Hahahahahaha KK! You are such a joker. I wouldn't mind being proven wrong but I've been hearing about GS cults since I joined dakka years ago.

We are getting cults right after greatcoat plastic IG.

M.

If posting Larry Vela rumours was a bannable offense, this forum would be a much happier place.

**casvalremdeikun**

I wouldn't mind seeing a Deathwatch upgrade sprue for Sternguard, but given that this is BOLS we are talking about, there is probably next to no truth behind it.

**deleted20250424**

Ahhh, BoLs rumors.

Culled from the darkest places of the internet, cobbled together to drive clicks, and only slightly more reliable than peyote induced visions.

Hey! For all you know, their rumors ARE peyote induced visions!

**Vorian**

Hastings said we'll be getting a Deathwatch vs Genestealer cult back when he told us about the Assassins board game.

He also said they'd each be released later and have their own Harlequins sized codex... iirc.

Obviously, ignore the BoLS specific elements.

Stop linking to BoL(lock)s Clickbait.

As an aside, how do you ban a mod? Would you get the same results that you'd get from a divide by zero?

**Verviedi**

For those who cannot support BoLS clickbait, here you go!

So much hostility! Glad I didn't post the plastic Battle Sisters rumors I've been sitting on.

Well, this website IS a cesspit of vitriol and hate, y'know...

Yeah, BoL(lock)S is a complete state.

Dakka on the other hand is full of snark and jocularity

**Lockark**

Feels like they took the kill team and genestealer cult rumors from more reliable rumor mongers and took a random stab in the dark.

**migooo**

Bols is just awful. I was told it was GS cult

**warboss**

Subscribed just in case. I would have loved something like this a few years back (both when I was building deathwatch squads and running a Deathwatch RPG campaign)... but now I'll just be mildly interested from the sidelines just like with Calth.

**Alpharius**

Well....I've heard rumblings of the Genestealer Cult making a comeback/appearance in 2016 as well, so...who knows?

Can you confirm they'll have the option of thunderhawk transports (to coincide with that plastic kit)?
Also I've heard there will be plastic greatcoat guard models with options to model them as frateris militia.

**Bottle**

Sad Panda said this is coming.

So it's coming.

I will be buying it for the Genestealer cult!

Sad Panda said that there was another boardgame coming and gave no specifics.
I checked for his post via the rumor tracker, and here it is:

Oct 2015
True. Deathwatch/Genestealer Cult will almost certainly be the next board game after EF and Calth. But not this year.

So no specifics beyond "it's almost certainly the next board game" and "it's not this year"

That's the problem with these kinds of BOLS rumors. They find someone with a good reputation who has been posting rumors, then they elaborate upon them.
It's like with how Sad Panda stated that Space Wolves are coming out next February. Expect to see BoLS/Naftka start talking about how they've been given "anonymous tips" that Space Wolves will include something like a giant mech-wolf or a plastic Iron Priest or something of that nature.

They take a credible rumor and build upon it, hoping to get clicks on the tail of someone else's rumors.

**gorgon**

Well, you know *I* want GCults to happen. And I trust Hastings and Sad Panda. I don't trust BOLS rumors even a little.

However, it is *believable* that GW would just throw some regular Tyranids into the box, or cobble together some infiltrating Tyranids and slap a "Genestealer Cult" label on them. So we'll see.

**BrookM**

They need to stop adding in their own speculation when reposting. Just repost the rumour, then add the bs in below, instead of putting it in the repost itself.

From what I've heard, that's not the case here.

Hopefully they use the release of the cult as an excuse to redo the genestealers models. This kit is starting to show its age.

**Nostromodamus**

If Genestealer Cult makes a re-appearance I certainly hope they'll be rolling around in their pimpwagons again.

Maybe not in the boardgame, but at least some art or fiction. They had sweet rides back in the day.

What I heard is that they really want to make them happen but want them to be great and there's a small problem with the undercuts for the sleeves but they're working real hard on it and they should be out real soon because Jes promised they're coming.

And the plastic thunderhawk is coming as soon as they can reduce the sprue count a bit so it fits in a box.

And the greatcoat guard can make Valhallans, Steel Legion AND Kreig!

All this is coming for the campaign where the Blood Angels turn to Chaos and the Ultramarines declare independence from the corrupt Imperium.

I suspect a plastic thunderhawk is coming sometime next year... for the likely relaunch of Epic under the revamp Specialist Games/Forgeworld umbrella.

I think you accidentally opened up your Dornian Heresy folder again.

**Slayer-Fan123**

Ah yes, a source from unBellievable Of Lost Souls.

Have something from Fakeit too?

**Alpharius**

There are better sources for this than those two places - those two places are just up to their usual "repost + add something to enhance clickbaitability" shenanigans.

It's just this time they also happen to be 'right'. More or less.

**mjl7atlas**

Back to those plastic SoB's, why will they not release them already!!!???

THOSE. FETHING. SLEEVES. A lot of people don't now this, but the sleeves on the new SOB plastics are actually four-dimensional objects constructed from unobtanium. Jes is working on it, tho.
