"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!" |

No. The rule is '2 or more melee weapons'. MORE THAN ONE WEAPON Unless otherwise stated, if a model has more than one shooting weapon, he must choose which one to shoot – he cannot fire both in the same Shooting phase. If a model has more than one Melee weapon, he must choose which one to attack with when he comes to strike blows – he cannot mix and match the abilities of several different Melee weapons. However, it’s worth remembering that if a model has two or more Melee weapons he gains +1 attack in close combat.

This looks really quite good. I'm surprised by GW's competency. This is a narrative event, with a time and place. Not that it'll be a fantastic story, but it's just good to see them using, modernising, and expanding upon these long-standing events in the ten thousand year timeline.
I was always put off of the Genestealer Cult fluff by the absurdity of the "fat toad man" Patriarch, but a spiky Spawn of Cryptus is much better. All of the miniatures look great. I am thoroughly pleased by this release so far. Well done, GW!
That was perfect. Exalted!

Probably sometime later this year.
Also I never quite understood why the original Patriarch model was a fat humanoid creature.
Surely the Patriarch would be a full Genestealer grown more powerful with psychic power.
There is no reason he would become more human. Let alone fat and useless looking.

I've not seen anything that says this the GSC are multipart/multi pose?! if not what a waste of a kit. If so sign me up. First GW product in years for me if it is. Thats probably GW's biggest asset.

Just seen the Frag Cannon round, so BA lost something else unique (Rending Flamer)? Lol
But as a Tyranid player, I'm quite liking these releases. They seem competent.

Isn't Shriek a nova attack? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Does it have a choice between the codex powers and Telepathy? Because the unit entry above states it generates its powers from telepathy.

Psychic Shriek is a witchfire. Psychic Scream (Tyranid Power) is a Nova.
We can safely assume that the RAI is that Psychic Shriek doesn't require roll to hit in any case.

psychic scream is the nova. It's the nid power. Psy shriek is the primaris for telepathy.

no codex powers, as it is not from codex tyranids. Only telepathy.

That's what I thought. So the entire tangent about Psychic Shriek is even more irrelevant.

He wasn't more humanoid than the other (metal) Genestealers. He looked human because he was sitting like a human, and was fat/bloated like a human who sits all day long. I converted a young Patriarch out of a plastic Genestealer with metal arms - he looks kinda like a human (with an alien costume) too, but so looks a sitting cat.
Growing more powerful with increasing psychic powers... well, the Slann aren't Battletoads either.

Ah, that's what I was thinking of.
I would also assume the same thing.
