Genestealer Cults keep their fighting strength carefully hidden from their oppressors until the glorious Day of Ascension arrives. When they finally emerge to fight, it is after long years of meticulous planning, and with an intimate knowledge of the battlefield that grants them a tactical advantage. Even as battle rages, reinforcements slip from the shadows or spill up from the dark places below, called to war by the Broodmind.

The insidious broodkin of the cult lurk hidden within the shadows, tirelessly tracking their enemies as predatory beasts stalk their prey. Only when their position is perfect do they strike. Worming into the fight from hidden tunnels, ducts and sewers, they rise to engulf their victims in a hail of unexpected firepower and a flurry of stabbing blades and raking talons.

No matter how often the oppressors seek to trap or silence this leader, they always find themselves left empty-handed and foolish, their elusive quarry long gone.

GENESTEALER CULTS model only. Once per turn, when an enemy unit ends a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move within 9" of the bearer’s unit, if the bearer’s unit is not within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it can make a Normal move of up to D6".

Every oppressor has a weak spot. This savant of tactical analysis pinpoints fractured armour plates, exposed cabling or unshielded flesh with a glance and directs the cults fire to shatter the enemy’s greatest assets.

Infused with transcendent zeal, this insurrectionist and their chosen cultists are assured by telepathic whispers that they are the Star Childrens avatars and that now is the moment to strike.

GENESTEALER CULTS model only. Once per battle, when the bearer’s unit declares a charge, the bearer can use this Enhancement. If it does, until the end of the phase, add 2 to Charge rolls made for the bearer’s unit.

With an impulse of the Broodmind pulsing in their brain, this holy avenger stalks the battlefield, seeking to slay generals, preachers and all those the foe looks to for salvation and inspiration.

GENESTEALER CULTS model only. Each time a model in the bearer’s unit makes an attack that targets a CHARACTER unit, add 1 to the Hit roll

Downtrodden by the oppressors for so long, a cult’s lowly broodkin are fanatically devoted to their leaders, for those hallowed individuals serve the Patriarchs will more directly. The masses draw upon energy reserves in their desire to heed their masters’ wishes, surging selflessly into the fray, ready to hurl themselves in harm’s way for the Patriarch’s chosen.

For each ACOLYTE HYBRIDS,

This war leader carries a gift from their Patriarch: a talismanic shard of a chitinous claw, a vial of the liquid that seeps into the genesis pools or a psionic growth within the chosen one’s brain. Its form matters less than its effect, for it radiates an inspirational wave of the Broodmind that focuses the minds of the faithful on their duties to the cult above all else.

With vitriol and passion do the cult’s leaders castigate the foe’s champions, casting them as the most hated architects of oppression and inciting their comrades to murderous intent.

This agent of the Star Children is a living legend known amongst the entire cult. Their reputation as a spiritual orator, undefeated liberator or sanctified warden is mythic, and their very presence draws the faithful to their side for a chance to fight alongside them.

This insurgent is a font of aggressive encouragement. As some supernatural vitality their broodkin feel in their souls, the leader’s words and deeds rouse them with fresh energy and stir them to charge forth in blind fury.

Little can assuage a Genestealer Cults least Human instincts, behaviours made even more ferocious under provocation. Stimulated by psionic pulses of the Broodmind or fuelled by alchemical concoctions delivered from alien grafts, impulses drive the blessed to acts of increased savagery.

With alien senses and instincts augmented with hyper-adaptive gene-strands, this chosen of the cult leads the way deep into enemy lines, like a toxic barb working its way to the heart.

The power of the Star Children flows through this creatures veins, their physiology showing unnatural gifts and lethal enhancements.

Though the truth may lie with cocktails of alchemical enzymes or xenos hormones triggering ferocious metabolic renewal, the cult’s masses see this nigh-immortal leader as a vessel of divine favour.

An aura of palpable grandeur surrounds this individual, their mere presence a powerful stimulant to the nerve of their followers and a cowing nimbus to subjugate tyrannical foes.

Whether forming loose clans of wandering nomads or militarised rapid-reaction corps, the cultists of Outlander Claws use their experience to launch assaults on prominent targets. Swiftly exploiting or rigging them with proximity charges, they can deny resources to the enemy without yoking themselves to a static defence.

