The Void Calls - Genestealer Cult Codex Incoming?

Recommended Posts

There was an old Citadel Journal back when GW was more interested in games and such that contained rules for a Genestealer Cult. It was pretty entertaining, and not really competitive. They had an Armored Limousine that Genestealers could ride around in, and I want to say about a half dozen unit entries. The rules on Infestation of a Hive was pretty entertaining too.  

 

Sadly, I don't see this happening unless they bring back Necromunda.

I remember that one... pimp my ride - genestealer edition!

Would be really neat to get a faction that could ally to both imperial and tyranid armies, without going come the apocalypse. Just something to bridge the gap, so new players don't feel they need to fully commit to bugs.

Master Sheol - B&C

The things out this week...

CODEX GENESTEALERS CULT
- 104 pages
- background about various Genestealer Cults across the Imperium
- full army list with rules for all units including elements from the Astra Militarum.
- 6 new Tactical Objectives
- 8 new Formations
- new wargear
- new psychic school "Broodmind" (7 new powers)
- Uniform Guide that shows colors and uniforms of a selection of cults.

Codex (33€) - the Price is for italian softcover codex... UK hardcover should be the usual 30£ -
Datacards (10,50€)
Dice set (16,50€)
How to Paint Guide (8€)

GENESTEALERS CULT acolytes/metamorphs 5 models (33€)
GENESTEALERS CULT neophytes 10 models (33€)

Legends of dark Millennium : GENESTEALERS Black Library (15€)

The font i found had already these names for the boxrs...
I guess the neophytes are the hybrids and the matamorphs are the aberrhants from Overkill but i will be happy if there will be new units in the codex...

The preview list Using the Overkill models has the Patriarch, the Magus and the Alpha Hybrid all having the HQ Battlefield role...
I don't think the GAC codex won't have HQ

So GW will give us a fringe army that existed only in Necromunda and a list in the old Citidel Magazine, but not Sisters of Battle? Thumbs up GW. What's next? Squats?

 

I rank this right up there with Militarum Tempestus for a codex that came out of nowhere and that only a few people wanted.

 

What is this codex going to be? It's going to be Imperial Guard (or Astra Militarum if you prefer) with Genestealers. Bleh! I can't wait to see a Leman Russ tank with a Genestealer sitting in the turret. Bonus Kudo's to the players that convert all their Chimera's into Armored Hover Limousines.
