Starting off with the first of my GSC Neophyte guardsmen. They're fluffed in my head as the contracted security force for the mines/industrial sectors where the rest of the Cult lives. The rest of the cult will get the 4-armed emperor scheme, more or less.

Any thoughts or tips?

I like the scheme. The weathered stripe on the shoulder pad is cool. I think I'd maybe try to highlight the grey a bit more but it looks pretty nice as it is. How are you gonna paint the more severely mutated guys?

Paint looks very good but you could crop your photos more. I'd also base your dudes a little more forward.

Thanks! I see what you mean about the grey highlight, my ulthuan grey went all chalky and made getting consistent highlights a bit wonky.

The more mutated dudes will get a scheme closer to the box art, but with the same teal/green instead of blue fatigues

It was a quick crop job, but at least it's under a mb haha

I had originally planned on rebasing them all with sector imperialis bases I painted up, but I think I'll dedicate those to the other neophyte models.

Reposting to answer a question for user from the last thread.

The Torso and arms and just Cadian
Head is Skitarii Vanguard
The Legs are from Victoria Miniatures: victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/greatcoat-legs-mk1-x5-male

The backpack is green stuff, styrene tube, cadian bits, and pewter cast guitar wire from Dragon Forge because it is so much easier to work with.

Very nice, did you freehand the designs on the armor?

Worn 'n scratched, or thick and rusty?

Made a little collage of my current wips to save spamming the thread with all my shit.

I'm not sure whether I should paint the shoulders of the warriors to match the theme or just leave them a dirty silver. I was originally going for a basic pint job for them hence the very minimal colours.
