 Pages 98 to 115 "Warhammer 40,000 Compilation". This is a 1991 "Rogue
Trader" era book. This dates back to BEFORE Genestealers were made a
part of the Trynads. The Chaos aspect is explicit and part of the
original army list. If any thing I toned down the Chaos aspect of the
Cults.

The same book also has army list for Genestealer Invasion Forces, which
are a mix of Purestrain and Hybrid stealers, but are more or less do
able in normal E40K, with just a little tweaking of the normal 'Nids
army list.
