I´m trying to build a battleforged list for a genestealer cult. The patriarch and the purestrain will be the broodlord hunting pack formation. The issue with being come the apocalypse allies ist minimized through their special rules for getting on the field.
But how could I get an army of hybrids and infected humans?
First thought was using imperial quard, but their military organisation doesn´t feel quite right. And there´s no good way for fielding hybrids. What I would like are the tauroxes for transports and the opportunity to field a tank or two.
Orks could be fitting for Hybrids and their transports would fit too. But they have allies issues with human armies except chaos space marines. That would leave me with either chaos cultists or grots for infected humans but no fitting option for a magus, as neither a ork weirdboy nor a chaos sorcerer in his power armour feel right.
The last Idea I had was the inquisition. An Inquisitor would be a nice stand-in for a Magus, and the possibilities of the henchmen are near endless. The army could look as follows:
Broodlord hunting pack formation
Combined Arms detachment imperial guard:
Lord commissar as mandatory HQ
Veterans as better equipped brood brothers or maybe as infected arbites, normal guardsmen as brood brothers and conscripts as initiates
some tauroxes as stand-in for non military vehicles
a tank or two
Inquisitorial detachment:
Inquisitor as Magus
arco-flagellants as Hybrids, perhaps crusaders as arbites with shields and power mauls
What do you think?
