Could you track down some of your customers that you have previously done commissions for? I'd love to see the finished products all painted and battle-ready.
Now that’s what I imagine a genestealer ork hybrid should look like it’s sad though that in lore it doesn’t happen much due to orks being not ideal hosts
while they might not be ideal there's more lore instances of genestealer ork hybrids than for any other race besides humans (and by that I mean that there's 2... one involving a WAAAGH where the genestealer orks built a 4 armed gargant (in the codex) and one involving a group of freebooters (in a book, don't know which one, I've never read it myself, only heard about it)) it is unfortunate that there is a relative lack of both lore and tabletop rules for hybrids of anything other than humans.
Ork and Tyranid hybrids don't really tend to happen since Genestealers tend to be sneaky and cautious in order to remain undetected by the larger governing body they attempt to overthrow however, mixing this is with the usual hyper aggressive nature of the Orks means the Genestealers end up getting krump'd due to their lack of... Orky'ness. I assume the reason for lack of other Xeno Genestealers is simply due to their knowledge on the Tyranids. Many if not all of the Humans within the Imperium don't even know Tyranids exist and thus are unaware of the signs of a Tyranid invasion or a Genestealer cult rising due to this lack of information; by the time they do find out, it's often too late. The only race I would assume could be hit with Genestealers is the T'au due to their xenophile tendencies. Geanstealers modify the genetic code of whatever race they decide to host over the generations. As apposed to Humans just chalking it up to genetic diversity due to the already large amount of Human subspecies, T'au would probably welcome this change out of their religious beliefs and thus not assume something is wrong. Thinking logically however Humans are the best hosts for Genestealer cults compared to Drakari who live in the Warp, Eldar who obviously don't accept genetic diversity due to their race nearly going extinct, Orks and their aggression, Necrons being... Necrons and T'au who are probably the second best option.
@@alienstar2088 there are lore examples of Ork, Aldari, Drukhari, Eldar Exodite, and Tau all getting Genestealer Cults. the only races that don't have to deal with them at all are Necrons and Daemons. while they can't form full cults due to a lack of breeding it's been shown that Space Marines can be infected. the only playable biological race that has no lore examples of successful Genestealer Cults are the Eldar Harlequins
@@Eclipsed_Embers Whilst yes, Genestealer cults can and do happen to other races besides Humans, they don't end up turning out well for the cults nor do they make really any real impact.
Absolutely love the creation, would not mind seeing more. I'm pretty disappointed your videos seem to be getting shorter from all the footage missed. Would REALLY love to see more
I feel like he could have used some vestigial arms popping out of him from the front, those pockets in the chest flesh would have made for interesting spots for them. Still a great job on it though. I'd love to see this painted up.
I've seen a few of your conversions, and I have to say this is my favorite one so far, though I encountered it randomly. It has a very good dynamic pose and I'm a big fan of boy orcs and tyranids.
Ooo I got a suggestion for some big ork grunts for your giant orks to boss over take 2 sets of 3 bullgryns and convert them their armor their cannon gauntlets and their shields to be ork like
Genestealer Orks exist. They were introduced in Rogue Trader, there just aren't many because the Orks can feel their unorky energy and krump 'em before the cult can expand.
Genestealer Greenskin hybrids - IE 'Green Brood' - are absolutely a thing in the lore. The Octarius sector is (was) asbolutely infested with them, the Imperium has clashed with several large-scale GS-Ork cults in the lore, and they used to have their own lineup of miniatures.
@@RozzCraft while Genestealer Orks do exist they don't end up having tyranid guns or anything (sometimes they get tyranid melee weapons but never the guns and even when they get the melee weapons it's more the exception than the rule). ultimately the concept of a Genestealer Ork works but the model in the video doesn't
I dont think genestealers can infect orks? Or at least it wouldnt be v practical. Either way looks as fuck so i give just as many shits as vulkan did for that eldar kid

you're right that Genestealer Orks aren't really practical (since Orks only reproduce by dying and uninfected orks kill the infected and the hybrids for being "un-orky") but they definitely can still exist, based on the Genestealer Cult codices since 7th edition the only races that the Genestealers can't infect are Daemons (though some Genestealer Cults do end up worshipping chaos, there is at least one instance in lore of a Genestealer Cult of Nurgle) and Necrons. there are even cases of Space Marines getting infected (though since Space Marines can't breed they can't form Genestealer Cults or Genestealer Hybrids)
