Warhammer 40,000 Datacards: Genestealer Cults

Containing the seven psychic powers of the Broodmind Discipline from Codex: Genestealer Cults, and 36 Tactical Objective cards (including the 6 unique Genestealer Cults Tactical Objectives from the Codex).

How to Paint Citadel Miniatures: Genestealer Cults

How to Paint Citadel Miniatures: Genestealer Cults is a fantastic, comprehensive introduction to painting Genestealer Cults miniatures, taking the reader through the basics of the Citadel Painting System with step-by step guides. Each guide shows you how to achieve the results using either layering techniques or drybrushing, and is perfect for anyone looking to make their Genestealer Cults miniatures look as good as they can!

Guides to the colour schemes of 7 specific Cults are included:

– The Pauper Princes
– The Bladed Cog
– The Blessed Wormlings
– Sons of Jormungandr
– The Cult of the Four-Armed Emperor
– The Hivecult
– The Cult Hydraic

the 104-page Codex: Genestealer Cults, containing

– comprehensive information on the Genestealer Cults, the gruesome and frankly unsettling story of their rise from a single organism to unstoppable, planet-devouring insurrection;
– rules for Genestealer Cults miniatures, the scavenged weapons they use to slaughter their victims, and army-building lists allowing for Hybrid and Brood Brother cultists drawn from the Astra Militarum;
– formations that make use of both the Genestealer Cults and Astra Militarum ranges, with notes on the wargear that Genestealer Cults scavenge and use for their own sinister ends;
– 6 new Tactical Objectives and the complete Broodmind Discipline: new Psychic Powers used by Magi and Patriarchs;
– the Cult Ambush rule: dependent on a dice roll, Genestealer Cults units can set up anywhere on the table, deploy and charge in the same turn, and burst from their hidden lairs to surprise and engulf the enemies of the Cult;
– a showcase of beautifully-painted Citadel miniatures, presenting the colours and icons of the Cults that lurk below,

and a set of Genestealer Cults Dice.

Codex: Genestealer Cults $50

60030117001_GenestealerCultsCodexStdEdENG01

Vile chanting fills the air, marked by blood-chilling shrieks of alien beasts – the xenos creed shall rise! Thousands of cultist voices are raised in prayer to their Patriarch, a living god from beyond the stars. Shadows in the distance become a seething tide, a living wave of hybrid creatures that boils out from dank and slimy lairs. Vehicles modified with whatever weapons can be cobbled together careen around the horde’s flanks, delivering yet more terror. Sinister, charismatic leaders cast dominion over their enemies as well as their underlings. The Cult has long-prepared for this day of reckoning, and its swollen ranks will surely conquer the world.

This 104-page, full-colour hardback Codex features a wealth of gaming content:

Subterranean Uprising $120

99020117003_GenestealerSubterraneanUprisingBundle01

Beneath the surface of the prey world the uprising hunts unseen. The most physically powerful of the cult’s hybrids are gathered by their Primus before the battle, united by a gestalt will to swarm as one like scuttling insects on the march. They move into a preordained position before bursting onto the battlefield in a critical strike upon a valuable target: the command position of the foe, or a well-defended artillery emplacement. From the darkness these born killers erupt, boiling out from sewer grates and hidden crypts with claws clacking and weapon-limbs thrashing. The enemy, previously oblivious, scramble to react to the sudden ferocity of the Primus’ secret strike. So swift is the broodspawn’s assault that few adversaries can land a telling blow before they are cut to pieces.

This bundle contains the miniatures necessary to assemble the Subterranean Uprising, a formation found in Codex: Genestealer Cults. You’ll receive a 5-man set of Hybrid Metamorphs and 2 5-man sets of Acolyte Hybrids!

 

Genestealer Cults Acolyte & Neophyte Hybrids $80

99020117007_GenestealerCultHybridBundle01

By the time a Genestealer Cult launches its insurrection, its Neophyte Hybrids make up a horde of thousands. Weathered and toughened by a life of hard labour, each cultist features the inhuman reactions and strength their alien genes gift them. Acolyte Hybrids are equally vile progenies of the Genestealer Cults, crawling up to the surface and into the sunlight, their grotesque faces twisted in subhuman glee.

