need a good gene stealer list

[TheHiveKing]

I really love genestealers. they were the main reason  i picked up nids. i need to know if there are any good lists using genestealers out there.

There is an argument to be made for throwing in some manufactorum stealers as an MSU scoring/denial strategy, but, no, generally stealers ate kind of bad in regular 40k right now. They just cosy too much and die too easily.

God how I miss my 5th edition outflanking stealers...
If they release a formation allowing that again...the shouts of joy across the world from 'nid players will be deafening...

Er.. you can outflank as much as you want with your Genestealers today. If you meant 'assault from reserves' then yes I agree. Wouldn't be a shocker of Nids got some of that back, in the wake of the Skyhammer formation. Prepare to be disappointed though.

Genestealers currently only purpose is as MSU scoring units with Infiltration that don't need babysitting. And they aren't particular good at it either.

You might think that we should be able to build some kind of pressure list with Manufactorum formation in a Lictorshame style list, but unfortunately there are the popular 3pts Servo Skulls that can be spammed by taking cheap Inquisition allies, that completely shut your tactic down.

You can use the 'deploy from reserve in a ruin/building formation I guess. Broodlord hunting pack I think it was.

[N.I.B.]

Yeah, but enemy units can deny that by being within 6" so not too hard to block. A blanket 'assault from reserves' would put Stealers back on the map immediately.

I've been using a unit of stealers hidden in my comms relay bunker. Having an armour 14 obsec bunker holding a backfield objective has done me proud. Plus stealers inside stops bad units being able to contest it because the stealers can assault out of the bunker.

I will caveat though: the rest of the army is 6 flyrants.
