Or those are actually Cult Gorgons, and they're rammed full of Genestealers.

Aye. The way the Cult operates makes me like using purestrains as daemonettes, complete with summoning n stuff. Represents them exploding out of hiding to tear apart the enemies of the Cult, then disappearing back into the dark before they're proper exposed.
Of course, the giant genestealer statue on the back of the Altar kinda gives the game away...

Genestealer Cults (in the old days) used Chaos Spawn in their broods ...

And daemons.
And human bombs. Now there was one troop choice that caused arguments on the Specialist Games epic boards.

Hi!
I remember that. There was a link between them and chaos. Then again orks also worked for chaos as mercenaries.

I kind of like the old G/S Cults. I have my Chaos Cultist (ala SM1 TO&Es w/mods) able to use G/S-'Nids according to the old "Fluff" from W/Ds 114-117 & 145 (when dinosaurs roamed the earth !). And I have a copy of an article in CJ (?), for E40K G/S Cults. So I "mind-melded" (Indeed!), those together to accommodate us ! HOWever, it's all academic at this point, since all my 'Nids are SIB !  In most cases, I fill out TO&Es before I do my models !

Yes, "P", we still have Ork "Freebooterz" in our Ork and Chaos TO&Es ! And even Humies Mercs with my Orks as well as Ogryn (ala SM1 !) [ actually they are IG Special Forces, "helping" the Orks out with their enemies ! Like other Orks, Eldar, Traitor IG & SM, etc. ! ]

I've had Cult bits n pieces since they were first released, but never put together any cohesive armies.
Been meaning to play with a Stealer Cult list since E:A was released, pinching things from Cybershadow's first draft, some bits from Tim Huckleberry's 40k list, and anywhere else i could think of, as well as throwing in some oddness of my own, but not having a regular play group (kickboxing and work have got in the way of playing with both the Warhammer World 1st Company Veterans and the Notts Wargames Group), I've not much chance to playtest, and needing to lay me mitts on some epic genestealers is also not helping. A second ToXG would probably result in the doing of a Cult, but I've got at least 2 other armies to finish (1 40k, 1 FB) before I should really think about that.

The Genestealer Cult was where I properly got into GW (I had the old Beakie Marines, but these were really cool). I ordered a 40K Cult army from MO. For about 60 pounds I got a Patriarch in a Chair, a few Purestrains, some of the old metal Hybrids, a load of the original plastic Imperial Guard, Beastmen (yes, they were in a cult) and Khorne Flesh-hounds. A really cool deal... and most of them are still waiting to be painted up!

Yeah I've always liked the cult armies too Cybershadow. I picked up some of the hybrids, another magus and a patriarch a few weeks ago... don't know whether I will ever get enough to do something with them though!

I'm probably going to use some 6mm Scotia aliens with hvy wpns added for hybrids or maybe some 6mm GZG Kra'vak ...  And I have 3 Patriarch models, from the old Chaos Familiars line. But I remember talking about this before !
