Genestealer Cult Limo

So, in the comments section of the last post, Merijn asked if I had a limo for the genestealer cult. Good point. Every self-respecting old-school GSC has a ridiculous armoured limousine. So, I dug my old limo out and gave it an upgrade or two.

It's based on a Hispano-Suiza MC-36 armoured car from the Spanish Civil War, which has to be one of the meanest-looking vehicles ever. I added parts from a variety of sources: ork cannons, a taurox turret, and a pulpit made from a High Elf chariot. But enough from me. Let's hear from the manufacturers.

 As the leader of an entirely legitimate religious movement*, you know how important it is to travel in style. Whether you're going to a meeting with the Patriarch, denouncing your rivals to a baying crowd, or just passing yourself off as a human being, it's vital to look the part. You're a "man" of taste: you know that a converted mining vehicle that looks like a Tonka toy just isn't enough.

Here at Cultech Customs, we're on your side. Built around the classic Dominator chassis, our new Firebrand armoured limousine offers a perfect blend of armour and finesse. With the ability to run off promethium and power cells, the engine is just like you - a powerful hybrid. At last, you can own a car whose physical perfection is matched only by its hostility.




It's a dangerous world out there, and the Firebrand has your hunched, ridgy back. When the autoguns start shooting, our plate armour's got you covered - literally. Electro-conductive running boards guarantee that, when Slaaneshi cultists try to fornicate with your wheels, you can get them off quickly (not like that). Plus, they glow purple.






And as for weapons, the Firebrand is like all your best friends - it's got lots of arms. Twin front-mounted autocannons guarantee that you won't be stuck in traffic for long. If that's not enough, why not check out our gatling turret: it's the last word in self-defence, provided that word is "bullets". 





Alternatively, why do all the hard work yourself, when you can tell your minions to do it for you? A fully-equipped travel-pulpit gives you the option of whipping the masses into a frenzied rage on the go. Just pop the sunroof, enjoy a quick rant and be on your way.





The new Cultech Firebrand - the choice of a (fourth) generation.

 

Pure class. Pure style. Purestrain.



* We have been asked by High Magus Elron the Litigious to stress that the Genestealer Cult is not a cult.

  1. This is pure genius. I know the original vehicle and it's clearly the very best option in the world to build a Genestealer Cult Limo. But not only that, the additions and options make this piece simply perfect. Both the turret and the pulpit are incredible choices. Congratulations!

    1. Thanks! It's really the only option for an armoured space limo. It just looks so cool. I wasn't sure about the roof options but I've come to like them!

  2. Love it! Do the turret and pulpit sit on top or are they held on with magic (magnets)?

    1. Cheers! The turret and pulpit are both magnetised. I don't often use magnets but I was pleased with the results. I might try this more often.

    1. Thank you! I'm glad the photos turned out better too. I used a background drawing (obviously) which seems to have helped greatly. Perhaps darker backgrounds are the way to go?