While a GENESTEALER CULTS MOUNTED or GENESTEALER CULTS VEHICLE model from your army is not Battle-shocked, add 1 to its Objective Control characteristic. In addition, at the end of your

With a chilling focus enabling them to identify ideal firing positions at a glance, this frontier assassin leads their brood in a coiling evasion from their enemies that suddenly changes into a lunging strike back.

GENESTEALER CULTS MOUNTED model only. The bearer’s unit is eligible to shoot in a turn in which it Fell Back.

This parasitic, cybernetic implant allows its host to tap into the survey augurs and proximity detectors of the cults industrial transports. They use this leeched data to guide their comrades’ fire from vision slits and hatches, even at high speed.

When they hit, these hand-crafted sniper bullets radiate with a supernatural aura redolent of the void’s numbing chill. Muscles seize, fingers cramp and thought slows as the sinister saturation takes effect.

An expert in rapid attacks from speeding vehicles, this veteran has drilled their insurrectionist cell, readying them to leap into the fray with stolen weapons blazing.

GENESTEALER CULTS model only. Each time a model in the bearer’s unit makes a ranged attack, if it disembarked from a TRANSPORT this turn, you can re-roll the Hit roll.

Coordinating with their militant allies via stolen vox equipment or signalling with cult icons, the insidious broodkin engulfs the hated foe in overlapping fields of fire.

Each time an ASTRA MILITARUM unit from your army (see below) is selected to shoot, you can select one enemy unit within 18" of and

With access to Imperial data-logs and servo-scry records, this cult leader feeds the stolen information to their professional allies, enabling them to immediately exploit weak points in the enemy.

GENESTEALER CULTS INFANTRY model only. Once per turn, when a friendly ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY or ASTRA MILITARUM MOUNTED unit within 9" of the bearer is selected to shoot, the bearer can use this Enhancement. If it does, until the end of the phase, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of ranged weapons equipped by models in that unit by 1.

Whether through intensive cross-training with tainted officers or some symbiotic neuro-mimicry, this insurrectionist is adept in daring tactical manoeuvres.

GENESTEALER CULTS INFANTRY model only. Once per turn, you can target a friendly GENESTEALER CULTS unit within 9" of the bearer with the Heroic Intervention Stratagem for 0CP.

Hidden for years within a xeno-tainted regiment, this feted commander has returned to lead their guerrillas, donning once more the garb of the insurgent. Respected with reverent awe, they instil a disciplined professionalism and focus in their cult comrades.

GENESTEALER CULTS INFANTRY model only. Improve the Leadership and Objective Control characteristics of models in the bearer’s unit by 1.

Taking a righteous vindication in turning the oppressor’s tactics against them, this war leader coordinates their broodkins last-second fire into effective volleys to drive back the foe.

GENESTEALER CULTS INFANTRY model only. Each time you target the bearer’s unit with the Fire Overwatch Stratagem, while resolving that Stratagem, hits are scored on unmodified Hit rolls of 5+.

Every Genestealer Cultist wishes to witness the Star Children’s arrival and ascend to join them in blessed oneness. They believe this will be a transcendent experience, a sublime reward for their devotion. The reality is altogether more hideous. As the Tyranids approach through the void, the utterly alien Hive Mind assimilates the more nuanced Broodmind of the cult. Many faithful die from psionic shock. Others are freed from Tyranid mind control only to go mad with horror as the truth is revealed. The rest become short-lived puppets for the first waves of Tyranid vanguard organisms descending on their world. Exerting its will to make them fight harder and move faster, the Hive Mind swiftly burns out these surviving faithful, harvesting each flicker of bioenergy to reinvigorate its more valuable Tyranid organisms.

With each tug on the synaptic leash, the Hive Mind drains more of its hapless worshippers.

At the end of your

Invisible psionic tendrils drift around this bioform’s cranium, stabbing out to force alien demands into fragmenting hybrid minds and suck the bioenergy from them in merciless draughts.

TYRANIDS model only. Each time the bearer would regain one or more lost wounds from the Psionic Parasitism Detachment rule, it regains up to twice that number of lost wounds instead.

