OK, so this week it’s all about the alien loving traitor. The worst filth possible.
On 24th September we will get a 104 page codex for Genestealer Cults.
Lots of background, full army list (well duh!) but with Astra Militarum – converstion gallore commence!
The Cults will get their own six objectives (available to buy as well), 8 new formations, looted wargear. On top of that they will get Broodmind Discipline (Hivemind equivalent?) and psychic powers, seven of them.
Painting tutorials as well on schemes and iconography.
Of course there will be some miniature boxes as well, some re-released some with new frames (Hybrids).

Genestealer Rumor Roundup
The final hour approaches!
Looks like another Genestealer cult is in full swing as Games Workshop had another teaser for us over the weekend. This time however there is more to go on for all the citizens of the Imperium!

The Insidious Curse.
Crawling out from the cold, dank corners of the Imperial underworld come the Genestealer Cults. Secretive, stealthy, and utterly malignant, they are the cankers growing unseen in the hidden spaces of Humanity’s realm.
It’s Coming!
Old Favorites Returning?
Possible New Vehicle?
The End.
Overall this teaser looks great. I imagine that from the images of armored soldiers and vehicle that we will in fact see cult soldiered models, just like we saw a drop pod in the Deathwatch teaser video that was indeed later released as well.
Will we see Genestealer cults (and perhaps more importantly new soldier models) coming next week? Only time and the four armed Emperor will tell….
