Throughout the imperium, the threat of Tyranid invasion has lurked like a =
hidden
tumor, eating away at the core of humanity in the form of insidius G=
enestealer
Cults. These cults thrive in the hive worlds, where the empire'=
s watchful eye
is often distracted. These subversive covens of heretics sl=
owly garner their
power and gather their numbers, waiting for the time to s=
trike at the oppressors
who would persecute them. Often, these insurrectio=
ns are small in scale, but if
successful, can increase until a planetwide r=
evolution is under way. In some
cases, entire legions of Imperial guard an=
d planetary defense forces are
subverted and corrupted towards the cults' i=
nsidious ways, sometimes even
managing to take hold of the mighty war engin=
es of the imperium. The heretics'
frenzied devotion to their cause makes t=
heir numbers a firce to be reckoned with
in large quantities.

This is pret=
ty good, just a few suggestions. I'd give 10 main force/support slots inste=
ad of 5(let me guess, you play eldar :). You might want to keep the 5 suppo=
rt slots though, since the actuall army list had little support. Also, I wo=
uld make geanstealers a main force choice as well as a support unit. Also, =
allow a few more bodyguards for the supreme commander. You also might want =
to make the partriarc avalable to be a detachment commander also.This is be=
cause a cult should have, well lots of genestealers. Also you could mention=
that they can ally with chaos. Anyway, this is quite good though.
