Well as the title say i'm looking for some people to help out with a project (i seem to have too many now.. )

Basically its the revival of Genestealer Cults list. It's always been one of my favourite things about 40k ever since i got a box of Space Crusade all them years ago!

With that i'd like to look into creating a project aimed at putting some meat on the bones of the cult list.

Just so people know where my head is to designing this list heres a brief

Designer's Notes: The Focus of the this list is to create more than previous incarnations of the Genestealer Cults have been, These lackluster list consisted of Imperial Guard and a hand full of uninspiring Genestealer units thrown in the mix.

(You will need the Imperial Guard Codex (5th edition) and the Tyranid Codex (5th Edtion) to play this list. )

The focused design elements of the list are as follows:

- The flexibility of hybrid generations and inherited abilities
- Heavily psychic nature of the brood
- Low tech human weaponry - no Plasma/Melta etc
- Gang like human elements
- Swarm units

The list is designed to play the brood in many stages of the cults life cycles - able to play as an all out elite list of Hybirds and purestrains, an almost straight up cult/gang list with the true nature of the Gene Cult yet to show fruit or course playing a mixed list for a more balanced option. Each list type should bring its own pros and cons.

The designed 'holes' in the army are a lack of heavy mech and high grade weapons. Creating a reliance for psychic abilities to take out or impede tough targets. These are intended - No Leman Russ' or high cal weaponry - the cults nature would mean such things would be hard to come by and impossible to maintain and supply to a working level without putting unwanted attention on to the cult. This is NOT an Imperial Army. It’s a militant gang at best.





So i've set up a google doc with the current list ver1.0 for you all to have a look at. It's a first draft broad brush storke approach and most of the costings are just ball park markers.

hope this is of interest to people as a project and we can get the ball rolling.

oh yeah and i've started doodling too to get the juices going
