Sigh - I'd never seen this one....  Any pics of the finished product at least, anyone?

Yes, in the article that I mentioned, he uses a Speedsta !  Don't have one in my Cult ... but might come up with something !

I never made a 40K Limo... but I do still have some Speedstas that I bought specifically for Limos... but they are not so good. I will be probably be using a few other minis instead. There are a few 6mm civilian cars out there that look ok.
I also have a few old GS Familiars for a Patriarch...

Got pics?
Yeah. I had me eye on Speedstas as limos.
I've got Skytrex (i think it were) 6mm WWII trucks and half tracks for cheap and nasty transports, and the Familiars for the Patriarch (daemon prince...)
Last time i was working on 40k Cult stuff, I converted about a dozen Catachans with bits of plastic stealer and old Nids, and ended up with an evil looking motley crew of hybrids. Used a couple of Ork Buggies to make dune buggy LAVs as well. My IG army of the time was all Catachan, so this was the easiest way. Never found me the 1/43 Half Tracks I was hoping to convert into a Cult transport though.
Looks like I'm doing the Cult list when I've finished the Iron Warriors then...

Hi!
I really wish there were more pictures of 6mm infantry. There are pictures of some )most I beleive can be obtained from Maksims excellent 6mm links on the yahoo group), but there are still gaps.
I wish companies could have picutres on ALL their minis.

Yes it is very odd indeed that companies expect people to buy something without seeing it first! No wonder GW outcompetes these 'lucky dip' companies!
Even my usual 15mm ancients supplier 'Essex Miniatures' has picutres few and far between onits ancient site... I mean even with its vast ranges it cannot take that long to photograph and put up a pictures of each figure on their website!!
Back to genestealer cults, I remember both the 40k article and the firepower article on genestealer cults, yes the limosines were very cool!
In 40k, I know some tyranid players just use their hybrids as gaunts with guns (spinefists or similar for most small arms, perhaps with a 'mutant' heavy upgrade if the brood includes a heavy weapon). I was thinking of maybe doing the same, plus including magus's as zoanthropes (non-close combat orientated psykers) That way I could still use it all in tournaments. The patriarch is a 'brood lord' now of course! I would love to use the old dude in the chair for this  , but I only have the old walking patriarch figure so he would have to do...

Aye. I suppose that works better than using the Cult as an IG army. There's NOTHING in the IG army that would make an approximation of a Purestrain.

If only there was someone we could get to sculpt mini's for us. Civilian vehicles would be so cool.

I got some 6mm Civ. Veh. from SJ Games for their Car Wars game IIRC. I scatter them around Imp. cities as cover. I think they are waay OOP !
