Scuttling Genestealer




I'm interested in beginning a genestealer cult and returning to 40k. I'm trying to map out a good list to build towards in order to avoid previous mistakes when collecting armies. Any insight into whether this is a viable list or, if not, how it should be tweaked?

This is the list I'd want to run if I had the models.

No aberrants? But then you've got so many Acolytes that you should be fine without them - and you've got the delivery mechanisms sorted. Just be careful against armies that can effectively screen you out!

Ah hell, I'm a fan of all seven.
But right now, I'm gonna have to go with wrath.

I thought my underground might get a bit crowded trying to drop 80 acolytes down on one turn. I cut a squad of rocksaw acolytes in exchange for another brood brother squad, giving the remaining two acolyte squads more rocksaws, switching the neophytes webbers to grenade launchers, and adding a 6th squad of neophytes.
