These miniatures are test and practice sclupts from new studio people.

You can also see a Llamassu and a re-sculpted Eldar Avatar. These will never go on sale unfortunately.

There was some rumours of a cult list based around the following leak on warseer

286010311080200 Cult Hybrid Upgrade Pack PL a10 XianD 02 cc
286011130110208 Patriarch Dumas, The Veiled Fiend RE c01 Len_B 02 cc

This has been claimed both as a legitimate leak over which someone lost their job and an elaborate hoax and don't pay any attention.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Cheers

That's definitely a Magus there, but it's so close to the original model if not identical I do see how it could be a test sculpt from an older player.

The current book really doesn't show much care for the Genestealer Cult, even going so far as to claim Broodlords and Patriarchs are the same thing (look under the Genestealer entry). However, as the Warseer leak shows you only really need a Patriarch or Magus model and an upgrade kit to get people spending money on what are essentially new models for a Tyranid army (if they are indeed Tyranid Allies), so it wouldn't be that bad a business strategy given what other models they're happy to spend money producing...

Take that as you will.

I rather have rewritten rules for our T4 units to make the other half of the Tyranid codex viable to deploy, than option to expand my roster with C'tulhu-esque Imperial Guardsmen and Spezz Mahreens. (please do not swear) that.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away

We both know GW better than that. The prospect of a cult is the only option of the two that has any possibility of actually happening...
