Genestealer Cult & Deathwatch Roundup

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

Both Deathwatch and Genestealer Cults would be perfect for Khorne Daemonkin style codexes - a remix of existing kits and rules (albeit with some new models thrown in, in their case).

[Mr Mystery]

Don't forget, when the Nids arrive, the Cult are the first into the digestion pools.

Eh, that part of the fluff's begging for some progression (since Tyranids and Tau seem to be the two factions allowed tech and tactical development). Just throw in a line about Hivefleets finding they have greater invasion success if they eat the Cult after eating everyone else.

[Mr Mystery]

Nah. Quickest way to get a bit of fast adaptation in - scoff some willing locals, especially as there may be some element of genetic memory from the Genestealer DNA.

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

By the time 'nids start eating anything, they've already infested much of the local plant/animal life - any need for local adaptation can be satisfied there.

From a gaming perspective, having them be allies seems like more fun than disallowing it. Probably not Battle Brothers; don't want Tyranids carting around in tanks, but I'd love to see giddy cultists fighting alongside their six-limbed angels.

Deathwatch Kill Team Kit

Kit is built atop the Plastic Sternguard kit

Includes an additional Deathwatch sprue loaded with Killteam bits including:

- Over a dozen shoulderpads (Half Deathwatch logos, half various chapter logos)

- New Deathwatch heads

- Multiple Deathwatch equipment back/powerpacks

- Unique Killteam weapons (both shooting and assault)

- Deathwatch pouches, seals, etc, minor bits.

that would be very cool

[Mr Mystery]

Hate to say it, but that seems a little like 'stating the bleeding obvious'

But as ever happy to be proved wrong.

[Houghten]

Given "Birds in the Trees"'s batting average on the Knights, I'm just going to completely fail to get excited about anything in that quote box.

I like both [url=http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?49607-Deathwatch-Army]Deathwatch[/url], and [url=http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2014/05/40k-lore-genestealer-cults.html]Genestealer Cults[/url]. A lot. So I hope this is true.

Oh how I hope this is all true.
