Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Genestealer Cults
Everyone's favorite gribbly army is back on the tabletop! After getting hints of a codex in Deathwatch: Overkill, the full codex is finally here. They seem to have upgraded their iconic limos to more practical infantry fighting vehicles, though. Sadface.
Why Play Genestealer Cults?
- Because you've got the models from the late '80s and have long been itching to use them again!
- Because you finally have a workable ally force with Tyranids.
