Only 3 references compose the metal collection of the first generation of Genestealers. Theses metal models are somptuous especially the models with the slotta arms. Unfortunaltely, they are difficult to find on the EU collection market. Generally supplanted by the same models with the butt arms. It is suspected the arms were changed as the slotta arms used to break off the tab very easily in use. Note that an unreleased stealer was seen in the White Dwarf magazine and the Space Hulk advertisings.

The unreleased Stealer model |
I collected 15 of these metal models but only two of them have the slotta arms, so I converted the others and I swapped the butt arms by the plastics arms from the sprues of the original box. I slightly changed the orientation of the thumb to accentuate the claw effect as the metal slatta arms.

I Converted a last genestealer in an hybrid version with heavy weapon. His legs come from a Chaos Sorcerer. The back of the pictures is the prototype of my scratchbuilding and/or kitbashing 3D Space Hulk walls.

Fantastic, they look great with the work you've done on the arms. The hybrid is marvellous too, you've done some splendid conversion work.
RépondreSupprimerThank you 😄 I was very inspired for the hybrid ... I admit 😄
SupprimerAbsolutely impressive Nico!
RépondreSupprimerThank you Thomas 😄
SupprimerI can't tell you how much I love the hybrid. The conversion is really great - it looks completely natural and convincing. Well done!
RépondreSupprimerThis Hybrid conversion is the result of a mix between 2 models of Jes Goodwin... I think I have no more word to add... this is suffisant to explain why the result is so good 😄
SupprimerThose look great, especially the hybrid! Would love to see more of the kit-bashed walls too—I'm always looking for tips and tricks on getting that kind of effect.
RépondreSupprimerI will try to take a lot of wip during the building process of the Hulk. Cheers 😄
SupprimerSomehow I managed to get the unreleased model through eBay purchase- though all my slotta arms are broken!
RépondreSupprimerThank for the comment 😄
SupprimerNever even realized it was an unreleased miniature until today, so thank you for the bit of history!
SupprimerSoddin' Nora! You really have knocked it out the park with the quantity and quality here! Phwoar!
RépondreSupprimerThank you Curis ... Next step... 2 squads of Bloof Angels Terminators, 1 squad of Grey Knights and 1 Inquisitor... Lot of work 😄
SupprimerLovely work, this Space Hulk set will look fantastic. That great conversion has a wonderful sense of anticipation to it.
RépondreSupprimerOy! Thank you Otto 😄
SupprimerFantastic, great work on these 'stealers :)
RépondreSupprimerThank you Kym 😄
SupprimerSuper, évidemment ! Petite question : quelle colle utilises-tu pour fixer les figurines aux socles transparents. Je ne vois pas de blanchiment.
RépondreSupprimerSalut et merci 😄 j'utilise de la Cyano ( superglue) Percage + tige métal. Sur un seul pieds. A+ Nico
SupprimerReally great, they are really enjoyable.
RépondreSupprimerThank your Suber!
SupprimerAlways loved those, you did a great job on them!
RépondreSupprimerThank your Skully!
SupprimerPourquoi je n'ai jamais pensé aux socles transparents ? ça me paraît pas mal pour les jeux de plateaux, surtout pour moi qui déteste passer du temps sur les socles. J'adore la peinture de tes genestealers, ces vieux modèles sont décidément très sympas. Même si je suis fan de la gamme actuelle, ceux-là ont un "visage" beaucoup plus expressif. Ton hybrid est une tuerie :) Quand au décor en arrière plan, il donne juste envie d'en voir plus :)
RépondreSupprimerC'est efficace, j'ai pris du 30mm pour la prise en main et pour que les figs se touchent pas durant les parties, pour les préserver un peu :) Je suis assez fier de l'Hybrid. J'ai de quoi en faire un autre :) A+ Nico
