Dataslates are leaked onto the inter webs. Take a look for the special rules. Basic strategy is to get close and assault. Everyone is fearless, has rending claws, can infiltrate, AND almost everyone can Hit and Run. The cult all has assault grenades to attack those units with their toes in terrain. Hopefully the brood lords can pin whom ever they are trying to charge. The Genestealers infiltrate into building and ruins upto 6" away ready to charge. Ghosar and his purestrains infiltrate upto 1" away for the first turn charge. The brothers aberrant go find nice high AV armor or MC/GMC to charge and hammer to death. The Magus hangs out with the faithful throng and holds the center of the board shooting at things. Vorgan attaches with the favored Diciples hunts down the death star, terminators, and the like. Brood lords get their single Tyranid power and ML1 each. Ghosar and the Megus each get two rolls on telepathy to get something nice like invisibility or shrouded for a total of 9 warp charges for this list. It's fluffy, almost all assault, but can be brutal against armies not prepared for a melee opponent. If tyranids and the genestealer cult are battle brothers, the IC can jump around as needed to throw low AP melee around, a force staff for some ID attacks, and overall psychic support. Thoughts?

It's nice. I think it's time for me to start a new army soon...!

Is the "Manufactorum Genestealers" another formation?
I have not played my Tyranids/Genestealers for some time...

We usually play 1850 points, so i can easily combine this with a small genestealer/tyranid detachment that can focus on some extra cheap objective secured troops and a few dangerous 2nd wave assault models/units.

It is a formation from the 'Tyranid Vanguard Rising Leviathan' dataslate. I suspect that this will be a 'benchmark' build for the Broodkin, at least until they get some transports or other options. It looks fun and fluffy.