This bundle contains the components necessary to assemble a unit each of Acolyte and Neophyte Hybrids. You’ll receive a box of 10 Neophyte Hybrids, armed with autoguns, autopistols and blasting charges, and a box of 5 Acolyte Hybrids armed with autopistols, close combat weapons, blasting charges and rending claws. Supplied with 15 Citadel 32mm Round bases.

 

Acolyte Hybrids $85

99120117003_GenestealerAcolyteHybrids01

Basking in the sheer alien glory of the patron that infected them, Acolyte Hybrids croon and hiss in the gloom. When the time comes to throw off the torn robes they use to disguise their foulness, the Acolyte Hybrids crawl up to the surface and into the sunlight, their grotesque faces twisted in subhuman glee. They display a bizarre blend of the species from which they hail – the speed of a Purestrain Genestealer twinned with human cunning is a potent combination. These hybrids fire off volleys of pistol fire, before descending on the enemy in a riot of claws, close combat weapons and screamed praise to their masters.

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 5 Acolyte Hybrids, armed with autopistols, close combat weapons, blasting charges and rending claws. Included are hand flamers, a heavy rock saw, a heavy rock drill (with backpack), a heavy rock cutter and options for an Acolyte Leader – this model can use one of 2 special heads, and can be armed with a bonesword and lashwhip.

This kit can optionally be used to assemble 5 Hybrid Metamorphs. Supplied with 5 Citadel 32mm Round bases.

 

Hybrid Metamorphs $40

99120117003_GenestealerMetamorphs01

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 5 Hybrid Metamorphs, armed with autopistols, Metamorph talons, blasting charges and rending claws. Included are hand flamers, a heavy rock saw, a heavy rock drill (with backpack), a heavy claw cutter and options for an Metamorph Leader – this model can use one of 2 special heads, and can be armed with a bonesword. Supplied with 5 Citadel 32mm Round bases.

This kit can optionally be used to assemble 5 Acolyte Hybrids. Supplied with 5 Citadel 32mm Round bases.

 

Neophyte Hybrids $40

99120117004_GenestealerNeophytes01

By the time a Genestealer Cult launches its insurrection, its Neophyte Hybrids make up a horde of thousands. Weathered and toughened by a life of hard labour, each cultist features the inhuman reactions and strength their alien genes gift them. These third and fourth generation hybrids can pass as human – sinisterly, some can even infiltrate the Astra Militarum, such are their blessings. When the cult signals their attack, Neophytes swarm from sewers, catacombs and shadowy barracks, overwhelming their enemies and seizing control of entire planets within hours.

This multi-part plastic box set contains all the components necessary to assemble 10 Genestealer Cult Neophyte Hybrids, armed with autoguns, autopistols and blasting charges. Any model can replace their autogun with a shotgun – 10 are included – and 2 models can take special weapons chosen from a seismic cannon, heavy stubber or mining laser.

One model can be upgraded to a Neophyte Leader, armed with either a web pistol, autopistol or bolt pistol and a chainsword, power pick or close combat weapon. One model can take a Cult icon.

Supplied with 10 Citadel 25mm Round bases and 2 Citadel 32mm Round bases.

Genestealer Cults Dice $20

The tales and legends of the Silver Tower are numerous indeed; each recalling a different band of unlikely allies, champions finding themselves banding together in the lair of a Gaunt Summoner of Tzeentch. Some seek the glory of a boon from the Gaunt Summoner, others wish to learn his true name and thus strike him down – all must navigate the sheer horror of the Silver Tower.

Only the greatest champions of both good and evil can hope to succeed. These five heroes have found themselves subject to the Gaunt Summoner’s ever-shifting domain:

– a Grey Seer;
– a Chaos Sorceror;
– a Knight-Heraldor;
– a Sorceress;
– and a Skink Priest.

This box set contains five plastic Citadel miniatures, with rules for use in games of Warhammer Quest Silver Tower. Includes 2 Citadel 25mm Round bases, 2 Citadel 32mm Round bases, and a Citadel 40mm Round base.

“That’s all folks!”
