New rules

All metamorph weapons are AP 5 and each weapon has a rule:
Claw = Crush: A model equiped with a metamorph claw has a +2 bonus to its strength during the fight sub-phase
Talon = Scythe: A model equiped with a metamorph talon has a +1 bonus to its WS during the fight sub-phase. A model equiped with two metamorph talons has a +2bonus to its WS during the fight sub-phase instead.
Whip = Lash: A model equiped with a weapon with this special rule has a +3 bonus to its initiative during the fight sub-phase.

From this it looks like they combine with rending claws

From Dakka, Kurt Angle2

These are the relics:

Icon of the Cult Ascendant
Friendly units that have the Genestealer Cult Faction and are withing 12" of a model equipped with the Icon of the Cult Ascendant have the Furious Charge special rule and can re-roll failed Morale, Pinning and Fear tests. In addition, models in the same unit as the Icon of the Cult Ascendant have +1 whilst the bearer is alive


Dagger of Swift Sacrifice
Strenght User, AP -, Melee, Istant Death, Poisoned 2+

Scourge of Distant Stars
Whilst in a challenge with the bearer, the opponent must first make a Toughness test. If the opponent does not pass such test, he immediately takes a Wound with any kind of save allowed and gets his Attacks and Initiative characteristics reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 1) until the end of the Fight subphase-


Staff of the Subterrenean Master
Range 18", Strenght 2, AP -, Assault 10, Ignores Cover, Rending


Sword of the Void's Eye
Strenght +1, AP 3, Melee, Bio-sentience (Reroll failed To Hit and To Wound rolls of 1), Life Drain (Istant Death on a To Wound roll of 6)


The Crouchling
Adds another +2 Strenght 4, AP -, Rending melee attacks (perhaps stackable with both the 2 familiars you can take for every character) and gives you another ADDITIONAL (so only Patriarch and Magus) Psychic power at the start of the game

From Kazatende (sorry if I spelt it wrong) on The Tyranid Hive.

A bit of info from a phonecall, the guy was pouring over the codex a few hours ago:

We have a fomation that lets us roll multiple dice for cult ambush rule. If boss (assume patriarch) is in is 3 dice otherwise 2 dice pick which you want.

IC with 12" 6+ feel no pain banner, if you have fnp already its a +1 to fnp. Endurance from the bio psychic tree is available - assume BRB access.

Everything, or almost everything other than vehicles have cult ambush.

I wasn't sure what else to ask and I was pretty happy knowing psychic battery Nids could create a viable list. Rest of it I'll be waiting for codex release to study.

From Tyranid607 on Dakka. Might be a repeat, can't remember if I put this down or not.

1. goliath rockgrrinder default come with heavy stubber + heavy mining laser + drilldozer blade, can replace mining laser with clearance incinerator or heavy seismic cannon
Heavy mining laser 36" S9 AP2 Heavy 1
Heavy seismic 0-12" S8 AP3 Heavy 2 / 12-24" S5 AP4 Heavy 6, with special rule To wound roll or APen roll of 6 always resolved at AP1
drilldozer blade is very interesting to me, it auto pass dangerous terrain test + RAMS enemy vehicle add an extra D6 to S to hit, if cause pen hit add 1 to result of damage table and when performs a tank shock, each enemys the vehicle reach must take a intiative test before taking a morale check. if int test is passed, the unit avoid the cutter but if fail, the enemy suffer D3 S10 Ap2 hit. if enemy unit make a death or glory attack on drilldozer vehicle and fail to stop it, the unit suffer an additional D3 S10 AP2 hit

2. all hybrid and genestealer can do cult ambush and return to shadows, no detechments is needed

3. Iconward other then the sacred relics it can choose to carry
the banner give freindly unit of generstealer faction within 12" gain furious charge and feel no pain(6+) if model already have feel no pain then 1+ to it

4.the stat of Metamorphs and Acolyte Hybrid is very similar, one can take heavy rock cutter/drill/saw, which is basically power fist with special ability, the other one is +2S in sub fight or +3I or +2 ws depends on what it is carrying

From Oldone on Dakka

so reading that blurry pic from bols vid, relics are:
dagger of swift sacrifice
staff of subterranean mastery
icon of cult ascension
sword of v**** eye
c****
scourge of D**** stars?

