This week I finished off an alchemist and an engineer. Any guess where the alchemist model came from?

Yo that alchemist model looks incredible. The G-cult bits worked out so well there.

I loved the design of the steam tank commander. A pity he was never available on his own

For some reason the alchemist reminds  me of 40K.  Love it! :icon_biggrin: :eusa_clap: :::cheers:::

Not come across the Biophagus before – it looks right even when you know it should be wrong – what did you do to his back - a more orthodox backpack – can we see a photo?  You just need to scrape the hands off the flask and add it to his base.

I was in a hobby store yesterday, and saw and Imperial Agents box set.

Believe I might have seen the figure used for the alchemist in there? Not certain though.

Alchemist =  Genestealer Cults Biophagus  - a luverly conversion.

To confirm what others have said, its the genestealer cult biophagus.



I've got one myself I converted to be more of an Imperial Guard/Rogue Trader mad doctor, but I really love that alchemist look and its really just a head and weapon swap. Super easy, yet so good looking.

Thanks! He also has an old Mordheim backpack. I'll share a pic when I get a chance.

This week, I painted a Scinari Calligrave and a Stormcast Knight Arcanum. Such wonderfully detailed models. Lots of fun to paint!

Thanks, all! I am nearly finished with the project. Here is an orc barbarian:



I also wanted a few Dragonborn for D&D, and these lizardmen fit the bill well:
