Genestealer cults in E41K
This E41K army list is derived from the Genestealer army list in "War
hammer 40,000 Compilation" ["The Yellow Book"]. Genestealer cults are
an odd mix of the Tyranid, Imperial Guard and Chaos army lists. As such
some of the point values are NOT the same as they are in the basic army
list. This is most strongly shown in the cost of demons in this army
list. The point values for demons are based on the point value given
for them in the Compilation's army list.
A Genestealer cult is a genestealer infestation that has turned to Chaos
for additional power. It's objective is to take over a world, not act
as the "leading edge" of a Tyranid hive fleet invasion. It is a great
enemy force for the Sisters of Battle (AKA "Nuns with Guns") and the
Adeptus Arbiters, both of which have Army list on the E41K Web site. (

Genestealers are , at their core, of course Tyranid, at least in the
current version of WH40K, in the RT era, from which this is based, they
were a separate race from the Hive Fleets. As such the basic rules for
a Genestealer cult are based on the E40K Tyranid army list rules. You
use the Tyranid detachment sheet to generate a Genestealer Cult, with
some modifications. You must take a "Coven" as the 3 Synapse creatures
and you must take at least one "Pure Strain Genestealer brood". The
standard E40K rules for leadership test for Tyranid are in effect, for
all members of this army (i.e. as long as one member of the coven is
alive, all members of the detachment auto-pass leadership tests.)
