Converting Genestealer HQs

I have the basis of a Genestealer army but no characters. As HQs are kind of central to how Genestealer Cults (GSC) play and for their narrative I needed some. 

 Unfortunately the pockets are empty and will be for a while. So I was looking through the only sprue of GSC I own at their spare neophyte bits and spotted they had spare bodies but no legs. I have Guard legs by the ton as I used their bodies for other conversions.

To the bits box!

I needed a Primus and a Magos at least. I figured I could make a Clamavus easier than a Locus or Sanctus and was thinking the cadian vox back pack was a good place to start with him.

 The bodies didn't exactly fit the legs. Green stuff would have filled the gaps easily but I wanted a tighter fit so filed down a notch for the pointed ends of the body to sit in and get a nice snug fit. 

 The first mini I went at was the Primus. Looking at the official model he's got three arms. One with his cult blade, one with needle pistol and one his injector claw thingy. 

I don't have a spare blade in his size that looks like a bonesword so I tried to make one from a Grey Knight falcion.

 I filed down the non blade edge until it was curved and filed off the power pack thing above the hilt. It looks alright but not like a natural bone. Have to see what it does with a bit of paint. 

Next was the magos.

he was going to be harder as the original is more like a priest than one of the neophytes. So I started with a green stuff cloak. It went a bit wrong and I covered up his belt giving him a hump. I decided rather than rip it off and start again I'd embrace to hump as it made him look like an old man especially with the staff. I'd made the staff from the icon. I'd not used because that one neophyte kit I own was going to be a kill team not a "proper unit". I cut down the cult icon and reattached it to the staff top. The bones had gone to the Primus which left the chains just kind of standing there. I don't think it looks too bad so will roll with it. 

 I added lots of things to the back and over where the belt was to give him that old man carrying everything he owns look. 

My fluff is that he masquerades as a pilgrim / missionary wandering the world bringing the word of the Emperors love and how he has sent the star children to aid us all against the oppressors.

Next was the clamavus. Obviously started with the backpack from the Cadian IG kits. 

I wanted to have him with his pole speaker thing to really mark him out and managed to find a search light from an old vehicle kit that if I paint it just right will look like a nice speaker. The pole is from the grey knights kit and is a cut down warding staff. The big thick wires are from the IG heavy weapons sprues. 

 The turn table device on the original I made by cutting up one of the heavy weapons I hadn't used to make a drum like device with a sliced up auspex on top. 

 I'm hoping the paint scheme will tie it in a bit better as it's looking a bit too tacked on. The reason it's on the is because the hand is from the chainsword arm so doesn't look like a hand operating something so I needed to hide it a bit. This can be a problem with a build where you start adding too much and it just doesn't look right. 

 Fluff is that his gear is all salvaged from what ever scraps he can find but he's not the best clamavus they have but he is just nerdy keen to take it to the oppressors with his home made kit. A bit like the oriental kid from the Goonies

Just need to paint them now
