I am in the middle do preparing a Rogue Trader Campaign for my missus and me to play soon and have been busy expanding my Genestealer cult to represent the baddies! In light of this I have just painted these two hybrids from the 1990 Genestealer expansion for Space Hulk! Ugly models, but I hope my paint job has done them a bit of justice. There is a full post about them on my blog:

That is one interesting looking hybrid! There was not enough love throughout the editions for hybrid genestealers and the original chaos cultists. I'm mean the fallen little people of the Imperium, low on equipment, disposable foot soldiers, big on numbers, tainted, insane fanatics nibbling at the borders of civilised space... Throw a pile on the table and watch them soak up the hits!
I know, they're weird, unrefined sculpts... But they have grown on me over the years!!
I love the idea of these cheap horde armies where flicks of worthless peasants are hooded towards the guns of the for by their uncaring masters! You're right that these armies didn't ever get enough love over the years, but I think second edition probably achieved it better than most!!
