The list consists of 3 formations, 100% of which can infiltrate. I'll put the formation bonuses by the side of the formation name so you get the best idea of what I'm trying to do.

Deathleapers Assassin Brood. Every Lictor is a single model unit. Each model has a 12'' bubble of -1 leadership for enemies which doesn't stack with each other. Gains preferred enemy (characters)

total. 1500pts.

The idea being I can deploy everything in your deployment zone, almost everything has rending and an ok cover save. I also have some quite effective leadership shenanigans between It's After Me (Deathleaper picks a character, including sargents, they suffer -D3 leadership all game), the Lictor bubble, The Horror (Pinning test at -2) and Telepathy psykers. Perhaps I should ditch the Manufactorum brood and get a tyranid CAD but I'm adament on not wanting a Flyrant and the Warrior Prime seems like a massive points sink, but on the other hand I could get the Children of Cryptus which are a good Stealer unit. Perhaps take the Broodlord hunting pack for bigger units but then I only get a single Broodlord.

Wow, never seen a proper list with a genestealer cult in it before! I think you'll have a damn fun game, whilst your opponent panics like crazy at all the infiltrating melee horrors before him. Just be careful, as if genestealers do get a lot of guns pointed in their directions, 5+ armour and toughness 4 isn't going to stop a huge amount.

Please tell me how it goes, I really want to hear how the list fares!

I've got a game against Imperial Guard (mixture of Mech + infantry) this weekend, I'll keep you updated. Whatever happens it'll be a fun game!

Which do you think is better, toxic sacs for a Broodlord or Adrenal Glands for 5 Stealers? Toxin Sacs allows the Broodlord to re-roll to wound vs T4 or lower, meaning more rends. That means with her Godly stat-line he reamins a threat even after his Stealers have disintegrated around him. But Adrenal Glands allow all the Stealers that make combat wound T4 on 3's against Marines and has additional synergy with the formation Hit'n'run bonus.
