"Genestealer Cults Ally in the exact same way as Tyranids, as described in the Allies section of Warhammer 40,000: The Rules"

well could they have made this more confusing it they tried?

option 1: just like tyranids they basically can't ally with anybody

option 2 (what i'd guess is the intent): they can ally with tyranids

My less emotive response is this too, 'just like tyranids' is ambiguous

Come t think of it, the current WD mentions about using them with Nids, so this is just a confusing way of saying that.

I have just finished assembling my cult and they are simply glorious. At this stage I am spent with GW - there is nothing that beat the pinnacle of glory am I sat atop now that GSC have been released.

A nice thing to note is that the 3rd and 4th gen guys are the best 'normal human' minis out there and have massive conversion potential when they eventually release stand alone boxes. Tempestus Scion heads fit on to them really nicely too so creating a bit of variation in the cult will be easy.

Can anyone with Overkill and Calth say if the tiles match up in any way? Would make for some more interesting scenarios (and LOS-blocking!)

Not at all, BaC is heaxagonal 'zones/ on tiles that tessellate as hexagons.

DW:O has A4ish size tiles with rectangular zones

In case anyone is wondering about the potential for playing about with the minis a bit (specifically the GSC as they are clearly the most important)

A Tempestus Scion head on a 3rd gen (the beret heads look pretty good too)



The best stealer head around (need to get myself some more) on a hybrid body
