Clamavus kitbashed - Have you heard the word.

My final kitbashed character for the narrative campaign is this guy. A clamavus. 

Now. I still don't have the Genestealer codex and may pick it up when the updated one drops. So Other than the info on the rules app so I needed a bit more info from the wiki

"A Clamavus is a fourth generation Genestealer hybrid who serves as the primary propagandist of a Genestealer Cult, spreading its religious message to the populace through planetary communication networks in an attempt to gain political support.

The Clamavus is also responsible for carrying out the cult's strategy of information warfare against the planetary authorities, interfering with existing communication networks to create confusion and panic once the cult's uprising begins.

Clamavuses possess psychic powers that allow them to tap into the Tyranid Hive Mind and weaponise their audio broadcasts to the point that they can become another lethal weapon in the arsenal of the cult."

As this guy was going to be made out of my bits box I didn't want him to be the chief clamavus of the cult but the understudy and tech support guy. Thus despendable. He's the guy who goes out to screw with the widgets out in the communication systems of the oppressors. His kit is scratch built but as good as anything purpose built the cult might have got its hands on. He's going to be a weird nerdy guys no one likes but is too useful to drown in the sewer pipe. A menace to the enemy with his tech skills he can manipulate broadcasts and make it sound like the governor is a half wit stealing from the people while he is on the vox. 
 As per the conversion blog entry this guy was made using the spare bodies from the neophyte get bodged onto legs from a spare sprue of cadian guard. The staff was from the Grey Knights with a searchlight plonked on top. 
Names Jeff..... no I mean Jerec Seifer. (from the Kill team manual.) 
From two feet away the paint job doesn't look too bad from the photos it looks like I am going to have to go back and try again
Here is the final group altogether.
