Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Genestealer Cults (section)

===Warlord Traits===
All in all, warlord traits for Genestealer Cults are ok or good, but only one trait here really provides a massive boost to the army as a whole while most others are straight-up enhancements. Still, if you don't roll the one you want, you don't need to worry about having a wasted trait.
 
# '''Shadow Stalker''': Your Warlord gains the ''Stealth'' special rule, which helps to boost any unit he is part of. Since half of our HQs are melee based and will more often than not be able to find cover on their own, every boost helps.
# '''Focus of Admiration''': Friendly units of the Genestealer Cult faction have ''Counter-Attack'' whilst they are within 12" of your Warlord. One of the best for sure unless your HQ is a magus, who'll probably never be close enough to melee combat for his rule to apply. For everyone else, though, a [[Rip and tear|rending or strength 6-8 counter-attack will make even assault terminators buckle under the weight of hits coming their way]], and should their dear Patriarch come close enough, it gives your little guardsmen clones a little more power to keep those obnoxious boyz, witches (yes, Dark Eldar players still field witches), ogryns, striking scorpions or other anti-tarpit units from removing your psuedo-guard tarpits.
# '''Wall Creeper''': Your Warlord gains the ''Move through cover'' special rule. In addition, your Warlord and his unit never suffer the penalty to Initiative for charging through difficult terrain. Pretty straightforward, but helps a lot, especially when dealing with stealthed or entrenched units, and gives your warlord more options for where he can practically pop up to wreak havoc. If you're running a Patriarch with Genestealers, this is the one you want in lieu of Ambush Leader. 
# '''Born Survivor''': Your Warlord gains the ''It Will Not Die'' special rule. Anything without instant death is going to shit their pants if they come across your warlord now (not like they weren't doing that already). It helps make up for your warlords' low armor saves, for sure.
# '''Alien Majesty''': All models in your Warlord's detachment can use his Leadership value in place of their own. This one might be the weakest trait simply because compared to the others, you're not seeing any major combat improvements. Your army doesn't really have a lot of leadership problems, as nothing's below leadership 8. Still, could be useful for a Patriarch or Primus giving everyone Ld10.
# '''Ambush Leader''': When using Cult Ambush with any unit the Warlord has joined, do not roll on the ambush table; you can choose a result to apply instead. This one, right here, is the one you really want. Not that the ambush table is bad, but for a game that relies on dice rolls, removing the possibility of a bad redeploy could remove the chance your most useful/powerful/needed ASAP unit winds up on your side of the board instead of breathing down your enemy's neck all of a sudden or suddenly contesting an objective where it should be. Fuck the Tau's anti-deepstrike weaponry bullshit, you just brought all those tasty suits closer together to be rended into scrap metal.
