Start Collecting - Genestealer Cults

[Rogue]

There's a Start Collecting box on the way - neophytes, acolytes, an iconward and a ridgerunner. All useful, potentially.

 

£97.50 at full price.

 

And also the kellermorph as a single model.

I’ll probably pick up the start collecting box. I have the kelermorph still to build so don’t need that guy.

I know Troops are great and wonderful, but since I haven't looked at the 8th ed. Codex much:

 

Are Iconwards units worth taking multiple of?

 

How are Ridgerunners in game?

Can't speak for the ridgerunner, having never used one, but I like the iconward, and I certainly see a use for a second one coming in with a second wave of ambushes, or allowing a more dispersed first wave.

 

You could give one the relic banner for +1 strength, and the other the broodsurge warlord trait too.

They're the fastest maybe-hurt-a-tank weapon in the army, good for flanking that pesky armored target hiding behind something.  I'd much prefer being able to take 2 mining lasers per 10 models in a neophyte squad rather than 2 total in a squad of 20.
