This looks so cool! I love the way the canisters can be swapped for bolters. Good work on the wheel caps - their grimy, uneven look contrasts nicely with the plating. Keep it up!

Some good considerations about the colors used. Perhaps you could take up the highlights a bit on the hybrids, somewhere hearer human flesh - would make them look even more diffrent from the "old" and very well known genestealer purple skin color.

I would suggest two things to make a stronger connection between Hybrids and Purestrains (by pushing the Hybrids closer to the Purestrains): Firstly, try to make the Hybrid's gills green like the Purestrain - I think that will bridge the gap nicely and stille work colourswise. Secondly, you could experiment with small purple dots in the colour of the Purestrains. On my own Tyranids, I've use dots at the base of the skull and the top of the limbs to break otherwise very clean, monochromatic areas and make the minis look more organic. Here's an example of what I did (though not on a Genestealer, but I hope you catch my drift):

I like the Acolyte. Looks nice. I do have trouble myself tying hybrids and purestrains together. I've considered two approaches for mine, although I have yet to paint a test model. 1. You have a purestrain and a human/4th gen on the extreme ends of the spectrum. 'Simply' (which I am convinced it not simple at all...) try to work the Genestealer color into the skin color you use for the humanish models. In your case, the darker pinkinsh purplish skin would be a closer intermediate between normal skin and a dark red or purple Genestealer. To get to a gray skin color, you'd have to take some warmth out of the human skin and give it a darker, more grayish appearance. And all that without abandoning the human skin tone entirely. 2. You could hybridize the model by segmentation. Have the torso or just the back of the torso in Genestealer color (not that you can see it under their clothes, have the lower arms and legs in human skin color and use the upper arms and legs to blend the two together. Those are my thoughts. Not sure if any of that works as I imagine, though.

Very nice. Yes, close-ups are indeed something one has to get used to. I like to use them to see faults with my sculpting, but sometimes it's outright weird that there are things that even if I know they're there, I still can't see them with the naked eye. It's why I think that as nice as it is to have pictures, nothing beats the experience of physically seeing a model.

Quick and dirty is quite perfect for scenery I think. Lovely looking stuff.

I my motivation for working with terrain allowed me to do only half of your 'quick and dirty'...

I kind of like the look you have achieved on the hybrids. I think the colors complement each other quite well. The one point where you could make them pop a bit more, fairly easy, it the depth of the skin color. I'd suggest you give them a highlight of a very bright color followed by a wash - this should give you a lot more depth in a few simple steps. If I should choose my self I'd try with a gentle drybrush of pale wyrd flesh followed by a wash of ogryn flesh wash - perhaps even rehighlighted with the wyrd flesh.
