Hey guys, my friend is fairly new to 40k and has only really played Wolves and is looking to try something else, and wants to try Genestealer Cults. I’m going to play an introduction game of sorts, (sort of, he’s played wolves, but hasn’t done anything else and is still very new). I’m not using stratagems with BAngels, just the typical 3 generic ones, so he doesn’t feel the pain of being Index as much and will be doing Death Korps Guardsmen who aren’t particularly the best IG.

Anyway, was wandering if you guys thought these lists seem balanced against one another so that he can have a nice friendly game and test out his units properly:
