I am the Calvary - Cult Heavy support

As I begin to prepare for some new projects, I’m trying to finish off a few that have sat far too long. So this week I took some time to finish off another member of the Devil's Adders. 

While surveillance caught this image of the Snatcher Devil, there were no survivors to question. 

I finally finished one... or three...

I finally found a decent amount of time to paint, and completed a few miniatures. So here's to an update on my Genestealer killteam.

I still need to learn some photograph techniques...

Imperial records of the Genestealer Cult known as The Devil's Adders is very limited. Unlike other Genestealer cults, this group has only been seen in small numbers and is known to be lead by a leader only know as the Snatcher-Devil. In each appearance of  this group they have been known to use military precision to strike from the shadows, only to disappear as quickly as they arrived. A report from one incident claimed to have left the Snatcher-Devil mortally wounded. However no body was recovered, so the reoccurrence of this villain leaves that report in question. A request has been sent for an imperial investigator to look into this group further.

From Cult to Killteam

When I jumped into Warhammer 40K: Killteam I immediately knew who I wanted to play. Sure, I could pull from my very first 40K army of Eldar, or my early 2000's space marine army could send a squad; but no this had to be the genestealer cult. They never really saw battle before as stated in the previous post. Their time had finally arrived! Plus in 2018 not only was the cult back in the 40K universe, they were front and center. Heck, they even came as one of the two forces in the original Killteam starter box!

Pouring over the list, as well as my miniatures, I came up with the following:

• For a leader I'll save the points for beasts, and just have a Neophyte.
• Specialists: with their bad BS I'll go with two flamers, and a Heavy Stubber for range.
• I'd really like an Aberrant. A big beast to soak wounds and draw attention.
• I'll take two Pure-strains because why not?
• The rest will fill out with a mix of Acolytes and Neophytes. 
• They will all have code names - was never into the whole cult brother this/that. 

First up is a bunch of Neophytes: 

Disclaimer:, back when I started these guys there weren't as defined lines as to what was what. I could pull a bunch of guard I have painted in their colors as neophytes... but I'd rather field these guys.

Squad members Viper and Leach

One of my gaming group had a Crimson Fist Army back then

Viper is a plastic hybrid from Space hulk, and Leach is one of the Rogue Trader metal hybids. Both have plastic arms and metal Necromunda weapons. Viper has the addition of some imperial guard parts added to his belt and both sport a Space Marine Shoulder pad. Viper's was cut down to make it less recognizable, and had a the squad symbol carved into it. Leach's was looted from a marine (You'll see the other later).
