There will be genestealer-ork, genestealer-tau, and genestealer-daemon hybrids.

Mining Colony based Genestealer hybrids will get laid off due to the Imperium going "Green." They will go back to their trailer homes and begin a decades long drinking binge.

THEN, an Imperial Inquisitor will uncover the "Green Movement" is actually an Ork plot for Galactic domination. The mines will reopen.

Except, Necrons will provide "robot" workers at low costs. Genestealer hybrids will take Community College classes, and start promising careers in IT.

47-Just in! 4 special characters for the Genestealer cult! A charismatic singer who dresses as a demon, a redheaded female psyker, a young tech-adept specializing in reviving dead tissue and a corrupt Arbitor who rules a small settlement with an iron fist.

GSC Fluff will include mention of a terrible event where patriarchs and broodlords bathe in the blood of some Battle Sisters sent to fight them. It'll give them special powers.

Cult Knights will also be a thing.

The Genestealer 1st & 2nd gen cultists themselves will cost 6 points each with the statline from the WD issue while lacking a basic close combat weapon.

They can purchase a basic close combat weapon for 1 pt each, which is taken in addition to their rending claws and autopistol and therefore offering no benefit.

The Core Detachment of their decurion will for them to buy this upgrade, while also making these additional close combat weapons Rend on a 5+ if they chose to use them over the Rending claws.


All the Formstions will have a mirrored version of the Deathwatch's Kill Team rule where every Genestealer Cultist in the Formation is treated as a separate unit for all rules purposes. At least 3 of them will require at least 40 models to run base. One of them however will require 3 units that all start as 10 man strong but have a Formation restriction copy-pasted from the Deathwatch book that requires a maximum of 10 models.

Preview art!

The entire model line for Genestealer Cults will just be reboxed Imperial Guard kits. The Guardsman will have purple skin on the boxes. There will be no new models.

AOS style, as long as the GS cult player repeats "One of us, one of us. Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble, One of us, one of us. Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble" all of their opponents infantry units are controlled by them.

I don't get it. Hebert West Re-animator doesn't have "gene" in it.

Tell me if I'm doing this right.

Before executing an action, you must say that you are absolutely, completely, utterly, perfectly, entirely, horrifically, killyourplanetically certain that you are going to do it. Then you do it.

Genestealer Cult VS Orks will always give a victory to the Genestealer Cult

Blood Brother Special rule will allow GSC to use any vehicle, walker, or dreadnaught from any Imperium of Man codex, for an additional 50 points.

GeneStealer Cult will get to hack Ork/SM Dreadnoughts and ride around in custom GK Dreadknight babysuits

Gene Simmons, Jean Grey, Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein) and Gene Hackman

GSC will get two flyers and an APC.

One flyer is a dropship armed with four missile launchers; it can carry the APC.

The APC has a twin-linked autocannon turret that can be stored for passing into narrow corridors and Atmospheric Processors.

The other flyer is a transport that allows you to abduct enemy troops; it is flown by a wheelchair-bound mercenary GS cultist. If the hostage-laden transport enters ongoing reserves, it returns with squads of genestealers.

A new special character called "Patriarch Trump" will make 'Stealer Cults great again!

Fear not, Gene Roddenberry will be produced in finecast by FW.

Dakka needs an upside-down font.

The sprues will be packed in glitter with flashing lights on the boxes that have limited edition holograms projected from inside when you open them.

Also GW will begin a monthly loot-crate like service and sue LootCrate because all GW ideas are original. However they only contain one jeans-stealer figure but it will be missing an arm or some other piece thereby allowing you to experience Gw's first rate customer service first hand.

For +10 pts per pure bred in your army you can replace a hero or sergeant in the the opponents army with a genestealer to represent the spread of the infestation.
For +20 replace a LoW.

Y'know, that would be cute if GW did a Loot Crate-like service. A miniature, brush and pot of paint, some decals and a booklet, all for $19.95 a month.

Oh wait...White Dwarf -

I see what you did there

GSC get a Land Raider sized transport vehicle that Tunnels under ground, allowing it to go into ongoing reserves and Deepstrike back onto the board. If it hits an enemy unit when Deepstriking, the enemy unit is moved and takes 2d6 S6 AP2 hits. Transport Capacity 20, no guns, AV 14 all around.

The first release of GSC big box sets will contain a special limited edition stealer-mutation third arm for the player to ware and roll all their most critical dice rolls with for extra luck.

Stealers now have one attack for each arm, and can puchase more at +5 per max of 4 additional....

Genestealers will continue the trend of some codices having no relics as they were gifted to the Blood Ravens for their new codex coming out sometime soon in place of another codex's update.