Though hollowing them out like acid, the insidious power of the Hive Mind blazes from this delirious fanatic and forces their enemies to recoil.

GENESTEALER CULTS model only. Enemy units cannot use the Fire Overwatch Stratagem to shoot at the bearer’s unit.

Adapted by the Hive Mind to lead the first invasion swarms, this leader organism’s bioweapons emphasise vicious shock assault and maximum bloodshed.

This cult leader’s powerful psyche has withstood Hive Mind integration better than most, at least for now. It even relays a crude approximation of synaptic signals to their underlings. Of course, this only makes them and their followers more selflessly obedient drones.

GENESTEALER CULTS model only. Weapons equipped by models in the bearer’s unit have the [SUSTAINED HITS 1] ability while targeting an enemy unit within 6" of one or more friendly TYRANIDS units.

In this section you’ll find additional rules for playing Crusade battles that are bespoke to GENESTEALER CULTS units.

Those who cannot be snatched away and infected with the gene-curse of the cult must be slain without mercy.

Those who have seen too much or possess the means to threaten the cult’s glorious Ascension must be swiftly dispatched to secure their silence.

By extending the tendrils of the Broodmind into the psyche of the enemy, we will open their eyes and win allies to our cause

Plans must be made against any threats. Tunnels must be dug, supplies cached and traps set.

From heathen fane to hated fortification, all must be cast down.

+XWhere X is your Control count.

Ascension on this world has succeeded, and the cult has crushed their oppressors. As the cult ready the world for the Star Children, new horizons beckon.

If your Control count reaches 4, you win a Glorious Ascension victory! You have claimed this world by crushing its defences, casting invaders back and seizing control of the oppressors’ institutions.

Though some areas remain controlled by the oppressors, the cult has outmanoeuvred its foes to ensure the Patriarch’s legacy spreads to other worlds.

If your Propagation count reaches 5, you win a Seed the Stars victory! Your cult’s influence spreads far beyond your world, bringing the word of the Star Children to a benighted galaxy.

The cult’s foes are closing in. Perhaps they have won a stinging victory, killed cult agents, found its caches or razed its hideouts. The cult preaches this is a test of faith and orders a final, overwhelming assault.

If you have been set back, you must fight in the Great Ordeal. The Great Ordeal is a Crusade battle in which your cult makes a final, fanatical effort to crush their circling foes and take the world in a show of faith worthy of the Star Children. Make sure you find a suitable opponent for such a momentous event!

Many of the faithful have fallen, but the cult’s core survives. Whether it escapes to infest a new world or slinks into the shadows to re-grow, the cult will rise anew.

You may find that your attempt to infiltrate and assume control of a world is proving to be unsuccessful. In such cases, before or after a battle, you can abandon your current

As the Genestealer Curse spreads and the brood grows, so new leaders emerge from the brood cycle already possessed of inherent knowledge and martial skill.

Just as important as grand strategy is the tactical approach to every individual engagement, from the most meagre skirmish to grand offensives and onslaughts. All must be planned with equal cunning and determination in order for the cult to emerge victorious.

Suitably heroic and bloody deeds can win a brood the status offolk heroes in the eyes of their fellows. 'The faithful idolise such icons of the revolution, seeking to emulate their deeds of canny daring.

Through tireless effort and keen foresight, a localised victory for the cult can be exploited to open new doors and generate fresh opportunities for the faithful.

For all the lives it may cost to subjugate an entire world, still the ranks of the faithful are swelled by such conquests as the blessings spread through the populace.

As the brood cycle turns and turns again, each new fifth generation spawns Purestrain Genestealers to act as living weapons and vectors of transmission for the cult.

The Pervasion Veil is, at first glance, merely a tattered cloak that even the most destitute vagrant might cast aside as worthless. Yet one who dons it seems to fade somehow into the shadows, their image flickering half-seen in every dark corner, there in peripheral sight then gone as quickly as it was glimpsed.

INFANTRY model (excluding

Some myths say this blade is a literal claw, lengthening from the bearer’s flesh; others that it is the chitinous spur of a martyred Metamorph. Whatever the truth, the Vector Talon whispers with a cluttering sibilance of its own and twitches when it touches prey, finding weakness and digging into it.

