Haven't put together an army in FOREVER.
First attempt.
Be nice. LOL

2000 points (clocks in at 2002. we're lenient enough for the extra 2 in my group)

Cult Insurrection Detachment (Pg 66)
The First Curse Formation (Pg 90)
Patriarch
-Lvl 2
Genestealers x 20


Lord of the Cult
Acolyte Iconward
Icon/Cult Ascendant


The Doting Throng Formation (Pg 92)
Magus
-Lvl2, 2x familiars & Crouchling

Neophytes (a) x 10
2 Mining Laser
2 Grenade Launchers
5 Shotguns
Cult Icon
Neophyte Leader
Chainsword & Bolt pistol
Goliath truck

Neophytes (b) x 10
2 Mining Laser
2 Grenade Launchers
5 Shotguns
Cult Icon
Neophyte Leader
Chainsword & Bolt pistol
Goliath truck

Neophytes (c) x 10
2 Mining Laser
2 Grenade Launchers
5 Shotguns
Cult Icon
Neophyte Leader
Chainsword & Bolt pistol
Goliath truck

Acolyte Hybrids & Leader (10)
Goliath Truck
Hand Flamer (3)
Heavy Rock Drill x2
Cult Icon
Lash Whip & Bonesword

Acolyte Hybrids & Leader (8)
Goliath Truck
Hand Flamer (3)
Heavy Rock Drill x2
Cult Icon
Lash Whip & Bonesword
(Magus and Iconward from this Detachment hitch a ride here, which fills the truck)


Separate from the Detachment above:
The First Curse Formation (Pg 90)
Patriarch
-Lvl 2
Genestealers x 20


He deploys with the 2nd Patriarch
Acolyte Iconward
Icon/Cult Ascendant


This gives me a meager 6 points in the Psychic phase, and a total of 7 rolls on whichever charts I select.
Likely, all spells will come from the Broodmind, in hopes for some nice powers on the chart, but I can also see Biomancy calling my name! As I'll keep all rolls on the same chart for each individual psyker, I can expect to have a total of 10 powers (Free Primaris each).

I know the 30 Neophytes are kind of weak, but my opponent should have more to worry about with 40 Genestealers and 2 Patriarchs running down his throat (especially with 1 having a beefed up Iconward), not to mention the 18 Acolytes, Magus & second Iconward rolling in! LOL
This is 93 models, excluding the 5 Trucks (and familiars).
Thoughts?

what you have here are is 3 formations

Also I thought lord of the Cult only has Patriarch, Magus and Primus.. not an Icon Ward

so your list would be unbound]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704624/8947607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704624/8947607.page GMT [2000] - Genestealer Cult - Back to 40K after skipping all year. I'll have to do a bit of tweaking.

Yeah. I F*ed this one up 3 ways to Sunday. LOL Too long away, and still learning the details.
-Missed that the Doting Throng was not Core. Poo.
--Checked the Iconward to make sure he listed no exclusions for who he can hoin... forgot to check 'Stealers. ; (
---The Iconward *is* a LotC, though.
----I had a "Brood Brother" sentinal in here to (I thought) meet the minimum, then forgot and removed him for the 2nd Iconward.

I'll have to do some tweaking and come back to this. I definitely want to be able to run the detachment for the "Numbers beyond" special rule.
I can probably ditch the Iconward, pare down the Throng and squeeze a cavalcade out of it to meet the minimums.

Thanks again for the input, so far, everyone!

Eric
