Hi all,

I’m going to start a Crusade force using my Genestealer cult army. However I’m struggling to understand if I can use my GSC Leman Russ alongside my neophytes and hybrids when mustering my army.

Can anyone help clarify this please

Many thanks

A Cult Leman Russ has the Tyranids keyword and is thus eligible for any Tyranids Crusade force. Since it also has Genestealer Cults keyword, it can also be included in any Genestealer Cults detachment, subject to the rules for a Brood Brothers unit.

Also note:

You can add Astra Militarum units to your Genestealer Cults Crusade Force using the Brood Brothers rules presented here. However, that Astra Militarum’s <Regiment> or Militarum Tempestus keyword is replaced with Brood Brothers at the point that it is added to your Order of Battle, instead of when mustering your army.

When mustering your army, these Astra Militarum units cannot include any other Genestealer Cults units that do not have the Astra Militarum keyword in their detachment.

I understand I can have them in my OOB but I’m more so struggling to understand the mustering part. Neophytes, hybrids and most other units don’t have the Astra Militarum keyword.

So as I understand it I can only field a Russ with the accompanying brood brother squads

The Cult Leman Russ has the Tyranids, Genestealer Cults, and Brood Brothers faction keywords. Per the rules for Brood Brother's units, they can be included in a Genestealer Cults detachment without preventing other units in that detachment from gaining a Cult Creed. Please note this for a Cult Leman Russ (see Codex Genestealer Cults) as opposed to a Leman Russ (see Codex Astra Militarum). Two different datasheets.

You can muster an entire broodbrothers force if you want to. You just need to have 1 auxiliary detachment with a gsc model/warlord.
You lose out on a lot of cp but ita crusade so who cares
