1st attempt at Genestealers Cult,
Guess I need some more pew pew,
Don't think ill be going first ether.
CC would be amazing, happy for just some straight C

Looks like a fun list. I agree that you lack enough pew-pew...maybe use some Cavalcade cultists? Use them to place on table in cover, then try Ambuses for the next three turns. I think you could be able to win games.

Which units are you planning to ambush with? 140 point acolytes with t3 and 5+ is damn squishy

The Purestrains maybe?

I suspect that the Patriarch x2, Primus, 3 units of genestealer and abbarants go for the Cult ambush. Then you deploy 5 units of t3 10 models, a leman russ and magus. Feels like the opponent can outshoot this while keeping a good bubblewrap on his more valuable units so when the good stuff comes in from ambush they wont be able to get to the juicy targets. But just thinking, would love to hear how it goes on the table
