The title kind of says it all: Can Genestealer Cult use Cult Ambush and Return to the Shadows army special rules in games of Kill Team. If there is no official answer in an errata / FAQ, should they be able too? I know kill team squashes a few Army Special rules already, like Champion of Chaos for CSM and Mob Rule for Orcs. Do the GC Army Special Rules seem too much for a game of Kill Team?

Personally, I have been playing without using the army rules. I prefer to error on the side of handicapping myself.

No. Kill team specifically states that units can only infiltrate our outflank in KT games and GC's rules are done instead of infiltrating so would break the rules.

It really depends on the rules in question.

The Mob Rule and the Brotherhood of Psykers usually are dropped because they would act very weirdly or be broken (positively or negatively) in the unique nature that "Every Man For Himself" provides for the game. So ask yourself some basic questions regarding these rules.

For Cult Ambush, for example, are you allowed to put models in Reserve or Infiltrate them in a Kill Team game? If yes, then you should be fine. If no, then no, you will not.

For Return to the Shadows, does its rule interactions interfere with or deal with any other interactions that Kill Team already denies? I am not familiar with the rule, but it sounds like it deals with Ongoing Reserves. Does Kill Team address anything on Ongoing Reserves?
