Probably like $100 to $150. I'd guess on the lower end since it doesn't seem like there is that much in there. Wow 165 apparently. There must be something I'm missing in the contents. |

Cultists belong where they have always been best utilised. As the first to be consumed when the Tyranid Fleets come to the planet. Never liked them I've played Nids since 2nd edition, even back then they felt tacked on, and out of place in game of 40k. Small skirmishes against Imperial Guard infantry used as Adeptus Arbites, sure... but not Marines!

Do these boardgames have the same rules as normal 40k? Are the models usable in 40k? No and Yes. The board games have their own sets of rules. But the models are perfectly usable in 40k. |

Sure, the Rogue Trader version of the genestealer cult felt like it should only be used in skirmishes, but the post storming the armory version presented it the 2nd edition codex felt like they could go up against marines. Look at that list again, there were Leman Russ tanks, land raiders, land speeders with assault cannons(4 years before marines could take them). No limos here, more like an IG army that could pack stealers into chimeras. |

These look awesome, love the new 'old' stealers. Shame no patriach, though can't remember what his roll was.

I'm both impressed and a tad disappointed here I must say.
I'm not a big fan of the lore around Hybrids but I must say that GW have done a fantastic job with the minis.
I do however feel that they have put very little time and effort into the genestealer; From what I can see they've just done a minor rework to the carapace. Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Genestealers I just feel that GW have missed a trick here.

Cor blimey guvnor...
The day has finally arrived, images of new cultists. Looking good, not quite up to my over inflated nostalgic expectations, but good all the same.
Show me a bad ass Primarch on throne and solid 40k rules.
Even a a decent stand alone game would be good, but I really need a reason to finish painting my cult 40k army.
Fingers crossed...

Getting harder and harder as the info comes in. Hope their stats and guns aren't complete garbage.
