I would buy a couple of boxes for lovely new 'stealer cults in a heartbeat.

The GS cult was my favourite army back in second edition. I believe GW could do some fantastic models of Patriarch, Magus and hybrids.

Plus FW could do a limo range! Haha

Well they simply threw some very elderly Chaos models in with the nice new plastic assassins for FE.

A lot of folks weren't particularly impressed by that.

Good GS cultists and Deathwatch is pretty much an automatic purchase for me.

Two boxes if I can use them to start off 40K armies.

On the wishlisting front what are you guys hoping for?
Patriarch, different generation hyrids, new stealers, a magos and maybe a new creation or?

A new Patriarch and Magus. Cool looking hybrid genestealers.

Hoping that Stealers get to kick arse and take names in CC.

@Talys: Ah....that brings back memories. I think of all the armies I have played I still love GSC the best. My hybrids couldn't hit the broad side of a barn but I loved playing the army nonetheless.

The fluff also mentioned the possibility of a daemon-possessed Patriarch.

There was a full Chaos Genestealer Cult Army list in White Dwarf. Your Patriarch could be possessed by all sorts of daemons.

Throws money at screen.

If the Hybrids are as cool as the art hints at these could be very good.

Those are friggin' fantastic. Thanks for posting them.

I have to have this now!

Go 'stealers!

Is...is...there a Patriarch....?

I think the Sword-choppy guy with the Magus is the Patriarch...?

In the original fluff the Patriarch was the oldest Genestealer of the original infestation, grown corpulent of the devotion of his progeny.

Imagine if a modern era Broodlord had made it to retirement age and got out of shape. Taken up locall politics, etc.

The Marine figures are very nice. I look forward to watching them die at the hands of the Brotherhood... muhahahahaah

Patriarch is awesomeness.

I am hoping for a mini-Dex that allows pure GSC armies in 40k! If the WD has that I will be very pleased!

First we have Tau players wanting our Guard formations for Gue'vasa and now we have Genestealer Cults doing the same thing.

Great. Just great. I fully expect the next Guard book to be even worse because of that.

GSC had 'Brood Brothers' aka PDF aka IG (aka AM) twenty odd years ago...
