ModernAbout Genestealer Cults
Hidden uprisings that pave the way for the Tyranid hive fleets.
Genestealer Cults grow in the dark of Imperial worlds: infected bloodlines, mining unions, and planetary defence forces turned from within. By the time the Imperium notices, the cult is already a shadow army.
Kits mix infantry, characters, and hybrid monsters. Combat Patrols are the cleanest sealed entry. Character and brood kits are often parted out on eBay, so title matching matters.
Themes: Insurrection · Tyranids · Hybrid brood
Where to start
Combat Patrol: Genestealer Cults for a sealed baseline. Add a Patriarch or Magus when you want a display centrepiece. Cross-shop Tyranid Battleforces only if you want allied monsters.
