The Genestealer Cults codex was basically distilled uncut competitive 8th edition, and a lot of the core changes to the game and missions in 9th impact on how it plays — and not always negatively. Point changes were pretty rough for the army, but a few of their key units got off relatively lightly, giving a foundation to build on. They do, also, still have a truly dizzying array of options available to them. Genestealer Cults Characters.
Credit: That Gobbo. My experience with playing 9th edition thus far is that games are won and lost on a brutal, cut-throat struggle for control of the mid board, and whatever else has happened to them GSC still have the ability to make a mid-table close-quarters throwdown a scary prospect for your opponent, at least for the first few turns of the game.
Combining that with the stock of small units of rocksaw Acolytes actually going significantly up relative to almost everything else, my game plan for GSC would be broadly focused around forcing an opponent to commit to a mid-board fight at the start of the game, and then utilising carefully measured out waves of reinforcements to try and keep that fight going long enough that I come out on top of the primary scoring.
Ridgerunners are also still just fantastic fire support, being able to counter deploy and do more damage genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download the move, and even genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download Blast on their big gun to up the output against things like larger Primaris squads, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download. Genestealer Cults Patriarch.
Credits: That Gobbo. The HQ slot stays a real strength for GSC, with really only one unit having a notably bad time. Patriarchs go up 10pts, but remain a steal atwhile most other things follow the standard trend, being rounded up to the next 5pts and then having 5 added, so picking up increases in the pts range, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download, largely keeping them good value. The only massive outlier is the Primus — unfortunately the fact that his equipment previously cost 3 ends up disastrous for him, because his base cost is increased to 80 and then 2pts added to the sword as well, for a total increase of 10pts on a unit that could comfortably have only gotten 5.
He retains a powerful aura effect, but might see a slight drop in utilisation because of it. The only other thing to note here is that Familiars got rounded up to 15pts each. Taking one to turn into The Crouchling. Is still fine. Acolyte Hybrid with Rocksaw Credit: Pendulin. The news is a bit less good for the legendary hand-flamer bomb — the flamers themselves go up a point each, taking you to ten points a model.
Coupled with no longer playing in an ITC format where bleeding kills from small squads is really bad, I expect to see more small squads packing saws, and fewer hand flamer bombs. Luckily, those got punted pretty hard, so having to plan to go through a whole army of them is a much smaller consideration.
Genestealer Cults Neophyte Hybrids. Credit: Corrode. Brood Brothers I expect to see less of — one of the key uses of them was to fill out mixed detachments where their lack of Cult Creed was meaningless anyway.
Finally, Neophytes. One extra point a model here is good too, though there are some side-grades in their equipment. However, the mining laser and seismic cannon both go down two points to 10, which is good. Realistically, the mining laser is still king here — take it and enjoy it.
While you do thus end up with a slight downgrade in the output of the squads without the nearly-free webbers on top, that means model units of these with lasers only climbs up to 80pts instead of 74pts, which is extremely below rate and means there probably is still an angle on Bladed Cog lists flooding parts of the board genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download them.
Genestealer Cults Clamavus. The characters, largely, are fine. All of them went up 5pts, and that basically changes the calculation on none of them — if you were going to take one you still do. The only possible exception is the Sanctus, who loses quite a bit of utility to no longer being able to flex-pick the Gift From Beyondespecially as it also gets weaker with the wound modifier cap.
The reduction in the ability of enemy characters to safely screen out the backfield also makes it much harder for many opponents to play keep-away on them. Unit-wise this section is, sadly, more of a bust. They also lost access to their Specialist Detachment too.
These boys stay on the shelf for another year, probably. Finally, our other disappointment here is Metamorphs. These got extremely aggressive point cuts in CA, taking them to the edges of playability, really only kept out by the low value of the Elites slot. In addition, metamorph whips which let them fight on death would be extremely good in 9th missions, as they threaten to prevent an enemy that tries to fight them off an objective from taking the point back, messing with both secondary and primary scoring for the opponent — exactly what this army now lives and dies on.
Sadly, presumably in recognition of this fact, these got slapped with a massive cost increase, jumping from 7ppm to 11ppm base. Their other weapon options also all went up in cost, making the whip the only game in town, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download.
The news is good for the Ridgerunner and mixed for the bikes. Ridgerunner first. This gets a very modest increase and remains extremely cost effective, with the chassis going up 5 and the two heavy stubbers by 3 each. Atalan Jackals are much more of a mixed bag.
The bad news up front — these got an above rate point hike on the base model, jumping up to 14pts each while the wolfquad goes to 20 and also takes a sting on heavy stubbers.
The price you pay to field large units of these is now considerably higher, and the reason the GSC list we mathed out for our Chapter Approved review looked so bad was that it was running the absolute maximum number of these possible.
There is a tradeoff for that though — these are exceptional at playing the 9th Edition missions and slot nicely into a role the army needs something to fill. Thanks to the FAQ, Rusted Claw or build-your-own with the equivalent trait bikers also get a new trick.
