Ork Genestealers! Kitbashing a rare hybrid.

- Ork Tyranid Hybrid, a kitbash I wanted to do since my Space Marines Genestealers. While making a Tyranid weapon for my Age of Sigmar Ork, I got inspired to make him into a full hybrid. Afterwards I go on a journey of painting him.

Old Lore: "Sometimes, albeit rarely, a Genestealer-Ork hybrid brood grows and prospers. Genestealer broods are usually only successful once a breeding community of Feral Orks has been infected, and the Genestealer genetic curse will integrate itself into any reproductive spores shed by those Orks. If a "civilised", technologically-advanced Greenskin community is infected it has a catalytic effect on the Ork breeding urge and Ork hybrids will develop from Ork spores eventually, but usually the Genestealer incursion among the Orks simply dies out. "

The lore reason why jeans stealers and tyrranids rarely manage to properly infiltrate the orks is because the other orks will notice that a "git" is acting weird and will "crump 'em real good", thus extinguishing the threat before it even became one. Gork and Mork truly work in divine but mysterious ways.
Yeah, in theory, that's why humans are the most common. Massive hive worlds and mining planets are easy to get lost in and are already full of mutants. For Orks, space hulks have provided a few good examples where they get converted, besides the targeted jeanstealer infestation that Inquisitor Kryptman attempted on some of those unfortunate Orks. Most interesting are a few examples of Eldar being corrupted, something I want to attempt sometime later.
Thats why Orkstealers can thrive as Freebooterz since those orks are all outcasts anyways. Theres an entire Freebooter crew of genestealers called the "green brood"
@@crabbyink9849 'Green Brood' 😄 That's awesome
There's actually a story that features infected orks. They were a raiding party or whatever that hit a derelict hulk that was already carrying some stealers. They get infected and without getting crumped they basically became far more intelligent and rational under the Patriarch. Essentially taking control of an entire system and smuggling / transporting stealer DNA to a whole bunch of worlds.
It's genuinely really cool.
@boanoah6362 That's really interesting. When I was looking them up, I did wonder if they would be able to benefit from the guidance of a patriarch and be more sophisticated in their tactics. Another thought that crossed my mind was whether they would still be able to benefit from the Waaagh! field that allows Ork technology to work.
funfact about the rippers, they were made using ork DNA and when the orks first came across the early stages of rippers their ork psychic link recognized them as "orky" and took them. That is the origin of the squig in 40k.
That's awesome. I love those old bits of lore that connected tyranids to a lot of other units.
This is old lore, nowadays they are considered to be created by the brainboyz
Personally I would have made the worm looking thing red instead of green to invoke the idea that it's a gene Steeler squig of sorts
Didn't make the connection at the time, but that would have been a cool little addition.
@@AnotherDayMiniatures fair
What a swell video of ups and downs that not many youtubers show for their painting process. Very nice
Cheers! All the repainting felt like an important part of how it got there, though at one point I did consider just stripping the paint and starting over 😅
I love the result! And thank you for talking us through all the highs and the lows of the process
Cheers! 😃
Imagine how cool Ghaz hive tyrant would be
It would be glorious!
Now do the reverse. Try orking up a Tyranid model :)
O! That's a pretty fun idea, it would look a bit ridiculous, but in a good orky way.
LOOTED CARNIFEX
@garlikkt6028 Tempting, I need to accumulate some additional Ork bits.
Just look at the old Biovore
Make it a propa Bad Moonz git wit all da dakka an’ shiny gubbinz
love the intensity of this model
Thanks!
The White Dwarf magazine issue 468 (page 97, I think) has some official tips for kitbashing Ork-Genestealers.
I really like your Ork Hybrid, it is a great source of inspiration! I did some Hybrids in the past, using Acolyte Hybrids mixed with classic Ork Boyz. Aberrants also work really well as a base model since they have similar proportions to Orks. I hope you will do some more conversions like that in the future!
Your hybrids sound awesome, the aberants kit is really great. I wish it had a few extra models or some more bits in it through. I hopefully should, always a blast making a hybrid. Cheers!
Your painting has improved massively since the start! Love your work man
Thanks mate! Glad the improvement is noticeable :D
Absolutely awesome. He looks propa killy! Fantastic job mate 🙏😃
Cheers mate! :D
Tyranork
Very cool paintjob. Love the kitbash. Well done.
Cheers!
The Nurgle colours are coming to life on your palette
I think of Nurgle any time I use green paints that are in that hue. "Well I guess it's secretly a Nurgle model". 😄
This is a work of art. It looks so cool. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Interesting concept, nicely executed. Good stuff!
Thank you
if a full on fleet of ork and tyranid hybrid happened....its gonna be hell trying to fight something that can be recreated as long as 1 member of the species is alive, have reality warping powers, and be damn near impossible to exterminate due to ork spores..... good damn luck
