Can we ever take more than one Patriarch, Magus or Primus?

Can there be more than 2 Broodmind psykers in an army? Do Cult psykers still get the Telepathy discipline?

What options Brood Brothers get compared to an IG infantry platoon? Do they get command/heavy/special weapons squads, etc?

Do we get any Leman Russ variants?

Are there any anti-air options in the codex?

Formations, basically.

What some of the more unique wargear items and the independent character standard bearer do would also be good.

Name all the GSC units and what they are.
How does the new transport/vehicle work and what are the differences between the two types?
How do Seismic weapons work?
How do Web weapons work?
How does the Drill/Saw/Demolition Charges/Blasting Caps work?
What's special about Purestrain Genestealers? Can they get a Broodlord?
Are there any Brood Brother units outside of the vehicles, or are they all controlled by Hybrids as well? Or do allies take care of that aspect?
What are the relics? How do relics even work in a force that is, by design, meant to overthrow a world and then be eaten?
What do Metamorphs do? Please tell me they don't have some dumb random chart to roll on to get abilities...
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I think it's been answered before, and it was one of each per detachment.

Interested in seeing some of the Mechanicus cult fluff.

The gs cult datacards are the last of the datacards. No more updates after these. Sign 8th wont use datacards?

I just want to know exaclty how the Cult Ambush rule works:

dependent on a dice roll, Genestealer Cults units can set up anywhere on the table, deploy and charge in the same turn, and burst from their hidden lairs to surprise and engulf the enemies of the Cult;

Where did you get this?

What number are the symbols on for the dice?

So what is in the armoured vehicles section?
Also, what is the rule that allows assaulting out of a land raider? Could the Goliath have something like that?
It is weird that the model looks so open topped... Maybe designed before the rules?!

This week:
Genestealer Cults: Goliath / Rockgrinder - 35GBP
Neophyte Hybrid Squad - 25GBP
Genestealer Cults: Broodcoven - 37GBP
Genestealer Cults: Acolyte Iconward - 15GBP
Space Marines: Srike Force Ultima* - 150GBP
Battle Mat: City Ruins** - 50GBP



So.. no aberrants?

Nope, sign that there will be a tiny update and a chance for GW to sell us new ones.

Not really. None of the aos updated forces came with cards when they had them before.

So do we think this will be a 6'x4' mat then or possibly an 8'x4'?

**Edit: It's 4'x4' according to my FLGS. Seems a bit steep.. Hopefully it's the heavy duty mouse mat material.

To be fair, the only things we had before were spell lores with WHFB.

Cards for the various factions in 40k are Tactical Objectives and unique lores as well.

Don't we already have a Neophyte Hybrid Squad?

They have to release aberrants separately surely.
Why release everything else but them?

The new models are the Neophyte Hybrids. The Cadians with upgrade sprue are a Neophyte Hybrid Squad. Confusing? Noooo...

Hi!
Relics, Psychic Powers and Formations?

Thanks in advance!

I find the the armoured claw boxed set (Cadian Neophytes and Chimera) a bit odd as well as it is not an actual named codex entry just a Neophyte squad with added troop transport. Glad that there is a discount on buying the Cadians and Chimera separately though (£25 minus the heavy weapon team+ £22.50 = £47.50, so a nice £12.50 saving straight away).

Am happy that the Neophytes have so many options though, auto guns, Lasguns and numerous Imperial and cult special weapons. So plenty of variety equipment and modelling wise.

You're online but you're not replying. Where are you? We eagerly await your presence :( Thanks in advance for any questions you can answer!
My questions were as follows; what does the Iconoward (spelling?) do? Are Acolyte Hybrids still Fearless? Do Neophyte Hybrids actually get Heavy Weapon teams and do all Neophyte Hybrids have the same profile? What are the new psychic powers like? Again, thank you.

I hope the Neophytes have access to lasguns. While a lasgun and an autogun are functionally identical in the game, it would really stink to not have wysiwyg neophyte squads if you chose to go the military cult rather than mining cult / hive gangers.

You're forgetting that the Cult Upgrade sprue is included as well.

In any regards, "Armored Claw" is likely just the name they wanted to give them. When the Cadian and Chimera set was last being sold, it was billed as an "Armored Fist Squad" despite that moniker long since having been gone from the codex.

I would be willing to bet that one of the boxed sets, possibly the Broodkin box, is just the DW:OK GSC stuff repackaged. That way people can get their aberrants and whatnot all in one place.

Good point, that is the best bit. So 14 heads on the upgrade sprue, I will certainly be buying the armoured claw and a leman Russ so 28 heads to go round.

The Broodkin box is the three characters from the GSC side. Pictures were posted in this very thread.

Am i mis-remembering, or was the "armored fist" bundle $60 USD? It was still saving cash vs buying the chimera and the cadian team seperately. But this for $55 and includes a HWT *and* a GSC upgrade sprue? madness! I will probably get one or two before they stop making them.

Oh, and as a non-guard player i have to ask another dumb question - are the cadian squads supposed to be veterans or platoon squads and is there specific modeling to differentiate the two?

oh, well in that case, who knows if the Aberrants will ever see standard release.
