CODEX: GENESTEALER CULTS (ENG)

Genestealer Cults emerge from the shadows in a wave of mutant acolytes, traitors and predatory xenos monsters. They use ambushes and subterfuge to outwit their enemies, turning industrial mining equipment and converted civilian vehicles into powerful weapons of rebellion against the hated imperial oppressors. Propaganda, mind control and assassination are weapons in their arsenal. Indestructibly corrupted by Tyranid gene possession, these cults fight back with the coordination of swarming insects and the zeal of true believers, convinced that they are freedom fighters whose heroic efforts will bring them divine reward. In reality, they are agents of destabilisation and anarchy - living weapons planted behind enemy lines to spread, multiply and undermine Humanity's fight against the oncoming Tyranid swarm fleets. As the Genestealer Cults raise their wyrm-shaped icons over the blazing panoramas of more and more imperial planets, it becomes clear that this ghastly plan is working all too well.... This magnificent book contains pages of background and rules for the Genestealer Cults - the insurgent vanguard of the Tyranid swarm fleets. Learn all about the lifecycle of the cult and how they pave their way into Imperial society, sowing discontent and leading rebellious uprisings to soften the planet's defences against the coming of the Great Devourer. Inside this 112-page hardcover book you will find: - In-depth background and lore on the Genestealer Cults as they take over planets and prepare them for the Great Devourer, plus their infestation of Chalnath. - Thrilling graphics that will inspire your Cults to deeds worthy of emulation - All the rules needed to create an army of Genestealer Cults, including 22 datasheets covering every unit, from the Reductus Saboteur to the Acoylte to the revered Patriarch. - A full set of rules for playing Crusade and narrative games, including Agendas, Battle Traits, Requirements, Crusade Relics, plus rules for following the Path of Ascension, allowing you to spark your own Cult uprising - An 'Eavy Metal' miniatures display full of beautifully painted Genestealer Cults figures.
