The second sprue of 10 Neophyte Hybrids arrived:
I’m actually quite excited to get started on these guys, so I assembled the first unit:
For such a satisfying conversion, it’s fairly simple - just clean off the Genestealer icons and clip the back of the helmets until they fit.
The only complication is that there aren’t enough non-Genestealer-y pairs of arms to build a 10-strong loyalist-looking squad from one sprue. I borrowed some arms from the second sprue to fill out the first squad.
I got all the bodies and heads assembled for squad two, but got taken out by a headache before I could really get stuck into the arms. I had planned to use Skitarii radium carbine arms and Ranger heads on the second squad, but that seems like it will be a more fiddly conversion. The cultist torsos are somewhat wider than the Skitarii ones. I might end up ordering some more autogun arms to fill out the rest of the squads.
BATG score: +11
