Hi, all.
First, let me state that THIS ARMY BREAKS RULES.
I took everything here for fluff purposes. It will only be played with my local group and only with permission.

We've been testing "Theme" armies, lately, and it got me interested in trying a Genestealer Cult theme army.

I'm taking Nids allied with IG.
Yes. I know. Rule breaking.

Keep in mind that this is NOT supposed to be a tough list, though I wouldn't mind some advice on toughening it up while keeping with the theme.

Nids:

HQ:
Tyranid Prime (Genestealer Patriarch)
2x Bone Swords (Bad @ss claws. LOL), Scything Talons, Adrenal Glands, Regen, Toxin Sacs

Troops:
Genestealer Brood (9x Stealers & a Brood Lord)
Stealers: Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs
BLord: Implant Attack, Aura of Despair, Hypnotic Gaze
--(Implant and Gaze were taken mostly for fluff purposes, as if he hypnotizes his victim, then implants an egg)

Genestealer Brood (9x Stealers & a Brood Lord)
Stealers: Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs
BLord: Implant Attack, Aura of Despair, Hypnotic Gaze

Genestealer Brood (9x Stealers & a Brood Lord)
Stealers: Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs
BLord: Implant Attack, Aura of Despair, Hypnotic Gaze

903 Points

IG:

HQ:
Primaris Psyker (Magus)

Ministorum Priest (Seemed appropriate to have someone to "fire up" the humans while preaching the gospel of "The Brotherhood")
-Eviscerator (he'll get 'em fired up ONE WAY or ANOTHER)

Elite:
Psyker Battle Squad (9 + Overseer) (Genestealer Hybrids)
-Chimera w/Multi Laser, Camo Netting, Dozer Blade, Ex Armor, Pintle Hvy Stubber
(I know the options aren't optimized, but I went with the "trying hard to protect the hybrids in the vehicle" idea).

Psyker Battle Squad (8 + Overseer) (Genestealer Hybrids)
-Chimera w/Multi Laser, Camo Netting, Dozer Blade, Ex Armor, Pintle Hvy Stubber
I'm thinking I'll put the Primaris in here

Ratling Squad (x4)
(Because I had extra points left LOL)

Troop:
Penal Legion Squad (9+Custodian) (Cultists w/hybrid leader or something)

Penal Legion Squad (9+Custodian) (Cultists w/hybrid leader or something)

Penal Legion Squad (9+Custodian) (Cultists w/hybrid leader or something)

Fast Attack:
Vendetta

Vendetta
(The Vendettas may hold Penal Legion Squads)

1100 Points

As you can see, I've definitely gone with a theme here. I haven't used a lot of heavy weapons or the better IG vehicles. The 2 Vendettas were the only units I added with the desire to be competitive. Even these are easily "fluffed" by saying the pilots are cult infiltrators. Those guys get into everywhere.

The whole list comes to 2003 points (we're pretty easy going with point overages of 1-3, so this won't be an issue for this list).

Thoughts?
Ideas?

Thanks for looking.
