That's pretty. I hope GW gives our cult something like this.

Tim H. had a Genestealer Ark in his codex (sadly not in the edited version of the Citadel Journal) - so why not use a whole tank?

This Genestealer Cult Battlescribe catalogue is pretty much functionally complete. Just need to add some weapon profiles and rule references once I'm done assembling the 40,000 new models that arrived this weekend.

Superb - thanks for this - one observation, the formations detachment doesn't allow for adding Lords of the Cult ... Lord of the Cult: Just a Patriarch, Magus, Primus or Cult Iconward - it'd be great to have these added - the rest of my upcoming force built beautifully, but these are missing for my Patriach and Magus

Well, my limited edition codex and dice arrival date has been upped to Thursday. Better than next Tuesday, at least.

Still haven't gotten my stuff yet either, reminds me of how impatient am.

So it's been a while... what kind of armaments can a sentinel have? Would these make a good proxy even though they have 2 power fist arms?

Those Throned patriarchs are beautiful, but more importantly, there is a GSC Faceook group ?

Funny you mention that; - the empty space at the back of a Goliath is just screaming for a throne. May have to do some test fits once it releases.

I got a kick out of the fact that the "example player" named for how to build a GSC army was Tim.

GWs fans like their miniatures to be expensive, their products to be Limitied edition, their novels to be as short as possible and their rules to have no balance, is it really a suprise they continue to cater to that audience by putting the symbol on the one?

lol, it's pretty much the only logical explanation that I can think of to explain the symbol on the 1 rationale.

Oh that is awesome.

Congrats Tim!

I joined the FB group. There's a thread with people saying your Genestealers can't be 'Purestrains' unless they're on 32mm bases.

Doubt I'll be in that group long.

The "Neophyte Hybrids" box feels like with some head swaps and removal of the cult icons is a necromunda gang box. I also find it interesting their are no sculpted Genestealer Cult Icons on the hull of the Goliath. Feels like they left it open as a "technical" type unit I could see other armies getting. (Chaos Cultists, Poorly Equipped IG, ect)

I can kinda see the logic they used to come to that conclusion. Since the ones in Overkill were on 32mm. But considering the current genestealers are designed to be built with 25mm slota bases in mind, I don't seen them repacking the current genestealers anytime soon.

I still got all my Space Hulk Genestealers. Kinda Tempted to actully get them painted. They would look good on the 32mm's to boot anyway.

Seems pretty clear cut to me...

This box set contains eight multi-part plastic Genestealers, and includes a host of additional components allowing you to represent a number of weapon-symbiotes or biomorph enhancements. Models supplied with 25mm round bases.

Models and Base Sizes
The rules in this book assume that models are mounted on the base they are supplied with. Sometimes, a player may have models in his collection on unusually modelled bases. Some models aren’t supplied with a base at all. In these cases (which are, in all fairness, relatively few and far between), you should always feel free to mount the model on a base of appropriate size if you wish, using models of a similar type as guidance.

Oh indeed, it's a non-question but TFGs abound...

For that logic to be valid there would have to be specific purestrain genestealer model so the TFG's for example couldn't use old genestealer models on 32mm bases to claim that logic as by their logic they aren't then anymore using purestrain stealer models but proxying it at which point you could say "no proxying" and hey presto he cannot field them.

Anybody seen specific purestrain stealer models from GW that are different to non-purestrain and which are on 32mm bases? Currently GW shop shows only one result for purestrain and that's stealers with 25mm base.

So if anybody tries it's laughably easy to prove them wrong. If I were in tournament with 'stealers I would find it amusing if somebody tried to pull that stunt since I could embarass them ridiculously easily.

I wasn't sure weather to put your name or not, so I thought I'd keep it private in case you didn't want it anywhere. Had I known your forum name I'd have credited you

I only became a member last week to follow Genestealer stuff - lurked for years before that

I'm River Zora on pretty much every online forum there is that I am part of. Zeldainformer/universe/dungeon, Tyranid Hive, Nintendo ID, Twitter etc. etc. if ever you see the handle it's probably me! And if it's not, I'll have to buy that person's user name off them...

One thing I definitely noticed in this codex vs other 7th ed dexes: Art instead of just model pictures when it comes to the unit fluff entries! I'll have to check my other recent codexes when I get home, but I thought they'd removed that, and if they have, it's great to have it back!

I just wish they'd move away from the "artists must only depict exactly what is in the box, no creativity allowed" policy. I know, I know, knockoff model makers whatever, but c'mon. Would it really kill you to depict an Aberrant in the art in some way that's NOT exactly the one hammer-carrying dude with half a robe over his leg that you get in DWO? Show one in the scary robes you talk about in the fluff, maybe one with crazy spawn tentacles on his back or something.

Eccentric miniatures does some fantastic base expanders compatible with 25mm GW bases.

Can anyone tell me if the genestealer tendril feeder head can fit on a hormagaunt body? I asked awhile ago but got no answer in the modeling page, and I'd like to get to ordering some models. Thanks for any replies. And if anyone happens to have a picture, that would just be absolutely amazing.

Has anyone else heard that there's likely to be another dice run?

I know when I was in my local GW picking up mine that they said this had been the most oversubscribed set yet and pretty much every store was screaming at head office to make more

but whether head office will listen I'm not sure

I do not know. I do know that my local GW did not even get a single set of dice in to put on the shelves.

Maybe I missed it in the last few pages or something, but is there any chance they will release the Ghosar Quintus Broodkin (all the GSC models from DW:OK) as a boxed set kind of like how they did Kill Team Cassius? I was hoping to pick up a set at some point just to have all the models from the game (I'm regretting splitting the box with a friend nowadays).

The Chaos Daemons codex also have art instead of models for the fluff entries. Like it and looking forward to GSC codex.

It's entirely possible - the same HQ units sprue from Overkill was already released as the Broodcoven box. I can plausibly see GW releasing the bulk infantry sprues as part of a 'Start Collecting' or limited-run formation box later on. However I wouldn't expect it anytime soon, as they will want to maximise sales of the new Neophyte / Acolyte boxes first. Perhaps around xmas.

This is awesome news. I hated that they changed to photos.
