Come see just how good the mini hive mind’s psychic powers will be for the Genestealer cults army list, and some ideas with how to use them!
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….

Here’s the larger cropped images that are going around Facebook:
Looks like there are several versions of the the vehicle that everyone has dubbed “the limo”. One seems to have drilling augurs on the front dozer. One seems to be an open topped transport, and one has an armored top with some sort of heavy weapon.
More as we know it folks, this kit is quickly turning into a fan favorite and we don’t even know it’s name yet.
