Hi All

Looking to take this list tomorrow.

Any ideas on tightening it up?

1. Inner Circle (Garrison + Overwatch)
- Patriarch
- Extended Family

2. Brood Brothers (Garrison + Overwatch)
- Brood Brother Fire Support

3. Brood Brothers (BTS)
- Magus
- Hybrids
- Civ Vehicles x6

4. Brood Brothers
- Civ Vehicles x6

5. Purestrains (Garrison)
- Brood Lord

6. Purestrains (Garrison)
7. Hydra x3
8. Basilisks x3
9. Leman Russ x6
10. Lictors (Teleport)
11. PDF Fighters
12. PDF Fighters

12 activations. I would have liked more but I thought that beefier units were more important than the one or two extra activations.

list seems viable enough for me, you've basically got your bases covered. havent got any actual experience with the list yet, but this looks like a pretty decent build.

Played this today.

Although the opponent conceded after his Assault Terminators failed in their assault, there were some areas of the list that really worried me.

Firstly the opponent's list;

Imperial Fists
Achilles Land Raiders
Devastators + Crusaders
Devastators + Crusaders
Vindicators
Vindicators
Reaver Titan
Thunderbolt Fighters
Thunderbolt Fighters
Assault Terminators


If it was not the fact that I won the initiative vs the Marines (a daunting task at best), the game would have continued to be a shooting gallery where the Genestealer Cult simply could not compete, let alone move forward. Winning the initiative allowed me to risk 2 actions both at a 3+ roll to charge and luckily win 2 combats (Lictors vs Vindicators and Brood Brothers vs Vindicators) to kill off the Marine activation count for the coming turns. We worked out the the Genestealer Cult at this time may have won on turn 3 (T&H + Blitz) or attained a draw - all dependant on whether activation rolls were made.

I will continue my thoughts in the Genestealer development here: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=21892&start=45

There is 40K version in a very old WD 145, I have. And there is an Epic List very in an old Citadel Journal ... I sort of have a WIP "straw man" version of my own based upon those two sources ... ;D
