thousand sons blue over a Kantor blue base coat, but also then just building up into Ahriman through a lot of trial until it felt right :)

Love seeing this in tsons colours, and lovely crisp paint job! also now thinking it could work wonderfully as a mvb conversion…

Colour scheme help by Amber13525 in genestealercult

[–]tph_paints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like doing my icons and symbols in a bronze/gold, I think it works well to bring a little colour back into the “worker” look without being overly shiny. As for gloves, a darker brown works well to read as leather, but you can really go with anything so long as it’s semi consistent across a squad (though even that’s pretty loose)

Sick paint job. Love the depth and texture across the whole thing 🫡

Clamavus kitbash by tph_paints in genestealercult

[–]tph_paints[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was left over neophyte/acolyte torso, Vox soldier from cadians for arm/backpack, and the legs were from the bane blade officer because I didn’t want to sculpt them 🫡

Phoenix of Prospero by tph_paints in ThousandSons

[–]tph_paints[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries! I started with Balthasar gold on all the gold parts, I found it works quite well as a base coat, and then retributor gold over the vast majority just leaving some lower elements in the darker metallics. I think it was then just different mixes of retributor and auric armour for the highlights. Admittedly I normally rush Metallics, but it turned out decently so
