Yeah, I need to buy a lot of genestealer cult models to make a mutant army, or at least some inq28 mutants.

Good Lord that gif...
But yeah, the GSC train is finally coming in. Those new models are looking great, and the leaked rules show some real potential for messing up faces. Can't wait to see what the codex provides them.

I'm really hoping it's not like the deathguard release where its almost all HQ and single model elite choices, while cool I don't want to have to buy like 5 or 6 individual clampack $30 models...
Hoping we see some new actual genestealers, like the hulking sewer ones seen behind the good doctor in that animated trailer. Maybe even a big carnifex sized one or larger to fill out heavy slots, etc. Would be cool to run an all mutant army of abberants and abominants and even BIGGER abberants.

I've been talking to people, and the one thing GSC need back more than any other: The Limos.

I doubt we'll see a limo, just because the theme seems to be less intergalactic 1920s themed gangsters now, and more mining worker uprising, but with some of the new characters seeming to be a bit more aristocratic it might be the right time to bring them back as a small HQ transport!

Loads of codex compilation rumors up on faeit today - looks REALLY promising! Seems like it'll be fun, but depending on how that ambush rule works, it might be really easy for opponent's to swarm the blips and cancel them out (if they, for example, can surround one and prevent the unit from arriving). natfka.blogspot.com/2019/01/genestealer-cult-codex-rumors.html

*furrows mutant brow*
I don't like the sound of the new cult ambush. I can say I am pretty happy that I went ahead with my Brood Brothers purchases. None of these cult tactics stood out to me in particular, but I am sure one will be better. Definitely might pick up some of the new characters, but most of them didn't sound to helpful. Stratagems for Cult Guard sounds incredible, deep striking aside. Good to hear the Patriarch is a little stronger.
EDIT:
Okay I have had some time to sleep and read these again.
If the leak of a Catachan-esque cult trait is true, that is very very good. Acolyte Hybrids at S5, Aberrants at S6, and the Abominant sits at a pretty S7. Good lord that would be great IN GENERAL. Probably the way forward for me. I am still very underwhelmed by the special characters, and the lack of a named character sucks, but it isn't the worst thing ever. The only two that grab me are the vox-caster that denies deep strike in a 12" bubble and the Nexos that moves around Cult Ambush blips.
Speaking of which, Cult Ambush makes a bit more sense now. Essentially, we can still do a T1 charge if flipping blips on T1 is true. This does give counter play, as your opponent can swarm the point with models. If we can't place the model, it is destroyed. BUT THEN we have fake blips to use as insurance. I want to give it a run a few times before coming to a final decision.
Having an Agents of Vect equivalent sounds strong. Definitely in the cult's repertoire to disrupt stuff like that. I am still really hoping those stratagems leaked a while ago are still true. I want to auto-blow up dead vehicles and deny aura abilities. I am still very excited about Brood Brothers stratagems because the lack of Regimental Doctrines will leave them wanting to a certain degree.
Losing AM detachment CP sucks but it makes sense. It just might mean I bring a spearhead of AM & a battalion and Sup Com of GSC. Still definitely happy to have the AM guns for the long range firepower that GSC sort of needs without going whole hog on cult ambush.
I am VERY ready for this codex

www.warhammer-community.com/2019/01/16/16th-jan-genestealer-cults-preview-the-biophagusgw-homepage-post-1/YUSS this probably means we aren't more than 2-3 weeks out from the codex dropping. This guy looks pretty good with enough aberrants. I run 9 plus an Abominant so this guy will be an auto include. I will putting 9 aberrants, a Primus, an Abominant, and a Biophagus in a Cult Chimera and running it up the board. Protects the cargo, moves fast, and then when they get out these will be aberrants getting +1 to hit, 6s are 2 hits, and will be +1 S/T/A depending. And this isn't even including the stratagem to give them reroll 1s to wound and swing after they die. GW had already been trying hard to make aberrants super good and this is just helping the cause. I love it.

Rumor was the codex going up for preorder on Jan 26 for release Feb 2, so this would support that! It would be announced on sunday the 20th that it was going for preorder, which is awesome

It's a good thing I'm building a bunch of aberrants.