Also our psykers have access to biomancy(sp?) telepathy and broodmind but start level one and can only buy to level 2

On dakka from Caederes from BoLS video

Watching that video BoLS posted up...we got full rules now! I'll do a summary for anyone that is anti-BoLS or doesn't have the time to watch it.

Their super-detachment is as normal, 1-6 Core, 1+ Auxiliary, 0-3(?) Command. You can't have more than one Patriarch, Magus and Primus in the Cult Insurrection detachment (super detachment) which is a bummer. Patriarch gets a codex warlord trait re-roll, all non-vehicle units gets Infiltrate, if they already have Infiltrate then they get Shrouded for the first game turn, you add 1 to reserve rolls and enemies subtract 1 from reserve rolls. All units that arrive from ongoing reserves gain D6 models back that were killed earlier in the game.

The two Core formations are very different; one has most of the units in the codex, the other is Neophyte Hybrids and the IG tanks - mandatory Leman Russ squadron and Sentinel squadrons.

THE STATS FOR THE MODELS HAVE CHANGED SINCE DEATHWATCH OVERKILL!

The Patriarch is now 90 points but is Strength 6, starts off as a ML1 psyker but can buy ML2, can buy two Familiars on the cheap and gets access to Biomancy, Broodmind and Telepathy. He also confers Fearless to all friendly Genestealer Cult units within 12". Yikes!

The Magus is 40, comes with Adamantium Will and Infiltrate now, is ML1 base but can pay for ML2 and gets the same disciplines as the Patriarch, he also gives Adamantium Will to all Genestealer Cult units within 12". Yikesx2!

Chimera and Sentinel data-shoots look identical to the Astra Militarum versions, still BS3.

Goliath rules confirmed per Tyranid607, the normal Goliath is an open-topped transport!

The First Curse formation does the following; 1 Patriarch, 1 Purestrain Genestealer unit, you roll a D6 before the start of the game and add the result to the Purestrain Genestealers for the whole game; 1: they get assault grenades, 2: they get 4+ armor, 3: they get Poisoned melee attacks, 4: they get Rage, 5: they get Preferred Enemy, 6: you pick which one you want.

That small Core formation I mentioned earlier with the Neophytes and IG tanks does the following; Neophytes have to take Chimeras as DTs, all vehicles get Outflank and the Scout Sentinels get Cult Ambush (this works with that restore D6 models rule in the Cult Insurrection detachment???), ignores stunned and shaken on a 4+.

They also show the profiles at the back (meaning stats only) here's what we got;
Acolyte Iconward; basically a Primus but only 2 wounds and LD9. Primus; now has WS5 and 3 Wounds. The stats for Acolytes and Neophytes remain the same, they now have unit leaders with +1 Leadership and Attacks. Weapon Teams for Neophytes are in and are the same as IG except for +1 Initiative and LD just like the actual Neophytes. Metamorphs look to have the same stats as Acolyte Hybrids but are Elites, presumably they will have extra special rules and nastier weapons. Purestrain Genestealers look to have 3 attacks base now but are otherwise the same.

