Genestealers (IV)

Here are another five Genestealers for the second unit. This unit already contains two Genestealers from the original Kill Team. I can differentiate them by checking the weapons, this unit does not have scything talons.

There is an easter egg in this picture. I found in my bitz box a Genestealer from the old Space Crusade without head... I decided to attach a Cthulhu-like head and bring him back to the gaming boards after probably something like 20 years in a box. A well deserved return to life!

Funnily enough, it is difficult to spot him among his brothers, the sculpt has aged quite nicely.

Unfortunately, I have not found yet the remaining 13, therefore I can't finish the unit before the end of the year as I was planning. I am painting now the Broodlord so I think I will finish all* Tyranids from the Army on time for Xmas.

Updated progress on the Army... over 50% painted already!
