Just hoping for a generic HQ option.
That way you can run a CAD with the broodkin formation alongside it.

Depends on other formations though as there may be better options.

Do hope so though as I have the run into and seated patriarch plus 4 magus models, ontop of the DWOK set.

The things out this week...

CODEX GENESTEALERS CULT
- 104 pages
- background about various Genestealer Cults across the Imperium
- full army list with rules for all units including elements from the Astra Militarum.
- 6 new Tactical Objectives
- 8 new Formations
- new wargear
- new psychic school "Broodmind" (7 new powers)
- Uniform Guide that shows colors and uniforms of a selection of cults.

Codex (33€) - the Price is for italian softcover codex... UK hardcover should be the usual 30£ -
Datacards (10,50€)
Dice set (16,50€)
How to Paint Guide (8€)

GENESTEALERS CULT acolytes/metamorphs 5 models (33€)
GENESTEALERS CULT neophytes 10 models (33€)

Legends of dark Millennium : GENESTEALERS Black Library (15€)

The font i found had already these names for the boxrs...
I guess the neophytes are the hybrids and the matamorphs are the aberrhants from Overkill but i will be happy if there will be new units in the codex...

The preview list Using the Overkill models has the Patriarch, the Magus and the Alpha Hybrid all having the HQ Battlefield role...
I don't think the GAC codex won't have HQ

I'm looking forward to this as it coincides with my ebay purchase of the cultist models from DW overkill, Genestealer cults were on my wish list from when I first started the hobby along with Eldar harlequins.

This might be a language thing. When someone says multi-part, they're meaning you have options in the construction, like a basic Assault Space Marine sprue.



The Genestealer Cult models from the Deathwatch board game were not.



As pointed out from Atia, there should be new models that are multi-part.

Multi-part does not equal multi-pose

It does in GW lingo.

33 euros for 5 models seems expensive, when acolytes are 7 points per model (going by the overkill datasheets).

Would have thought they'd add a vehicle to that list of releases...otherwise looks like they just get rules for a Taurox.

I think we can look for a second week of releases.

Hmm... Assuming those box names are correct, I wonder if the "metamorph" hybrids are somehow linked to Ymgarl genestealers (given their big thing in the Tyranid 5th edition book was being able to "morph" their bodies at will). I doubt they are linked to Aberrants as hypothesized since Acolytes are the 1st/2nd generation hybrids and don't really share any parts with the existing Aberrants. A new Genestealer kit would also open up the possibility of Ymgarls proper returning as well...

In any event, I can't wait for Saturday! All my Overkill hybrids are painted and eagerly awaiting reinforcements.

It just means 'three-armed mutants' I'd expect. Or possibly an Aberrant combi-kit? Odd, anyway.

Hero Cards huh? Now that is a good release.

The Acolyte Hybrids already have three arms though, and as said the Aberrants don't really share any parts with them.

Compare, Aberrant:


Acolyte:

If it includes elements from the Guard, that's good. Should be an interesting dex.

Actually, I could see it working with a shared set of legs and shared heads, and then separate torso/arms/weapon bits. Not really what I want to happen, but possible. However, the name "Metamorph" leads me to believe it won't be the Aberrants. Most GW models these days have a trademarkable name that is shared across most languages, don't they?

Sweet. Now I can tell my wife starting guard was actually a cost savings in the long run!

Thanks God. I was so pissed that it was only repackaged models that I was planning to go savagely beat up the fat nerd that work at my nearby GW. Saved me a hefty fine and a few days in jail

The legs are roughly the same size (as is the head), so a combined kit with different torso and arm options is possible.

Edit: Ninja'd

I'm pretty sure metatmorphs and aberrants are not the same thing. Was there something called like that in the old GC fluff?

VERY positive news.

Yeah I know, own juuust a few of each. ;-) Just speculating. Kits have included wholly separate torsos in the past. Anyway, we'll know soon.

Well at ($41 USD) for 5 hybrids, if it's the acolytes I'm glad I have 36 from the overkill box.

There are no more ymargl genestealers.
Fluff wise they were a mutation from an abandoned sect of genestealers that the hive mind didn't want to infect the brood and abandoned the very small subsect of genestealers.
However eventually one of the hive fleets took pity and ate thier biomass and instead of having anymore ymargl mutant genestealers we now have the ymargl trait instead.
However the point of the story is thier are no ymargl genestealers. They are gone.

Metamorph by definition are just various stages of mutation hence metamorphosis.
The current cult designation are just acolytes (hybrid 3/4) bald guys w wierd faces
And neophytes are (hybrid 1/2) showing the genestealer gene possessing multiple arms etcs
Abberrants are simply mutants
Then we got primus and magus w his familiars (these are part of the 4+ gen)
Patriarch and broodlords
First gen stealers aka stealers with lots of spikes and purestrains (those assault from 2in infiltrate stealers)
And basic gene stealers.
That's it no more cult members
Add In a few guard tranports and maybe ground vehicles but nothing from the navy or admech forgeworlds.

pretty sure you got it the other way around ... acolytes being 1st/2nd generation, and the neophytes being the more refined generations; ergo, the latter ones

No, they aren't particularly... I converted 6 aberrants using parts from the other OK kits, the sizes do not match super well. The aberrants are larger and significantly thicker in the upperbody than 1st-2nd gens. Lower body is possible but the lower legs of the aberrant are smaller than the 1st 2nd gens... so you need to GS to fill the gap or have an extremely stubby 1st-2nd gen.

I would not consider the OK sculpts, if representative of subsequent designs, to be particularly compatible in terms of becoming a multikit box with 1st-2nd gens.

This Aberrant has 1st gen legs btw, to sho the example that is works pretty well for 1st/2nd gen legs with Aberrant upper body. Will take a pic of a an aberrant lower body with 1st/2nd gen upper body to show how much gap had to be filled to bring the proportions back in line.

Where was there actually any news about it including elements of the Guard?

And also, no it's not positive news. If it includes elements from the Guard, then whenever Guard get revamped...those stupid elements will have to stick around

Yea your right I switched them by accident.
Main points I wanted to include was ymargl don't exist anymore. (But GW can also do what they did with doom and just make a generic version but I doubt it)
Secondly that abberrants are not part of any generation of hybrids they are mutants who didn't take the normal path of gene manipulation and they can appear during any generation. The cult does protect them for some odd reason, but basically all aberrants are just an anomaly and doesn't necessarily have a typical design.