Improve the Armour Penetration and Damage characteristics of melee weapons equipped by the bearer by 1.

This cranial device enhances the host’s integration with the Broodmind, granting them a truly alien perspective and devotion - but at a cost.

Improve the Leadership characteristic of models in the bearer’s unit by 2. Each time the bearer’s unit fails a Leadership test, the bearer suffers 1 mortal wound.

This info-wafer records the last days of the survivors of Magorra, a system conquered by simultaneous Genestealer Cult uprisings on every world. Its revelations serve to offer great strategic insights.

Each time you select the bearer’s unit as the target of a

Stitched together from the tattered remains of enemy banners, then dyed and daubed over with cult sigils, this banner stands as a testament to the conviction and savage conquests of the cult.

Cult artificers, working to revelatory fever dreams fuelled by the Broodmind, created this psycho-empathic projector. Small enough to conceal within its bearer’s robes, it emits an irresistible psionic pulse that wears down mental fortitude. The faithless in its reach begin to question their every conviction: every truth they hold and every belief they cleave to.

While an enemy BATTLELINE unit is within 9" of the bearer’s unit, worsen the Leadership characteristic of models in that enemy unit by 1, and subtract 1 from the Objective Control characteristic of models in that enemy unit (to a minimum of 0).

Failing the Star Children has consequences, with ostracism from the ranks of the faithful being amongst the worst.

Even those bolstered by the Broodmind can forget the teachings of their faith in the heat of battle.

Neural trauma has weakened this revolutionary’s mind, causing them to freeze in moments of crisis.

Debilitating mutations afflict this warrior, their part-alien anatomy turning against them.

Left angry and in pain from their wounds, this warrior must fight constantly not to give in to monstrous and mindless ferocity.

One too many defeats have seen this warrior slip down the invisible psychic hierarchy asserted through the Broodmind.

Experience has taught this brood the best ways in which to exploit the landscape around them for cover and concealment.

These warriors are practised in defending even the most ruined structures, be they bunkers or fallen hab-stacks.

Filled with hatred for their oppressors and enemies, these warriors are only too happy to rise up in violent rebellion.

Those who pilot light vehicles into battle soon learn to jink, swerve and use their own dust clouds for concealment.

There are advantages to having underhive engine-fixers and outcast mechanists amongst the faithful, as the many blasphemous upgrades on cult combat vehicles attest.

Bolting on extra armour is a wise precaution when fresh armoured vehicles are in short supply.

As final ascension looms, the mightiest and most genetically alien of the cult exhibit the blessings of inhumanly swift reactions and almost animalistic savagery in battle.

No mere Human could possibly dodge their enemies’ blows with such bewildering, horribly insectile speed and precision.

Even amongst the inner circle of the cult, some display a predatory eagerness to tear into their enemies.

Command of the faithful comes as naturally to this revolutionary orator as breathing.

This cult agent draws strength from the Broodmind, becoming an avatar of destruction in the presence of the faithful.

This folk hero and their followers have fought so long together for the cause that they are now inseparable comrades.

The cult’s broods hail you as a folk hero of the creed, and under your leadership, the broodkin’s devoted insurrectionists have proven worthy of their holy task. With each victory in the name of the Star Children, their prophesied arrival draws ever nearer. The oppressors who have dared to stand in your path - though they have struck down many loyal servants of the cult - now lie bloody and broken. Yet this is only the beginning. There are many more who might greet the Star Children, awaiting only the breaking of their shackles and the opening of their eyes to new truths.

You are the architect of Ascension. The oppressors of one world after another have fallen to your masterful strategies and labyrinthine ploys. More than that, you have seeded the cult’s creed and the Patriarch’s progeny into the heavenly domains and wrested spaceports, ships and crews from the faithless to take the Star Childrens blessings still further. Now is not the moment to rest, for the divine labour cannot be laid down until the chains wielded by every tyrannical overlord lie broken with them.

Your Claws and gene-sects now march or incubate across entire systems and stellar trading routes. The oppressors’ religion is shown to be a hollow sham as the holiness of the Star Children declares its triumphs at every stage, from the whispered hiss to the clarion call of battle. You are truly a vessel of angelic divinity!

