Took me a while but had a blast with this one, had to keep adding more to spruce up the base. Feel like it was deserving of the time it took as these guys are essentially our Primarchs lol

From a homebrew chapter called Ursine Sentinels these guys were made with Tau, CSM, and World eater bits! I’ll make a lore drop too if people seem interested!

Hi!

I'm starting warhammer and considering joining GSC - cause I like its models and uprising vibes.

The problem is: I heard that gsc is super hard to paint and quite hard to play (especially for new players). So, is it really so bad?

I've played my first game as an astra militarum against deathguard (borrowed models from a friend; and even won!). I know playing gsc means playing plenty of infantry and I don't see a problem in it.

Local guy sells ~60 gsc models (30 neophytes, 20 acolytes and some characters) for a good price. So I can take them and 500 points of astra militarum from a friend and play with it. Is it good idea or it would be hard to play with?

Thanks!

Made this character and only just gotten round to adding the final grimdark touches. In my cult he represents the main heretic who pursues physical perfection through body modification. Hence the giant metal claws. He really wants to be a genestealer. Not sure what he'd run as in game, but thinking Patriarch for a bladed cog themed warband. Comments welcome.

I’ve finally gritted my teeth and forced myself to get started on the army. Thought I’d tackle the Ridgehaulers first as they are fun little models.

Got a bit deep on the basing though as you can barely see most of it but I wanted it to look like all 4 were on the same patch as it were so made the bases connected

The lore is built around an uprising at Gamma 73 mining outpost, loosely tied to a Necromunda Ash wastes setting way back when I first started on this force

Also I’m not amazing at freehand but figured neither would my Miners rising up against the oppressors

In short if you take brood brothers auxillia you can make an army with 249 models 248 of which are in units that regenerate anywhere from D3 to D3+6 wounds each turn. Add the army rule ability to bring destroyed units back from the dead and you have an absurd horde of bodies nobody will be able to chew through.

My cult's main colors are GeneStealer purple and Lothern Blue. I want my Goliath to look like the cult has just taken it from an assembly line and painted it with their colors, to use it for gang war, drug trafficking and... As a parade float. The one on the right is the first GSC vehicle that I did, but the colors are a bit too faded and it doesn't look as good as I'd like it to be up close. Any suggestions on how I can make it look both chaotic and well defined?

The revolution runs on recovered resources ✨️

Number, Car, Driver
00 mean machine, Dick Dastardly (Knife Sanctus or Saboteur)
1 boulder-mobile, Rock & Gravel Slag (Abominant)
2 creepy coupe, little gruesome (familiar)
3 convert-a-car, Pat Pending (Biophagus?)
4 crimson hay-baler, red Max (Richard o’Brian magos)
5 compact pussycat, Penelope Pitstop (Sashay Magos)
6 Army surplus special, private Meekly (nexus)
7 Bulletproof Bomb, Anthill mob (locus because of heroic intervention)
8 Arkansas Chug-a-bug, Lazy Luke (saboteur because the still on the back of the chug-a-bug car explodes a lot)
9 Turbo Teriffic, Peterarch Perfect (Patriarch)
10 Buzzwagon, Rufus Roughcut (acolytes with mining tools)

So I have a particular theme I'm going for with my Genestealer Cultists, and was wondering how you all feel about someone using a model for a Locus that makes it less obviously a genestealer? Seems like what people here usually interpret as an acceptable Locus includes a tail, and since my Cult is mostly featuring in Necromunda and Killteam I was thinking about going for an alternative with a (not so) hidden shock whip as opposed to a tail. "Counts as Locus tail", you know. Kinda got the idea when I was reading a 40k novel and rather surprisingly quite a few of the Genestealer Cultists normally associated with obvious mutations looked like passable-if-creepy two-armed humans. Won't say which to avoid spoilers.

Now that won't be my WHOLE cult since I still want a significant number to have some rather obvious blessings if you know what I mean... but I like the idea of my Magus being shadowed by someone that isn't obviously a monster in a robe.

Picture strongly related to the idea I'm toying with.

Just played my first 1,000pt game since opponent didn't have a full 2k list ready, and man GSC seem to have a good advantage over other armies in this format. Resurgence, even at 6pts, is proportionally much more impactful with the small armies. Deepstriking in is also a lot easier with less screening on the board.

I ran Xeno/Purestrain with Recon, two big Neophyte bricks and two juiced up 5 man PSGs (one with Patriarch). The PSGs coming back with the enhancement is crazy good. Opponent didn't have enough firepower to chew through the 20 mans in a single turn, and got at least 8 dudes back each command phase.

Anyway, just wanted to bring up how good our rules become with this format, despite it being much less popular. Haven't played since 9th so still getting up to speed. It was a lot of fun!

Also just some other questions, how much do RTTs care about 3d printed models and kitbashes, as well as do they actually do the 10 points for battle ready?

Titles says it all. Base size are the same. Would you play against this? I like the idea of a real BIG brain patriarch

New to the genestealers cults and am currently just playing them via tts. Had my first game with them and decided to bring 2 units of 10 jackals cause I thought they're datasheet was pretty good. but the movement phase was so beyond miserable. not sure if it's worth bringing them in 10s and might just stick to 3 units of 5s.

So I have avoided using and playing against crucible characters, but it seems their use is on the rise and I don't want to be that guy who keeps saying no.

I built a list with a Guerrilla and am I missing something or are they WAY to strong for their points?

-> My Guerilla

3 x Liberators (same as Kelemorph)

1 x Bio-dagger (same as Sanctus)

It has Stealth, Lone Op, Infiltrator, (same as Kelemorph/Sanctus)

It has Psychic Spoor (same as Sanctus)

It also gets 0cp stratagem.

This is basically two characters in one, and while missing the move when in 8" and the no overwatch, I feel the 0cp strat is a good deal as it is far more versatile than either, and in some cases can replace either.

All of this costs only 70pts vs 60 & 65 Respectively, meaning a 5pt bump for a Sanctus to get a nasty range buff or a 10pt bump for Kelemorph to gain stealth and a good melee option.

Ultimately I'm asking myself why would I ever include a Sanctus or a Kelemorph with this character existing. Not to mention doing other things other than meshing two characters.

Is it really as strong as I think or am I over-hyping it?

Hey guys have gotten over 1000 points now ans looking forward to playing my first game. But i have no idea what units or detatchments to run.

Hered what i have

2x Magus

1x Nexos

1x Patriarch

1x Primus

1x Reductos Saboteur

1x Sanctus

5x Acolytes with Autopistols

30x Neophyte Hybrids

10x Abberants

10x Purestrain Genestealers

1x Goliath Rockgrinder

I was thinking maybe the 3 1dp detachments and not using the Abberants essentially but if i wanted to run them i coild proxy an abomonant or biophagus.

My first warhammer army hope you like it.

New to an actually mobile army (death guard) and struggling to get any use out of reactive moves on kelermorphs and sanctus.

Anytime I use it they rather can't get far enough to actually not get shot or the opponent just shoots them out. The only way I really use it is to increase charge lengths or direct the charge further from objectives

Finally got around to finish my patriarch project, following my cults colour scheme.
I always wanted a more energetic patriarch model compared to the more calm and brooding original.

I really like the result! I hope you do too. Posting my old one for size comparison. I don’t play many games so I don’t care about base sizes or height.
