About the Project
I'm terrible at finishing things so this is to help me . My genestealer cult army has been a dream to finish since 1996 ! I've had many part done projects and choppy conversions but now ... Im sticking to a theme a well loved and done loads of time over now but I love the style ! Mad max meets blanchjitsu Bring on the rusts and weathering ! The cults backstory is it infected ( insert a planet name ) the cult started an uprising but found out there was a super weapon facility hidden deep under a mountain . The GSC sent a large splinter force to crack it consisting of the planets infected miners, mechanicum , guard and hybrids .As soon as they got in with the GSC leadership they found it suffered major damage and the entrance collapsed . Psychic warding sealed off the cults hive mind from the rest out side it also protected them from the tryanids stripping the world of life . Having found this super weapon it was a webway that the use to hit and raid other planets where their web ways are unprotected . You say SG1 I say GSC1 ;)

Ridge runners conversions
Following the mad max theme I spiked up some Ridge runners form the genestealer cults range . Drilling holes then glueing in 2 mm brass rods snipping the ends . I wanted a figure head like the bow of a ship so I found one from the undead mortis engine .Well I finally worked out how to add text instead of image text 😀 so I primed the runner then airbrushed chipping fluid , over coated with thinned down edge green from GW I liked the super light teal green colour then I got chipping !
After a night of chipping and weathering After chipping Iwent in with riza rust from GW ( very orange and thick paint ! ) then washed the ridge runner in AK streaking rust enamel paints . Drying with a hairdryer out side due to fumes and the smell I went in with a cotton swab loaded with white sprits removing from areas and pushing into cracks . When dry used null oil all over , after a few hours I came back in with AK sand pigment wash and repeated the removing but with a dry cotton swab
Lashes of lashes
Using false £1 eye lashes I glued them in place from the middle of the head dress to the shoulders . Then glueing grass tuffs trimming and adding thin super glue after to fix in place Goliath truck chop-shop
using my old goliath truck i built and base painted a few years ago I widended the back wheel axcel with brass rods . Then bending some thinner 2mm brass rods made the supports for a chanopy that will be made of thin cloth or dry cleaning wipe coloured .
using cheap 3 mm chain i wrapped it around the wheels then guled them in place . Chaining a spare resin wheel to the back badder pole , also looped chain in brass skull racks ( bless the mortal realms cheap skull packs ) 
Re paint time ! spraying a zenith black and wriathbone spray paints I then brushed on vallejo metal aluminium . Then using the riza rust like the bikes in places of collected rust I applied AK streaking rust Quads test paint
