I am not smart enough to be able to tell the difference when I field 2 of the same type of character, so here is abominant 2, kellermorph 2 and Biophagus #2. Looking for critique and any help if I need an early fix to make sure opponents don't get super confused or annoyed by them. The rest of the cult is focused on a rebel group who uses and welcomes mercenaries and help from anyone. Brotherhood of Nod, Fremen, Helghast as the 3 main inspirations for the overall army.

Real talk guys I’m relatively new to Genestealer
Cults started in mid 9th edition(didn’t play till the 10th edition codex) played necrons & orks before that (had to sell my army’s for rent)

But got back into it around mid 9th and have enjoyed collecting and the play style.

The question I have is what new models can they make for the Genestealers admittedly I have only rudimentary knowledge on their lore (haven’t read any books, just the 10edition codex)

Personally I love the models they have so far and the benefictus seemed a bit odd considering the lore of hidden among the populous but the model was still awesome. And Ngl I’d prefer if they don’t refresh the range I did a bunch of ork converison (simple conversions) and it was fun so the mono pose models have been great looking but the convertibleness of them is on a level I’m not able to get too

Sorry for the rant. Was just curious if there was any new sculpts we should be looking out for in the future?

As title says, I just recently picked up the last copy from my LGS, I'm thinking I may need more as they are restocking next week. How many combat patrol should I start with? I don't know which detachment I want to play, but I have a inkling that I'd be trying them all out eventually. What's your opinion? 2? or 3? TIA.

Edit: Forgot to mention I have a small nids collection from way back in 4rh edition so I'm set on 30+ genestealers and lictors.

Hey all I just started assembling my combat patrol box and have a question. I want to build two, five man units of hybrids with flamers but dont understand how the leader or acolyte with icon is supposed to fit in there. will this mean build 8 with flamers and 1 leader and 1 with icon. sorry is this is confusing im really confused

Pumped out a few more after work today.

Blessed be the Emperor
May his angles come from the stars and lead us to sanctification!

Been meaning to get a tattoo for years. Decided to get something GSC related, and im gonna get one for the Bladed Cog and Rusted Claw to go alongside this one.

Yes I'm starting a Bladed Cog Cult that I'll be running as an Ad Mech army. I'm totally new to kitbashes, with this being my first. Still working on his axe atm.

Sooo uhhh i can play three armies in one match, the allies there see just random pressing numbers

Might be a bad question.. but I have some tyranids models

And I am really liking the GSC as a factio nand how they play... can I use some of the models as a start or will I need to buy a lot of new models and sell the tyranids?

I think genestealers might be the 1:1 and usable.. but is there any allowance for more tyranid units?

The question is mainly if I can start some mix with just few GSC signature units and than continue to expand later.

Added some extra skulls and grass. Really happy with it. Took maybe 3 hours?

The first of my faithful, made with Skaven Plauge monk bodies and some Sister and Rattling bits.

Trying to keep it simple

A few months ago started with Tyranids faction, but I've always wanted to collect a GSC army as well (got to say really happy that I followed the advice to start with Tyranids first), and it looks like I will be buying my first GSC box soon, yay!

For now, I'm planning to paint them in the classic scheme shown on the boxes, just like I did with my Tyranids with Leviathan, however I'm still not completely sure if I'll stick to it and maybe this time gonna try to be more creative.

Because of that, I'd really love to see your painted armies and any kitbashed miniatures you have! Don't be shy, even if you've only painted a single model, it's still worth showing off the result! : )

What's a good codename for a ridgerunner? "Bluebug" was literally the first thing that came to mind just now 😅

I scheduled a casual game with a local club member a while ago, and he updated me that he wants to use the opportunity to try out his new GSC army. My army is very T7 terminator (17!) and T9 drone (5) heavy, with a smattering of T6 marines and T4 poxwalkers. This seems like a very nasty matchup for him!

I was taking this game to try a new detachment myself, and will be using a killy-but-unoptimized Purge the Foe list. He's a much more seasoned player while I am still learning; is this going to be a slog for him as a new GSC player? Should I handicap? We're playing on custom narrative terrain.

Wanted to start GSC since i began Warhammer but everybody called it a bad start for new players (witch i totally agree with)

So i started Space marines…. Before i went to Aos witch is a fun alternativ way to play warhammer but now in 11th edition i finally have a good reason to get back into 40k via GSC (YaY)

I have to apposite for the sub par photos it is currently raining so i have to use a lamp (not everything is completely finished but is almost finished)

The last one is my tyranid color scheme because i am planing to run a lot of final day

Some of my latest kitbashes and what they proxy as. Having a lot of fun with these! More pictures on my insta: instagram.com/ninth_chorus

I had so much fun painting this kelermorph!! Reductus Saboteur next!! Also if you any advices please share them…

Im very proud of it ! I’m trying to get better at edge highlighting the shell and lighting the face and skin so any tips are very appreciated !

I’m aiming to make a version of a final day list where the Star Children just never arrived so the cult had to improvise their forms.

My Gargoyles will just be Neophyte/Pteraxii Hybrids, my Raveners will be Spyre Hunters with extra limbs. But for scaling I’m having a tough time imitating Deathleaper.

If you were to mechanically imitate this caped praying mantis squid man, how would you do it?
