Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Combat Patrol: Genestealer Cults

Product Information

We are without number. Our Faith is unshakeable. We carry in us the blood of true Gods. And they will welcome us to their loving embrace. It’s only in the final moments, when those so-called Star Children arrive around an infested world, that the Broodmind link is dropped. In that moment, the hapless cultists see their Star Children for what they truly are: an invading Tyranid force who only see humanity as genetic material to be consumed and digested – cultist or no. At this point we’ve got a barebones list with a lot of bodies. We’re still under 2k and but haven’t spent any points on wargear. You could add in more bodies or more characters or more vehicles. But I think this is a good core for a new army/collection. Alternatively, your INFANTRY and BIKERS can set up Underground, arriving from Reinforcements. Unlike other Reinforcements though, you have two options when you appear-

If you’ve skipped the rest of the our suggestions please don’t pass over this one: Buy and read the codex. It’s important you do this above all else because this army is complicated. As you read through you’re going to find things about the army you like and those choices could take you in a completely different direction that what we’ve suggested above. That’s okay. In fact, that’s kind of the point! We’ve added some Kataphron Destroyers to the Start Collecting! Adeptus Mechanicus box, adding a choice of serious firepower to supplement the Skitarii Rangers’ galvanic rifles. Able to shoot their heavy weapons on the move without penalty, the Kataphrons can bombard the enemy with fire while the Skitarii advance in their Skorpius Dunerider to capture objectives. Thankfully, Games Workshop agrees, which is why it’s provided free Genestealer Cults Necromundarules– allowing you to take your genetically twisted army with you when you visit the Hive. The classic “Blips”, letting you set up a marker instead of deploying the whole unit, allowing you to effectively hide your deployment from your opponent.Here’s where we need to make our first real decision. Should you just get two boxes of the Combat Patrol? Personally, I’d say yes. One of the GSC’s biggest strengths is just the sheer number of bodies they can have. So have a core of basically double everything in the box is a good start. That also pushes us over the 1000 points mark with roughly 990 points left over — but we’ve still got to budget for Wargear, too. Codex: T’au Empire is on its way to bring enlightenment to the universe, whether by soft-spoken diplomacy or very big, very loud guns . Regardless of your preferred method of conquest, a T’au force needs to be flexible in its ability to respond – a fact recognised in the upcoming T’au Empire Combat Patrol. Overall units are quite fragile, making the army capable of dishing a hit but usually not capable of taking one So, do you focus on grabbing your opponent’s objective marker or do you try to keep them off yours? That’s for you to decide!**** There are a host of new missions that can be played for Combat Patrol, each with their own objectives and special rules, meaning that even these smaller games will give your brain a tactical workout. The new Warhammer 40,000 features bespoke Combat Patrol missions both for matched play and for narrative Crusade games, and we can’t wait to try them all out. Building Your Army The Forty-First Millennium is flooded with talent and units that get the job done. There are a few that stand out, whether you want to play the game or just have a fascination with the lore.

Starting off this list would have to be none other than the Imperium of Mankind’s nuns with guns. The Adeptas Sororitas Combat Patrol box set has you covered with all your bolt and flamer weaponry needs. The Adeptas Sororitas is a top-tier army in 9th edition, and some people might be wondering which Sisters box set has the best value. This is the one to look out for. Containing your primary HQ and Troops units, the Cannonness and Battle Sisters Squad, respectively, it also has high-tier Sisters of Battle Units that are very competitive and useful in any aspect of the game: Repentias and Seraphym. explode’ essentially translates to ‘An unmodified 6 to Hit does an additional hit’, so read that as ‘Does 2 Hits instead of 1’. Per the Core Rules, anything that might also happen on a 6 to hit (such as auto-wounding) does not apply to the additional hit, only the original. Genestealer Cults are one of the newer playable factions in the Warhammer 40k tabletop game, despitehaving been woven intothe game’s grim, dark futuresetting since almost the beginning. If you’re interested in learning more about these mind-controlled rioters or fancy starting your own army, read on as we give you the lowdown on everything Genestealer. Covering Fire- An enemy unit with a Crossfire marker in your Charge Phase can’t fire Overwatch, Set to Defend or Heroically Intervene. A powerful tool for a CP to protect a unit on the way in, or to shut down a unit looking to utilise rules or Stratagems to catch you flatfooted via an Intervention.

While Genestealers are the core of the cult, it’s the Genestealer Patriarch that rules over each cell. These Patriarchs direct the cult’s actions through a psychic link known as the Broodmind as they build their numbers – before finally unveiling themselves in armed insurrection. If your Detachment is Battle-Forged (which will be most armies) and only has GENESTEALER CULTS units in it. Any of the rules discussed below apply only to GENESTEALER CULTS models with the same Keyword , so no overlapping or crossing of Auras (no HIVECULT Auras or powers affecting RUSTED CLAW units, for example). There are occasional exceptions that will affect all CULT units, these will be called out.