I tried doing this about 2 and half year ago but didn't turn out well but after seeing this video I think I might give it a second try
Hell yeah! 😃🤘
The only reason you cold see this purple Ork is because he stopped believing. No technology can unveiled a purple ork :D
The companion is a nice touch
:D
Beautiful piece of work ☺☺
Thank you!
I think that this bug boy looks very nice!
Thanks!
The guy is pretty cool
Thanks!
"I AM 200 TIMES MORE SMARTA! MORE BETTA! I AM BETTA!"
WITH MORE ARMS
I did an ork riding a carnifex kit bash about 13 years ago might have to have a repaint soon!
That sounds propa awesome!
More ork kitbashes please
I plan on it! With Orks, it's just a bit more challenging for me. However, I'd like to have a go at some 'looted' stuff eventually.
I like the idea of Ork, genestealer hybrids looking similar to tyranid BIOVORE because they produce Spore-mines.
Yeah in the old lore they were result of tyranids absorbing ork dna. It was really cool to have many tyranid units linked to existing factions in 40k.
Xenos genestealer hybrids are always a fun conversion, I've seen a bunch of guard based Gue'vesa conversions for the Tau but basing some off of a Genestealer kit could both make for an interesting kitbash and show the dangers of fraternizing with xenos scum. I really loved that initial purple base for the orc flesh, I think with a few more iterations you could have something very specal there. Also I think your initial issue with your purple contrast paint might have just been because you were trying to go over something too dark or with too much yellow in it.
They really are. Genestealer Cults make for a lot of really cool conversions, I made a few Chaos and Mechanicum proxies from them. The biggest issue I had with contrast paint was that it wasn't enough to cover the texture I made on the skin. I think if I had covered it a bit first and then applied the contrast paint, it might have worked better.
it is kinda sad we don't get these guys
It would be cool to get some rules for them.
Quite a random idea but I love it, I had this one idea of a nurgle corrupt tyranid, granted it wouldn't make sense because of the hive mind it still sounds like a cool idea
Cheers! :D I think there is a way it could make sense, there are many tyranids who are 'feral' and lost connection to the hive mind. Many creatures on Catachan are heavily hinted as being such feral tyranids.
@@AnotherDayMiniatures interesting
Take a look at the new malstrain models coming out! They're really creepy and would take very little to Nurgify
@@TheTronmon The necromunda team has been doing some amazing things lately.
Well that's not even so much a scythe as a war pick, a bec de corbin, and those were perpendicular to the shaft.
Personally can't see it
Slight issue when you start painting when you turn the ork purple, he just disappears.
Great video.
😄 Cheers! You just need to use the toaster....I mean the dark age technology.
Hiw would you guys go about making a playfield that takes place on the inside of a spacehulk that git infected by nurgle deamons ?
That's a really cool idea. For me it would be a large amount of organic looking tumors everywhere, spreading their corruption to the walls around them.
A Screamer killer carnifex x a triarch stalker *biocron* is an idea I have been floating I'm me mind but I can't justify it with me buget, idk if you can but I think you'd make it great
That sounds super awesome, unfortunately also a bit out of my budget, perhaps one day. Were you thinking of using the stalker for the lower half and screamer for the upper, or replacing the screamkiller claws with necrons ?
The Claw way to begin with. I have some extra necron wraith faceplates that could replace the eyes. And I think I could find a way to robot up the nid-back chimneys and hoofs. Sme scarab climbing around would tie it together well. Is a Bio-C'tan working for the silent king or something idk lore yet
That would look like an incredible centerpiece for the army. Could have it be some strange thing Trazyn requested for his collection.
Purple orks!
The legends of purple orks have been real all along! :D
ah yes the orkstealer
😄
Here under 2 hours squad
😃🤘
Cool bash but does not sell it as a gene stealer orc. Just feels like an orc decked out with gear made out of tyranids
I suppose if you remove the extra arms, I could see it having a look of that.
@@AnotherDayMiniatures exactly. But looking at this again I remembered that gene stealers often don’t look too alien to the species they are infesting. I guess I commented this expecting it to be more alien like a tyranid haha.
So my original comment is actually in the wrong.
Jeanstealers go through "generations" where each one starts from base race and slowly transitions to full blown tyranid. You were probably thinking of one of the later generations where it's almost a pure strain tyranid. Not wrong just different idea, cheers mate!
Lmao get yourself some Tamiya nippers
Nobody got money for that :D
Cus dey smell weird, innit?!
Oi! You talkin bout me boyz?!
looks more like an orc just wearing tyranid armour ....... poor effort
It's very low effort, basically made it in my sleep 😎
You should read the New Devourer chapter from the Warhammer fanfic "Warhammer 50k: the Shape of the Nightmare to Come", the prequel of "Warhammer 60k: Age of Dusk".
I'll try and take a look.
Orkronz. Orkanidz. Orkrootz. No mattah wot youz make, Orkz iz best da best fer kitbashin!
😄🤘
