I love that trailer.

It doesn't look part of the car, though the tubes udner it make it look like its mounted on a gun carriage rather than in the turret of a lrbt.

The gun on the side? It looks like it is attached to me, like the Taurox gun.

It just looks way too big to be an Autocannon though. I mean look at the bore, that thing is huge.

I'd say it's probably more like the taurox "battle cannon". Basically a horrible worst of both world's situation as a S7 Ap4 small blast.

There's shell casings pouring out the side though, autocannon seems more likely to me.

Heavy stubber.

The gun on the side is an autocannon.

From Grot orderly:
On 24th September we will get a 104 page codex for Genestealer Cults.
Lots of background, full army list (well duh!) but with Astra Militarum - converstion gallore commence!
The Cults will get their own six objectives (available to buy as well), 8 new formations, looted wargear. On top of that they will get Broodmind Discipline (Hivemind equivalent?) and psychic powers, seven of them.
Painting tutorials as well on schemes and iconography.
Of course there will be some miniature boxes as well - reboxed Overkill miniatures.

Prices below:

Codex: Genestealer Cult - 25GBP / 33EUR
Datacards: Genestealer Cult - 8GBP / 10.50EUR
Dice: Genestealer Cult - 12.50GBP / 16.50EUR
How To Paint: Genestealer Cult - 6GBP - 8EUR (digital?)
Genestealer Cult Acolyte Hybrids - 25GBP / 33EUR
Genestealer Cult Neophyte Hybrids - 25GBP / 33EUR[i]

Get your wallets ready!

Shame, i was hoping for new models rather than rebox, the models will get pretty samey looking. I wonder if they are using the AM parts to help with variety, or if Cults get to ally with AM

They can't be a straight up rebox if sold separately - the DW:OK sprues are mixed.

So they'll be reworked in some way. May as well add options to sprues as well if making new sprues.

Guard usage is promising!

Upgrade kits seem to be the order of the day from GW lately, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Cult iconography sprue for IG vehicles sooner or later.

from the looks of it, this will be the first wave. I mean this can't be all for a full army, they lack hq's outside of the dwk and I wouldn't be surprised if we get that truck from the video

I'd be surprised if they release any other HQs vs just boxing up the DW:OK command sprue. Everyone will want a Magus and Patriarch, and it includes the Primus and Familiars. No need to recut, unlike the troops sprue.

With deathwatch we had codex week 1, reboxes week two, and new stuff week three. This looks like codex and reboxes week 1 and new stuff week 2. The hq and the vehicle were the two things highlighted in the video. I imagine they will be the week 2 release.
Both armies leveraging existing ranges to build out the options is also smart.

I have to say that the impression that I got from this trailer is that that Magus knows that they're going to get integrated into a hive mind at the very least. Besides, once the Tyranids actually show up wouldn't the hive mind just assert total control over the cultists and turn them into tyranids for all intents and purposes? Wouldn't that make them Battle Brothers?

Yep that's what happens. The Hive Mind will use them like any other bio asset and expend them to cause confusion and disruption on its arrival if they have not already taken the planet, if they are a large enough force they can be used as another military arm.

(see my sig quote from Amberley Vail)

If they have actually taken the planet then they just walk into the digestion pools. Only specific genestealers are not absorbed IIRC

As someone said nice irony at the end of the trailer ;0

They would only have to re-sprue the master-components and cut a new die.

Not difficult and perfectly possible.

Of course not outside realms of possibility, notprop, but the Acolytes and Neophytes not being a straight-up reboxing of the DW:OK Cult troops sprue itself *is* now confirmed.

Reboxed miniatures :(

What a shame

Afaik there is also new stuff, not just reboxes ....

The only thing is that they lack any sort of sergeant type option. In the DW:OK box
I hope at least this is in the recut , or bits to turn one of them into said upgrade.

Usually these upgrades get Melta bombs or power weapons without you needing a separate choice.

Supplying you with anti armour, or anti heavy infantry such as SM

Because if we have 1 unit the Abberants with power weapons, or the poorer Genestealers ( who I think only have rending now? ) those will be the first target for heavy weapons. Or even our HQ Broodlord will just be blamed.

S.Y.

This is beyond awesome.

I loved my GSC army back in 2nd...this might actually get me back into playing 40k after a couple of years out.

The stockist email says multipart

Sounds good so far

Multipart it is then!

I remember rumors of some buggy-like thing for Space Marines a few years ago. Maybe that concept will end up as the Genestealer Cult trunk?

That means with weapon options, etc.

Looking forward to "Start Collecting: Genestealer Cult". Otherwise, probably too expensive.

kestral, that was called Deathwatch: Overkill :-D

That's not what they would mean by 'multi-part'.
