Finally were starting to see some of the new Genestealer unit rules from their codex!

Hmm not too bad lvl 2 is good. Looks like GW isn’t making a separate kit for the Patriarch and the Magus as this is the model from the Overkill box set!!
No frag grenades???
- If the Patriarch is the Warlord, you can reroll traits.
- Any vehicle unit has not Infiltration rule; if you already had the Darkened rule also gains during the first game turn. Additionally, he adds +1 to reserve rolls, and your opponent has a -1
- Each time a unit comes from the reserves, you can add 1d6 minis that have previously been removed from the unit as loss.

The Story Thus Far:
BoLS’s exclusive codex coverage seems to be getting dissected and broken down on other sites as “news”, but who can blame them really this codex is hot. Checkout some of the screen caps from their video yesterday that showcases the new weapons of the cults!

Two types of demo charges look fun, and of course the mining laser is back too. So far so good for the visitors from the void. Now lets get a look at some of the units!
Looks like some pretty rad powers are on the way. Checkout this list of the new disciplines collected from around the net including 4chan.
Broodmind Psychic Discipline
Primaris: Mass Hypnosis: Malediction that causes a chosen unit within 24″ to drop it’s WS, BS, I & A by -1.
- Psychic Stimulus: Blessing that grants the unit Fleet and Relentless, also allows them to charge after running.
- Psionic Blast: Witchfire, 24″ S5 AP3 Assault 1, Blast
- Might From Beyond: Blessing, a target unit within 24″ gains S+1 and Rage
- Mental Onslaught: Focused Witchfire, compare Ld values and add D6. On a draw, the target suffers -3 Initiative for a turn. If the psyker wins, the target takes the difference in wounds.
- Mind Control: Malediction. Choose a single non-vehicle model and make a shooting attack as if it were yours.
- Telepathic Summons: Conjuration, WC 2/3. Choose 2 or 3, create a single unit . If you expend 2WC = 5 Acolyte or 5 Metamorphs or 10 Neophyte, 3WC and it’s 10 Acolyte or 10 Metamorphs or 20 Neophyte or 4 aberants or 8 genestealer, these model can be equipped with any upgrades listed on their data sheet as per the summoning rules.
Well that’s quite the step up psychic wise. Man even that primaris power is pretty solid, plus checkout Mind Control – Bye Bye Tau Bad guys. I think the #3 is great for assaulty type builds and if you need to reinforce drop the summons.
Still a few BIG questions remain like who can they ally with and what level Psykers can they get. I assume up to level 3 BUT how many is the question….
New pictures this morning from October’s White Dwarf. Checkout all the new Genestealer kits for this week that will be on the way soon, plus a new genestealer upgrade sprue to make it rain purple!