Many Genestealer Cults seek to spread beyond their birth worlds by smuggling broods of the faithful onto departing voidships. Though cunning, some such cult cells are discovered before they reach their destinations. In such circumstances, they will fight furiously to overtake their host vessel entirely.

Genestealer Cults survive and spread through a combination of stealth and sudden, decisive violence. These traits make them especially nightmarish foes to face in the confines of a voidship, where they spring seemingly from nowhere to attack.

Units from your army with the Cult Ambush ability lose that ability and GENESTEALER CULTS units from your army gain this one.

Focusing on hit-and-fade tactics to wear their enemies down, the guerrilla fighters of the cult hammer the foe with swift volleys before vanishing back behind closing hatches.

Genestealer Cults survive and spread through a combination of stealth and sudden, decisive violence. These traits make them especially nightmarish foes to face in the confines of a voidship, where they spring seemingly from nowhere to attack.

Units from your army with the Cult Ambush ability lose that ability and GENESTEALER CULTS units from your army gain this one.

To the faithful of the cult, these warriors appear as the blessed and beatific chosen of the Star Children. To all others they are grotesque hybrid horrors whose unnatural aspect triggers repulsion and aversion in equal measure.

Each time an enemy unit declares a charge that targets one or more GENESTEALER CULTS units from your army, that enemy unit must take a Leadership test. If failed, until the end of the turn, each time a model in that enemy unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.

Spiteful Imp

This Abominant’s familiar is of an especially vicious breed. Not content to lead its lumpen companion into the fight, it also exploits enemies’fearful distraction to strike barbed blows of its own.

Miasmic Fumes

So potent are the bubbling toxins and tinctures carried into battle by the Biophagus that they choke the ship’s corridors with gene-corrosive fumes that choke foes and obscure their bearer from view.

Many doomed voidships have been infested by Genestealers, their corridors and crawlways transformed into the hunting grounds and brood-lairs of monstrous vanguard organisms. Such infestations prove nightmarishly deadly to any unwise enough to board these apparent derelicts.

All the enemy see are half-glimpsed darting shadows, or partial returns of contact blips on sensor-screens. At least, that is, until the Genestealers are in position to pounce...

Units from your army with the SYNAPSE or Cult Ambush abilities replace those abilities with this one.

Possessed of alien cunning and unnatural stealth, Genestealers are able to fade back into the shadows or crawl across ceilings or under deck-plates, the better to evade notice by their prey.

Each time a ranged attack targets a GREAT DEVOURER unit from your army, if the attacking model is not within 6" of that unit, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.

Some units make their way to battle via tunnelling, teleportation, high-altitude descent or other extraordinary means that allow them to appear suddenly in the thick of the fighting.

During the Declare Battle Formations step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can set it up in Reserves instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" horizontally away from all enemy models. If a unit with the Deep Strike ability arrives from Strategic Reserves, the controlling player can choose for that unit to be set up either using the rules for Strategic Reserves or using the Deep Strike ability.

To do so, roll one D6: on a 1, that test is failed. For each failed test you must resolve the following sequence (resolve each failed test one at a time):

Some attacks are so powerful that no armour or force field can withstand their fury.

Some rules inflict mortal wounds on units. Each time mortal wounds are inflicted on a unit, each of those mortal wounds inflicts one point of damage to that unit, and they are always applied one at a time. Each mortal wound is allocated to a model in the same manner as allocating an attack. Excess damage from mortal wounds is not lost if the damage can be allocated to another model. Instead, keep allocating damage to another model in the target unit until either all the damage has been allocated or the target unit is destroyed.

Some warriors refuse to be laid low, even by what should be fatal wounds.

Some models have ‘Feel No Pain x+’ listed in their abilities. Each time a model with this ability suffers damage and so would lose a wound (including wounds lost due to mortal wounds), roll one D6: if the result is greater than or equal to the number denoted by ‘x’, that wound is ignored and is not lost. If a model has more than one Feel No Pain ability, you can only use one of those abilities each time that model suffers damage and so would lose a wound.
