So, after finishing up my Tyranid Fandex, except for the constant fine tuning, I have decided to do my best and ressurect what I can from the old Genestealer Cults. The plan is to first compile all the input and historical information I can from the original Genestealer units. If you have additional sources, feel free to share. In fact, most of this seems to be from the 2nd Edition Tyranid Codex, so if anyone happens to own an old copy, I would love to talk with you on getting those stat lines, along with the information on upgrades.

"There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose that functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bioengineered monsters it unleashes upon us by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey."

I have a 2nd edition codex at home, so pop anything you want to know here or in a PM and I'll send you the details.

I'll also take a gander at your Fandex; I've been so wrapped up in mine that I've been neglecting getting involved in the forums :(

Codex Infestation, my Hrud Fandex, can be found here
Advice and constructive criticism is always appreciated.

I've sent you a private message. I think I will most likely have to expand options, to make it into an acceptable mini codex.

Alright, I have the first section out. It's taking me some time, due to working on multiple projects at the moment.

Might want to explain what "Immune to Psychology" does. It has no clear definition in 6th Edition as it did back in 2nd Edition.

Shouldn't his initiative be at least the same as a Broodlord if not better?

You fool me once I'm mad.
You fool me twice, I don't really like you.
You fool me three times, your officially that guy.

Not necessarily. The Patriarch is the oldest Genestealer in the Cult - the one who started it. By the time the Cult is ready to strike, he has been around a long time, so he is likely to have lost a step - i.e. lower Initiative. (In my opinion, it should be lower than a normal Stealer)

So, going to rinse the dust of this and finally knuckle down and get this finished. Can't believe I let this thing fall to the wayside. So far, managed to bring up all the HQ options, but I am still unsatisfied with them. Suggestions for improvement are appreciated. I should be bringing up the next section within a day or so. Also, if anyone happens to have a space marine codex, IG codex, or the most recent IA volume pertaining to Thudd Guns, Mole Mortars, or Rapier Laser Destroyers, and would like to help me out, feel free to send me a message.
