It’s 40k Morphin Time! If you love the Mighty Morphin Power Randers, you don’t want to miss these hilarious parody featuring the Genestealer Cults that are on the rise!
All of these GSC products are going to be available on February 9th and we still have yet to see all of the fine details of these units get previewed. Keep in mind that there’s still time for GW to throw us a bone! However, hype for the faction is only getting stronger as we close in on the Codex release.
MetaMorphin’ Cultists Arise
Check out the video that Giga-Bites cafe made on their Facebook!

Hilariously enough, the Cultists are all painted to similar colors from the Power Rangers. Imagine making planetfall out of a Drop pod and seeing a band of Neophytes in tights cartwheeling around poorly-placed explosive charges. You’d just need to call in an Exterminatus and hope that no one saw anything.
Now let’s check out the pre-orders of wave one, which you may just want to order from Giga-Bites cause of all the time they put into this video!
Atalan Jackals: $55
Atalan Jackals are your basic Neophyte Hybrids that chose to ride into battle with some dirtbikes and ATVs. For every four Bikes, you can take the ATV called the Wolfquad. He’s your “heavy weapons guy” of the unit. The Atalan Jackals are lucky enough to get their own HQ unit as well.
Jackal Alphus: $35
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
The Jackal Alphus is the HQ unit for her Jackals. She comes loaded with a sniper that can really pack a punch. But perhaps her best use is to just target units for everyone around her to hit better. She sort of acts like a Spotter more than a Sniper.
Codex: Genestealer Cults: $40
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
Able to ally with the Tyranids, or even include corrupted Astra Militarum Detachments, the Genestealer Cults are a rewarding army and a worthy addition to your collection of codexes.
This codex comes with a token sheet for keeping track of the Cult Ambush rules. Rather than deploy your army, you’ll deploy the included Ambush markers, allowing you to tailor your deployment and prey upon the weak spots in your opponent’s line. Additionally, you’ll find a range ruler for setting up units from reserve.
Locus: $25
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
This guy is the hidden bodyguard to other Cult characters. He may not look like much, but if an enemy unit gets too close to one of your characters, he can heroic intervene for 6″ and explode into a flurry of attacks. He also gets to fight first.
Magus: $25
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
This Magus is just an alternate model from the one that already exists inside the Broodcoven pack. She can be modeled either with a dagger or skull in her hand to create a more dynamic flow over your army.
Nexos: $25
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
The Nexos is the ultimate planner on the battlefield. They have thought of every possible scenario and have memorized the battlefield for whatever problems may arise during the day of ascension. In-game, he can let you redeploy your Blip tokens as well as generate you CP.
Tectonic Fragdrill: $60
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
With Genestealer Cults usually being found on industrial worlds, it only makes sense that the Cult would want to commandeer something like the Tectonic Fragdrill. This thing is going to operate like a terrain piece with rules. Even if you don’t have a use for it on the table, it would make a fantastic accent piece to your diorama.
Brood Brothers: $40
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
Guardsmen are just as prone to getting infected with the Cults ideations as the next person. If they do get infected and are converted into synapse via the Patriarch’s Broodmind, the effectively become Brood Brothers. These guys operate as Guardsmen during the day but help bring forth the Cults plans at night.
Genestealer Cults Dice: $30
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
This is a set of 20 6-sided 16mm dice. Designed with square edges, these dice have grey bodies with a purple gem swirl effect on each face and the pips picked out in red. Each dice features the icon of the Genestealers Cults on the ‘1’ face – this matches the original Genestealer Cults dice set, so if you have the original set you can use both together without any confusion.
Sanctus: $25
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
Sanctuses are the favoured blades of their Patriarch, assassins whose task it is to eliminate any who oppose the cultists’ ascension to glory. Like creeping shadows they slip into the most heavily guarded facilities, seeking out their targets and eliminating them with merciless precision.
The Sanctus is a specialist assassin in your Genestealer Cults army, capable of appearing from nowhere and slaying your enemy’s favourite characters. Incredibly difficult to pin down or hit, he’s a fantastic disruption unit.
Clamavus: $25
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
Datacards: Genestealer Cults: $15
Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!
Plan your day of ascension and manage your insurrection with these handy reference cards! This pack contains 36 Tactical Objective cards, 7 psychic power cards, and 28 Stratagem cards. Each set is great for quickly referring to your rules, making sure you’ll pick the right Stratagem or psychic powers for your battles with ease.
