Right-o after caving completely in I've ordered a nice chunk of Onslaught Miniatures Terran Hybrids after seeing a thread on this very forum. I'm now going to be running a full 'Stealer Cult corrupted by Chaos (Just like the good old days of RT). I've already have a large Cult for 40k so it's rather fitting to remake it in 6mm But being newish to 6mm I'm rather stuck on what figures to use, so does anyone have some recommendation for unit/tank choices or can point me in direction of pictures of completed forces. Many thanks Chico |

I used some kitbashed exodus wars vehicles as transports and notchimeras in my Nurgle LatD. I think there is a pic (unpainted) in my plog. Planning on reusing for my onslaught hybrid cult too. |

Perhaps we could be of more assistance, if we knew what models you are looking for. Having looked at the Cult list in the Army Compendium, I guess you are looking for proxies for the standard Guard vehicles. My best advice would be to look at the function of the unit, and start searching for suitable proxies. There are plenty of good 6mm manufaturers nowadays, so there are plenty of fun models. Since it is a cult uprising, non-standard vehicles might suit you better anyway. I know that is the way I am heading with my Chaos Cultists. For instance: Leeman Russ - main battle tank Chimera - APC Basilisk: self-propelled artillery Hydra - self-propelled anti-air Sentinels - scout vehicle (walkers are in short supply) Civilian vehicles - these are the hardest. I find most 6mm trucks are a bit on the small side. I loved uvenlords(?) mixing of old-school battlewagonz with truck bits. Onslaught Miniatures has something down the pipeline, but I do not know what, yet. So, in Exodus Wars: Battle Tank: Achilles http://www.steelcrowngames.com/products ... t-squadron Chimera: Phalanx APC http://www.steelcrowngames.com/products ... c-squadron Basilisk: Apollo http://www.steelcrowngames.com/products ... pa-battery Hydra: Icharus http://www.steelcrowngames.com/products ... ag-battery Scout vehicles: Agamemnon http://www.steelcrowngames.com/products ... detachment Other good companies for your needs are: Dark Realm Microworld Games Brigade Troublemaker Games (the upcoming plastic/metals should cover Chimeras/Basilisks/Hydras) |

Hey, thanks for the help. I'm running it as the Net Epic list. Options I'm finding hardest are Cultists/Brood Brothers, Aye while I can run with IG or Chaos Cultists I'm not really keen to run that many mono-pose plastics. I'm also on based it on a low tech world which tends to limit some of the options. The other main problem is the lack of suitable Limos, which is a must for any self respecting Cult. Of course being on a Low tech world I picture mine being around the 1930/1940 style of car. Now as I'm running them with Chaos, I'd also like some options for alternative Chaos Marines and Rhinos. Many thanks Chico |

Depending on how corrupted you want your Chaos Marines to be, Novan Elites from Troublemaker Games' latest crowdfunder might fit the bill. Rhinos are really easy to find on eBay but if you are set on buying new, Onslaught do a nice APC that could proxy as a Rhino. |

I agree with most of these choices ... however, check out TMG Cybershadow infantry in hooded robes for Cultists - http://www.steelcrowngames.com/products ... ry-century Also check out - Angel Barracks has Junker Insurgents + CinC SEM is going to release Irregular/Insurgents soon ... I may mix those together to make a Cultists/Insurgent unit .... For '30s- '40s vehicles you may have to go with WWII 6-10mm staff cars and military trucks ...

Thanks very much, I think the Cybershadows Infantry should do me rather nice for Brood Brothers

Other Cultist options I am considering: Dark Realm Ketzali http://www.darkrealmminiatures.co.uk/st ... t=8&page=1 Exodus Wars Zho Light Infantry http://www.steelcrowngames.com/products ... ry-company These I use as stock infantry myself for Chaos Covens http://www.darkrealmminiatures.co.uk/st ... t=2&page=1 I know I'll be getting me some AB insurgents once I get to my undivided/genestealer cult  Best of luck, and start a paint thread when you get started /Fredmans |

Onslaught stuff is a gift for sure, but you can run some simple conversions off of Orks too: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=15730&start=75 I really like the Exodus Wars Hoplon APCs. Classic lines. That same thread shows a conversion from one and how pathetically long it has been since I worked on my Cult!

One again thank you everybody, those Dark Realm bits are nice an cheap so may place an order and do some mix and matching  I'll check that thread out Edit: Bought a pack of both Ketzali & Light Infantry as a taster, Idea being to get other humans to mix with the Light Infantry and use the Ketzali as 4th Gen Hybrids to mix in with them. I think a ratio of 1 Ketzali to every 3 bases will work

Those Hoplon MK2 are rather tasty, can't decide which of the 3 variants I like most

I went with the Hoplon because of the pimpmobile design vibes. Great gangsta cult factor. |
