Hi Everyone,
Im new to this forum. Been picking up my exacto knife for the last few months and have been working on some conversions.
Wanted to build a kill team with genestealers and warriors. Massively inspired by all the creations I found on the web of the last 2 decades I got to work.
There are some insane designs out there by people that made conversions and sketches. Robert Cirillo's desings that we all know and love are just breath-taking.
Being relatively new to the hobby I started with the Genestealers. While they are quite small and fiddly, I noticed I enjoy cutting up these little critters and posting them in a more dynamic way.
The genestealers have always been such a great creature design and I wanted to do the lore justice by trying my hand at giving them a bit more love then the mono pose models.
These original models have such potential.
Here are the WIP shots of the 5 Genestealer I have been working.
I hope you enjoy. Critasim and feedback welcome.

Big Claw:
This Genetealer possesses a formidable, brutish body encased in a powerful exoskeleton, capable of swift movements and Incredible speed.
However, its most striking feature lies in its left arm, once ordinary, now swollen and muscular, it dwarfs its counterpart in both size and power.
The fingers, contorted and twisted by the force of rapid mutation, have merged into a singular, claw-like weapon, capable to rend the sturdiest of armor and cleave bodies in twain with each savage strike.
Ancient Genestealer Brute:
An ancient and savage Genestealer, weathered by time. Its massive frame, adorned with broad shoulders and strong exoskeleton. Its elongated and brutish body, sinewy and powerful, bore the marks of countless battles and survival. Large upper arms, terminated by sharp, formidable rending claws.
Still more of a WIP when it comes to pose. But the ribcage that I cut away is turned upside down and it's made to have a bigger build then the other genestealers in the team. Bigger is better.
Not sure what to do with the pose. Can be standing or running.
Tentacle Horror:
This Genestealer possesses a fearsome form, with its upper arms terminating in razor-sharp rending claws, poised to slash through any obstacle in its path. But it is the lower arms of this creature that reveal a grotesque transformation, morphing into writhing and serpentine tentacles. These eerie appendages slither with an uncanny grace, capable of ensnaring and immobilizing unsuspecting prey. The lethal combination of rending claws and tentacles grants the Genestealer unparalleled versatility, allowing it to strike from a distance or engage in close-quarter combat with equal ferocity. This hybrid anatomy embodies the dark and twisted nature of the Genestealers abilities.
Reading about the genestealers being able to morph their arms into claws or tentacles , I set to work. Massive inspiration from Robert Cirillo's sketches. Making tentacals on wire with greenstuff was not fun. Next time I'll make the wire straight and bend it after. Lol.
SpeedyGhost:
The Genestealer possesses a lithe and agile body, built for swift and deadly attacks. Its upper arms culminate in wicked rending claws, honed to slice through flesh and armor with terrifying efficiency. This creature is a master of speed, darting and lunging with lightning-fast reflexes, leaving little time for its prey to react. Its streamlined physique and lethal claws make it a formidable opponent, striking fear into the hearts of those who dare to face it.
First test taking the genestealer frame apart. (please do not swear) it, cutting all them joints up to reassemble them later. More dynamic pose. More upright. Enjoyed making a first attemt at sculpting the belly and the neck. Also gave him a little more amor on the tip and sculpted the exo-skeleton to have a bit more umpf.
This little fellow is build for speed and fast attack.
HeavySwift:
This Genestealer possesses a formidable and imposing physique, with a strong and tall body built for swift and heavy assaults. Its upper arms extend into elongated appendages, terminating in razor-sharp rending claws that can tear through flesh and armor with ease. With lightning-fast speed, it launches devastating attacks, combining its strength and agility to overpower its adversaries. The Genestealer's powerful build grants it the ability to deliver punishing blows, leaving destruction in its wake.
This design was heavily inspired by the sketches of Robert Cirillo's work. The way he depicts the genestealer design is just out of this world. Wish he would make make. Wish I could do the concept justice though. I feel the designs he puts on paper are hard to replicate with the genestealer from the box. Even when I cut up all the joints and repose the hole body. Haha, maybe a hole new sculpt in greenstuff is needed.
Extensive alterations where made to the body and arms. Claws were cut up, extended,altered and put backtogether. Upping my sculpting skills.