The standard biker build is to buy a shotgun and cultist knife, but you could also buy an additional autopistol in place of the knife, in addition to the one they have stock. At that point, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download, if you advance then your bikers enter what I like to call Kelermorph Mode, because both the pistols become assault and can be fired in addition to the shotgun. That gives you a withering hail of anti-horde fire, especially in conjunction with their Close-Range Shoot-Out stratagem or the boost from a Jackal Alphus.
They can also still control a reasonable amount of space — they have to glob up more to account for the new coherency rules, but the large bases make keeping in with two other models a bit easier.
There are, of course, two other FA options available in GSC detachments, Scout and Armoured Sentinels. Running people down with a Drilldozer Blade will never not be something to aspire to mind. The Cult Russ, sadly, gets the same price rise as its vastly superior Guard cousins, and is not genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download worth a slot.
Given that I suspect most lists are gonna run a bunch of Ridgerunners too, this provides some degree of target saturation by reducing the number of squishy INFANTRY targets out of the gate. Please continue not to put the Tectonic Fragdrill in your lists. Which, actually, raises a legitimate question as to whether a model can stand on it at all now? Interesting philosophical question, but not competitively relevant, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download.
Despite not everything being doom and gloom, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download, list building for GSC is definitely hard now.
In 8th the faction could very much take a kitchen sink approach to it, squeezing in all of the overlapping buffs you could possibly dream of and still pack the numbers to sometimes just overwhelm opponents.
That, sadly, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download, is gone — even if you stick to the units who received very modest price rises, just bleeding away a few points on every model adds up, and what it tends to squeeze out is some of the flex options and redundancy, forcing you to make some tough choices. The last point is a concession to the primary scoring mechanism in 9th. In ITC 8th, many GSC were lists happy to go second and pretty much take a mulligan on trying to do more than score hold one and popping a genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download units with mining lasers turn one, but accept that the opponent would get hold more, and start really fighting from turn 2.
I do not think you can afford to do this in 9th — ceding a 15pt primary score to your opponent in their second Command Phase is likely to put them on a trajectory to max their primary score and probably win the game. There genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download, of course, a positive way of looking at this too.
One of the ways to push back against GSC in ITC 8th was to castle up for a few turns around a single objective for hold one and focus on eradicating enough of their units to consistently score kill more in the mid game, then move out to start contesting the board in the late game.
With all those considerations in mind, here are two attempts at lists for the 9th edition missions. HQ Patriarch, Mass Hypnosis, Might From Beyond, Warlord — Biomorph Adaptation — Jackal Alphus — 75 Iconward, Icon of the Cult Ascendant — Troops 20 Acolytes with 5 Rocksaws, Icon — 20 Acolytes with 5 Rocksaws, Icon — 5 Acolytes with 2 Rocksaws — 60 5 Acolytes with 2 Rocksaws — 60 5 Acolytes with 2 Rocksaws — HQ Patriarch, Psychic Stimulus, Inescapable Decay — Iconward — Fast Attack 9 Atalan Jackals, autopistol and shotgun, 2 Wolfquads with mining lasers — 9 Atalan Jackals, knife and shotgun, 2 Wolfquads with mining lasers — This list then has a hefty number of Acolytes to allow two waves over turns two and three — you want to use one big squad for each, and spice in a number of smaller squads depending on how things are looking on the ground mostly whether your bikes are still alive.
HQ Patriarch, Undying Vigour, Mind Control, Warlord — Single-Minded Obsession — Jackal Alphus — 75 Iconward — Troops 10 Neophytes, two mining lasers — 80 10 Neophytes, two mining lasers — 80 10 Neophytes, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download, two mining lasers — 80 10 Neophytes — 60 10 Neophytes — Dedicated Transport Goliath Truck — 85 Goliath Truck — HQ Patriarch, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download, Mass Hypnosis, Might From Beyond — Iconward, buys Icon of the Cult Ascendant — Troops 15 Acolytes with 4 Rocksaws, Icon — 14 Acolytes with 4 Rocksaws, Icon — 10 Acolytes with 2 Rocksaws, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download, Icon — Genestealer Cults Kelermorph.
Here, rather than the bikes our pawns to push forward onto the middle objectives are two Goliath Trucks, which will be packing the two bare Acolyte squads the others wanting to kick around on the board so they can pick up the Jackal Alphus buff.
This list puts more bodies on the table early in a wider area, has a better early shooting punch and sneaks a Kelermorph in to give your opponent big headaches, but trades off in having a less durable early push than the Jackals and fewer Acolytes, genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download. With this list you ideally need to be bringing your Neophytes up the table as well, as with fewer Acolytes your goal is to use the initial punch from them to stagger the enemy back a bit rather than just descending into an all-out mid-table brawl.
Any surviving trucks after the initial round can help with this via bully charges and generally making a nuisance of themselves. As a final thing to look at then, are any of the core secondaries ones that GSC are especially genestealer cult codex 8th pdf download at?
That is, after all, what the Cults are supposed to do best.
