6th Edition Genestealer Cult Army List (First Bash Anyway...)

Here's my first bash at a genestealer cult list for 6th edition. This has been designed with a 10-12 game narrative (non-competative) campaign against my brother's Blood Angels (and allies) in mind. A few early WIP photos to follow this week, before I have a week on holiday - with my paints thank goodness! - when I should be able to make some substantial progress. I imagine that this list will be added to in some way over the coming months, very possibly with the introduction of some Renegade Rough Riders led by a stand-in for Mogul Kamir - these guys would be seriously nasty on the charge. 

Genestealer cult army list - (around 1500 points)

Primary Detachment (Imperial Guard Codex)

Genestealer Magus (Primaris Psyker)
3 x Cult Priests (Ministorum) deployed with the Cultist Squads)

    1. Thanks Ben - yes I've seen this and it's really impressive. Good to see a completely different take on the cult to the way I'll be going.
