In the new Genestealer Cults Codex, up for pre order today, things have indeed been changed! New army mechanics have been added, old ones have been tweaked, profiles have been amended and some entirely removed from the book. Some units struggled while others became no-brainer picks, and it was always anticipated that things would be refreshed somewhat when the new Codex dropped. Lots of people (myself included) fell in love with the range and pledged ourselves to a terrifying alien race, welcoming them to us without perhaps realising what would happen when they arrived! The Cults have been in an odd spot since 9th edition with their ability to ambush lessened slightly by the fact that all units can come in as reinforcements in the current game.

Up for pre order today is Codex Genestealer Cults for Warhammer 40,000, allowing followers of the four armed emperor the chance to get their many hands on not only updated rules and profiles for 9th edition, but also access to some of the really cool stuff we have seen for the latest books such as Crusade content! Massive thanks to Games Workshop for providing a free copy for review purposes. As the Tyranid Hive Fleets drift through the void of space, the Genestealer Cults rise up to overthrow and disrupt the planetary defences in order to expedite the fall of the planet to horrors from beyond… only at the end do they realise their terrible fate. Hiding in plain sight within the manufactorums and industry are a network of individuals tainted with Xenos blood who are pulling the strings in the background to prepare for the coming of their gods. A deadly secret is spreading throughout the heart of the Imperium itself.
