Editing Warhammer 40,000/10th Edition Tactics/Genestealer Cults (section)

==Faction Rules==
*'''Cult Ambush''': Any time a unit dies, roll a d6, adding +3 if the unit is {{W40kKeyword|Battleline}}. On a 4+, the unit gets thrown back into reserves with a special marker being placed anywhere on the board at least 9" away from an enemy. On your ''opponent's'' next reinforcements step, the unit comes back.
**This comes with two major caveats. The first is the fact that any attached characters won't return with any attached units, meaning a dead hero is truly dead. The second is the fact that if any enemies end their movement within 9" of a marker, that marker will go away - In these cases, you really need to be careful where you deploy your reinforcements.
*'''Brood Brothers''': The anticipated rule that lets you ally in the [[Warhammer_40,000/10th_Edition_Tactics/Imperial Guard|Imperial Guard]]. You can ally in a fixed amount of Guard units (250/500/750 points depending on size). Though allied, these units can't be used for a Warlord and can't accept Enhancements.
**There are restrictions to what you can take, but none too shocking. No Epic Heroes, no Tempestus, no Commissars, no Preachers, no Ogryns or Ratlings, no Techpriests or Servitors. The one surprise here is the lack of aircraft, which can be very crippling since the army has absolutely no aircraft to consider.
**Because your Imperial Guard allies won't have their Army rule of Orders (or your Army rule of Cult Ambush, of course), if you stick to units that can't be ordered anyway, you lose nothing in the transition. Similar logic applies to Detachment rules. An excellent example is Inferno Cannon Hellhounds.
**Unless you plan on running a fluffy list, the only Guard units you should be bringing are vehicles. All of the Imperial Guard infantry that can bring are, ironically, inferior to your Neophytes for the simple reason that broodbrothers can't respawn. On the other hand, GSC vehicles can't return after death, so supplementing them with some real tanks and artillery isn't a downgrade.