The weapons list confirms that the Leman Russ variants in the standard Leman Russ kit are the only ones available. The Clearance Incinerator is a S5 AP4 Torrent Template weapon. The Heavy Mining Laser is just a Mining Laser with 36" range. The Heavy Seismic Cannon is either Heavy 3(or 2?) and S8 AP3 at 0-12", or S5(?) AP4 Heavy 6 at 12-24", and both have the "Resonance" or something akin to that special rule. Normal Seismic Cannon is the same, just with one less shot in the first profile and two less shots in the second profile. The Webber weapons fire blasts and are S3 (pistol) and S4 (rifle), they also have some over special rule that looks to be different to the one the Seismic Cannons have. The Rock Cutter, Rock Drill and Rock Saw are all basically power fists, the cutter has some special rule I can't make out (maybe Shred?), the drill has "Pulverize", the saw has Armorbane, all of them are two-handed. Metamorph weapons now, they are all S: user but have different special rules, it looks like at least one of them is AP3 and their special rules seem to be unique/new. There's also something called a Power xxx or something that is Unwieldy, Two Handed, AP2, I can't make out the strength and has a few special rules.

Sept 24

www.facebook.com/WarhammerTVteam/videos/255950638133255/ GW TV, writers of the GSC codex.

Phil Kelly background writer. Simon Grant, rules writer.

Now I am under the impression these are the people who did the GSC codex, but now I am wondering while watching the video, if they are just GW writers but didn't write the codex or rules but just giving their opinions.

Thank you Tomb for this.

*edit* Tyranid 607 has deleted his posts now. Was he serious, or did he say something he shouldn't have?

Also from the same poster regarding a quick glimpse at the codex:

Just a quick look at it
I think it is sentinel , Leman Russ Demolisher and another walker like sentinel

The mining tank(can't remember the name) is a tranport asssult tank , get something like tank shock attack at the front side

Web gun resolves it ap base on the target S (e.g. Space Marie at S4 = AP4)

Purestrain Genestealer is WS6 S4 I6 with claw better than rending claw and can go into ongoing reserve at movement phase

Sorry guys so many pics when I was away. Not feeling good, not having my laptop handy, can't update on all the pics that just came in. Links are on page 10 and 11 from other members of The Tyranid Hive. Thanks guys for posting them.

Found this interesting though. From Dakkadakka poster Tyranid607

Just have a chance to look into the codex, other than the 3 units in pre-order, there is a new tank(yes the mining tank) releasing next week . You get a few IG tanks and walker in the codex. And all other unit is all in the overwatch boxset( lack of upgrade parts)

The purestrain genestealer is better than what you get in nids dex.
And it will be kind expensive to build up a 1500pts army as most of them are only 6-13pts(can't remember), only the aberrants cost 30pts each

From The Tyranid Hive. From poster Hopewell, Thank you very much.

Just seen this week's retail brief to UK stores; Not included in the rumours I've seen thus far are the addition of a Cult Icon in the Neophytes, which seems to resemble a standard bearer. Seismic cannon looks interesting, grav anyone?

Very cool to see! As whacky as 40k has become over the last year, I feel like things are moving in a better direction slowly but steadily.

[Davor]

Looking forward to this. Was hoping it would be more than just Imperium but also in the Tau empire and others as well. Let's hope there will be a lot of variety.

[krede]

Only having access to an army specific psy-lore can really mess up the codex. Just look at the nid one

[gigasnail]

The difference is GSC is good on its own and doesn't rely on scream/catalyst like nids do. Telepathy is just a bonus.

[krede]

Let's hope they don't take telepathy away

[gigasnail]

For sure, it's nice.

[bolk]

Yeah, that was the first thing that came to my mind when I read about a new discipline for GSC. Really hope they don't take that ray of sunlight away.

[jaigo]

Not being able to get the probably limited stuff like objective tokens really bum me out.

Will ofc try and preorder... but it might mean cutting my lgs out.

I am excited
But already get frustrated from the "need" and want to get my hands on everything.
There usually is no time to look at what is in the dex or cards before deciding if it is usefull.

[hopewell]

Can't tell if we're being trolled around access to Astra Mil or not. Could be a winner, could just open us up to all their dross haha

[mattblowers]

If a unique power tree is decent and that allows us to be BB, I'm down for it.

Giving GSC access to ap 2 weapons gives it to Tyranids. AP3 and AP2 shooting has been one of the weakness of our codex. If this lets me ally in some... Works for me!!
