So since the Overkill box came out, I've wanted to build up a genestealer cult army. I want the cult to be the primary focus of the army, and will only use some vanguard tyranids to fill out some of the points to bring interesting additional units. ITC is a favored system around here, so with at least a nod towards build limits there.

I look forward to what you all think of it's viability.

Conveniently works out to three boxes of overkill there, nifty.

Curious what the internet will think?

Run the Cult's formation. It is great to have 1inch infiltration and 1st turn charge. You can neutralize the opponent's firepower before they can even do anything.

I agree the formation is really super good. However, the HQ units are unique, so I can't use that and have a primary genestealer cult army.
