Hi, I just finished my first batch of these very nice models from Onslaught miniatures:
Image
The models are amazing and I will finally be able to get my hands on a genestealer cult with a reasonable investment :)
I would like to be able to collect a 2000pts army with the right "feel" before summer but I need some help:

Anyone have any suggestions on where I can find some good trucks to move them around in.
I really like the look of this one http://www.ghqmodels.com/store/n129.html but I'm guessing it will be to small...

Also I play NetEA and still haven't made up my mind if I am going to make my own list, use them as a Stigmatus Covenant or field them as an ordinary Imperial Guard army. (I have looked at the "Children of the light" army list but until it gets some more love it just doesn't ring my bell :-\ ) Anyone else who already have this type of army or anyone who can guide me?

Suggestions is very welcome :)

I'd check out these upcoming trucks from Dropzone Commander
viewtopic.php?f=57&t=25865

They resemble the old limos shown in the studio genesteeler cult army in Rogue Trader days. While 10mm, epic really is about 8-9ish so they probably work.

Very nice, I was planning to use these models to represent my Lost and the Damned force when they become available in the UK.
This Pic has definitely made up my mind to do it.
I am planning on using Exodus Wars Hoplon Mk2's as Land Transporters when they become available.
Come on Mr Webb

I also love these minis (as with all Deacon's work) and have them on my armies to do list.

As for lists - 12.3 Genesteeler Cult is an experimental army in the Net Epic Armageddon list compendium.

Not sure about trucks, what about some WWII in 6mm?

thanks for the suggestions, one of the trucks from Dropzone might do it. Still I would like something more in the same appearance as the one in the link if I may be picky :)

Lost and the damned you say, what kind of army is that?
I have looked at the Hoplons and they look nice, might just do it...

The experimental list is the one I talked about before, I just thought it was named Children of the light...
Yea the sculpts is very nice. (The Abominations is a little bit boring and static but the rest is good so I use them to fill the ranks :) ) Also it would have been nice with a Hybrid character but you can't have it all ;D
ordinary WWII 6mm usually is kind of small but if you know any big trucks it might do!

I'd definitely go with those DZC trucks. Given the size comparison they look about right

I just got the DZC 2-player starter box and I have to say, the scales don't look even remotely compatible to me. I haven't got all of the stuff put together yet, but there is a HUGE difference in size between the infantry.

Great work on the Cult ! The DZC may be a little big, but I'd go with those over GHQ ... GHQ 6mm is too small ... I like the DZC trucks, better a little big then to small ... Can some one give me a link for the Genestealer Cult list ?

Agreed, the infantry are way too big but if you look at the trucks' cab doors and compare them to the guys riding on the back with the autocannon etc in the tray the truck looks too small for the infantry. Plus up against the coins they aren't too bad. They are of course as big as tanks but that won't look too bad.

Great cult! First I've seen painted. Don't forget posting more pics as you progress!

Looks great. I'd be very interested in your thoughts on the genestealer cult list.

Of course one option is not to use the Infantry/weapon mounted in back ... should be easy enough to make or use other weapons. And use some extra Onslaught Hybrids for gunners ... Or just wait for Exodus Hoplon Mk.IIs ...
