Genestealer Patriarchs

Here's a 1989 'running' patriarch. My original was irretrievably broken (sat upon) in the mid 1990s, but nostalgia made me pick this one up a few years ago at a second hand stall. Check out the 1st edition Space Hulk tiles!


And that nostalgia bit again with Deathwatch: Overkill. Here's the big bad boy himself.



Over the next few weeks I'll be finishing off my genestealer cult and will blog about them here!

  4. Beautiful work! The colours are pitch perfect.

    I love that big Bob Olley face running at me. Straight out of my nightmares.

    1. Thanks, Matt! It took me a lot of experimenting to find an easy and reproducible way to get the colours 'right'.

  5. The 1989 edition is a classic. Good to see him getting some love. You've done a corker of a job mate.
