http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net GSC are "shaking up the meta." On the surface they seem to be horde army that specializing on having tricks up their sleeves, mainly the whole "From The Shadows" rule or whatever it's called, in addition to being able to ally with AM or Nids to fill in any gaps. They're a relatively low unit variety army but that's made up for by the aforementioned allies. Is there anything I'm missing here? I'm very interested in starting a GSC army, just picked up Overkill.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706559/8983857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706559/8983857.page GMT
Cult Ambush is an amazingly powerful rule and allows for quick assaults. You have a huge edge in Maelstrom as your mobility is second to none. Your units can also 'regenerate'.

I think they are well worth running and are a good foil to Eldar.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706559/8984070.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706559/8984070.page GMT
A lot of other Deathstars, even the fast ones, have a hard time covering the entire table over the course of a turn, so Genestealer Cults can also play "keep away" rather effectively. Acolyte Hybrids with their heavy close combat weapons can also threaten Knights in assault too.

So, they're well positioned, even if they're not actually that powerful. Flyers, Gladius, and other forces can counter them pretty strongly. I think the Cult will pull some results in tourneys, but aren't going to displace any of the top competitors.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706559/8984265.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706559/8984265.page GMT
Surprise mining lasers don't hurt either. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706559/8984275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706559/8984275.page GMT
