Today's miniature is a running Genestealer Patriarch that I think was released towards the end of the Rogue trader era, I finished it last month. I am not the biggest fan of this miniature but I never purchased the more favoued Genestealer Patriarch on throne as I think it had sold out at the time, another painted version can be seen here on the Lexicanum site which I highly recommend.
The miniature looks like it was scuplted by Bob Olley to me but I am not 100%.
I painted this one up for our Dark Heresy/Deathwatch campaign but our Games Master went and sourced a more modern Broodlord from Ebay so it is now redundant for a while.
I love the Genestealer cult necklace it wears.

On another note while painting miniatures is not an option for at least two weeks, I have been prepping Realm of Chaos miniatures hoping that I will be able to take part in the Oldhammer Realm of Chaos day at the Foundry. Here is a picture of some of the Beastmen and Chaos Thugs I am hoping to choose from.
Enjoy

Nice work! Always great to see an old model like that Patriarch coming to life.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim, I am still working on my photo quality hopefully it will get better :D
DeleteYou've got a good basis of models to draw from there. Are you intending to go down the purist route like Erny and myself, or branch out?
ReplyDeleteHey Orlygg, If I am understanding you correctly I am going down the purist route, I have no modern WFB minitures they are all 1980's releases some preslotta too, I am stripping stuff I painted back then as I have ebayed all the unpainted RoC stuff I had.
ReplyDeleteI have boxes and boxes of stuff in the loft so far I have found to be stripped the following
30+ Chaos Thugs
30+ Chaos Dwarves
20+ Chaos Beastmen
20+ Chaos Marauders
20+ Chaos Warriors
Palanquin of Nurgle
Chaos Dwarf Tenderizer
Chaos Dwarf Whirlwind
4 Chaos Centaurs
various Chaos Cavalry, fiends and stuff
50+ Skaven
10 Chaos Goblins
Ogres, Minotaurs and Chaos Spawn
Chaos Sorcerors
Daemonettes and Plaguebearers
More to be discovered I shall make another sortie after the weekend.
Not sure what you mean by branch out, if you mean more modern or other manufacturers for the games, not me I will be aiming for a warband in the spirit of the RoC book.
Once I finish the warband I will then work on tidying up an old RT marine squad or painting a fresh RT renegade squad for Coops game.
I've had that mini sat waiting for paint since....... 1990? I am a bad Genestealer Daddy....
