There is also a short story that involves him discovering a Genestealer Cult over at a brothel.

No, that's a Slaaneshi cult, and he sorts it out by calling in an artillery strike on it because the Madam is a daemonhost.

The daemon later re-appears in another story and remembers him, and his unorthodox method of daemon-dismissal.

There is also that story, but this one involved a Genestealer Cult in a brothel, as the top girl he was talking to knew his name, despite only mentioning it to the person downstairs, thus concluding a hive mind is involved. She also had extra limbs IIRC.

Ooh, OK, I might not have read that one. My apologies!

It seems there are a lot of brothels in those stories

Long live the joy girls. Longest running proffesion in the galaxy.

Hopefully it will be like deathwatch. Repackage every imperial guard kit with an extra Sprue, then sell it. And maybe some of the vehicles and maybe one or two unique characters. You can tell I'm being sarcastic, right?

I would love to see representation of nonhuman Genestealer cults/hybrids, like Bugboyz and the Tau cult that the Inquisitor Water Caste Envoy uncovered, but they're just too small a part of the background to get any models or rules. It's the same principle that means Chaos cultists are invariably human-baseline

no idea what the flying model could be. A flying patriarch like the old Kenner Aliens toys would be fun, I'd be quite happy to let them have a Taurox or something, meybe even a generic vehicle statline that can be modified

Not every army needs a Flyer or even Transports, so let's just stop on that one until we have any indications of such things existing.

If you want to get snarky, Bell of Lost Souls does not exactly equate to "indications of such things existing". It equates to Bell of Lost Souls jumping on board the hype train with their usual method of "anonymous industry insider source told us X/Y/Z" covering up a wishlist.

How do you wish to redefine "indications" then?

Did it come from somewhere other than BoLS/Faeit/Naftka? If yes--indication!

Honestly Kan, stop being the thought police. A rumour is a rumour, the source lends credibility but it is still perfectly fair game to discuss a rumour in a news and rumour thread.

Trying to decide what other people choose to discuss, when it's actually on topic, is a new low for you.

Bols is the worst place for rumours. How many times have plastic sisters appeared on that place?

Seriously I don't understand why it's so popular. It's riddled with madness..

I very much doubt the flyer unless it's some kind of flying dump truck

However that's the rub isn't it?

A rumor is a rumor, except when it's an uncredited rumor from BoLS/Naftka/Faeit. Then it's just trashposting.

You don't get to make that call, that's the point. If other people wish to discuss it, that's their prerogative.

All trying to stop people discussing pertinent Rumours in a Rumours thread does is make you look like a control freak.

Well to be fair, this post was made before Warhammer TV put out that video. If anything this video is actually confirming what GW posted a few days before. That doesn't mean BoLS is still correct. For all we know this could be a teaser for the upcoming Deathwatch video game and not a codex since 75Hastings69 said now it might not even come out this year.

That's certainly fair, but how often does BoLS just randomly throw out things with no context?

Rhetorical question; it's all the damn time.

Space Hulk: Deathwing isn't going to be getting "teasers". They've been in full blown hype mode for a month or so now, PC release is in November IIRC.

The BoLS 'rumour' is just an amalgam of various wishlisting posts, and generic enough to maybe ring true. I wouldn't put any stock in it. Also, you can't do 'logical reboxes' of stuff on the sprue. It IS one sprue.

So true. Can't argue with you here.

I can be wrong here, but isn't this Warhammer TV new and the first time they did anything like this? I mean usually we get teasers on the GW website when a new product or codex coming out.

So unless I am wrong and can very well be, this Warhammer TV is doing something new that hasn't been done by GW in a long time. Either hyping up a new codex not through the GW website or hyping up a computer game which I never seen them do either.

How did GW introduce Deathwatch Death masque? Through Warhammer TV or through the GW website?

Through Warhammer TV first.

And to close this case, the teaser leaking to Genestealer Cults have been confirmed by Warhammer Tv:

"Codex gene stealer cult... We already know about this... Too many leaks!"

Warhammer TV "Oh,
We were thinking we were going to share a few more details, but we guess we won't bother if you already know it all."

I think actually it was through GW's main Facebook page with those Eldar prophecy flyers?

I do like that snarky answer.

Ooft. Someone's gonna need salve for that prometheum burn of a reply!

I like that response. Anyway we will actually know more tomorrow. Shops are going to get the preorder list within the next 24h and hopefully a kind soul will leak it then.

That sounds a lot like sarcasm to me.

Thank you very much. While I try to follow GW, it seems I am not doing a good job of following them at all.

You know when I was reading this thread I kept asking myself "Who the hell said anything about limos?" and then I googled "genestealer cult" and the first result I see suggested is "limos"... I can't believe this was actually a thing.

And considering how Games Workshop seems to be bringing back their retro units and styles, I think this is actually a serious possibility. I imagine they'll look like those third party cars for 40k that were made in the last year or so.

Which would be silly, I agree. But the funny thing is (as it was said earlier in this thread) this is something that could actually make sense in the story, but on the same level as a noodle cart.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Genestealer noodle vendors are entirely within established lore, and I would definitely have a good laugh with it .

I think it will be pretty cool to bring back such a classic part of 40k. While I will NOT be getting any GSC stuff for myself, I've got a friend who will be very interested in this, as he ran a Cult back in the day when they were a thing.

A Cult Limo seems to fit in something like Rogue Trader, when the game was smaller, or even Kill Team these days.

I just can't see a Cult Limo being a thing in a game where Knights and D-Weapons are everywhere.

Something like this could embody the spirit of the limo, without necessarily looking too out of place

I was thinking of using the Tarox (sorry spelling), cutting it in half but never could figure out what to use for the middle and the "limo" for stealers.

I'd say you have a better chance of finding a miniature that already looks like that and converting that.

Problem is if you start discussing wishlist-clickbaits there's not much concrete to talk about. I could say GW is going to release 40k 9th ed on 2018 and it's about as useful.
