Marshlands Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hi, Is anyone still using GSC's? I have a bit and with the CA stratagems they seem quite a bit better than they get credit for, im basically using 3 primus and 3 big blogs to reliably get a hoarde in every turn. Makes me quite excited for the codex, because aside from new models, id guess we'll see some point reductions and other benefits (im excited/hopeful for sub faction traits), which could see them being a major power again Anyone hoping to see anything specific in new codex? Are there any rumours out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SB Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Just comparing notes, GSC saw an uptick in uptake in our meta after the previous Big FAQ. I think simply some points reductions (just to bring them in line with other Codices) and something like sub-faction traits like you say will be good enough. The situation is people take the GSC for mainly the Neophyte Hybrid Troops or Leman Russ tanks, but then they get the actual Genestealers themselves from the Tyranids codex for the Hive Fleet traits (i.e. the Kraken special rule). Allying with Tyranids is cool, but doing so just for the actual Genestealers to go with a GSC army is counter-intuitive. So yeah, the GSC is already in good shape. All the Codex needs to do is just to include simple things like sub-faction traits other Codices already got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshlands Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Yeah, a few other buffs to cult ambush would be nice (like traits and relics). Be interesting to see what new stuff impacts the game, and if allying is still the way to go, currently every GC list i use includes AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petitioner's City Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 These popped up on http://www.miniwars.eu/2018/06/nuevas-minis-para-cultos-genestealer.html I quite enjoy GSC in Necromunda - and my friend is keen on them once the codex drops for both 40K and Necromunda. Loving the new models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akrim Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Ooo nice, I like that gunslinger Hybrid. I have been running mine lately, they perform fairly well. Cult Ambush is potent enough for my liking.I think Aberrants and Hybrids are a bit over costed points wise. A few more psychic powers and some good strats and they should be good to go.

Marshlands Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Yeah im hoping for a discount on acolytes, or their weapons. Only think that messes me up completely at the moment is agents of vect, totally changes the reliability of CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I don't play GSC yet, but they tied with orks for my next army once I finish painting my Knights. The codices will help decide for me, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Cross Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I've actually been looking for the Overkill box, is $145 a pretty standard price? Oops, wrong thread but I don't know how to delete haha. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
