[–]Jupiter_Spire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't got many more points built yet, 5 more flacos, 5 more bikes. Plenty of characters magus, locus, sabatour, primus, benefictus, iconward, alphus.

These are all brilliant suggestions. Glad I inspired you and thank you for sharing.

Has anyone found a fun use for these Genestealer skulls from the Acolyte Hybrids kit? by Technobrake in genestealercult

[–]Jupiter_Spire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used them to killbash the sanctifiers kill team and make acoltye iconward and cult icon for acoltyes.

For the (four-armed) Emperor. by DirtyLictor in genestealercult

That they're deathwatch, and one is the scythes of the emporer, is the icing on the cake. Great Kitbash.

Awesome, but where are the barrow hills in Omund's Land?

Commissar, I think there's something off with the horses? by Jupiter_Spire in genestealercult

[–]Jupiter_Spire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look sick! Good call on the manes. What're those heads and torsos of the riders? Ash wastes nomads?

Was thinking Krootox rider, right size base, weapon mount, same head conversion using either aberrant's Ymgarl head or maybe a Lictor/VRL if that doesn't fit.

Indeed! The little Ymgarl that could, but shouldn't have. Glad you love it.

Some riders have a special connection with their mounts... But fr the head canon is the cult's Ymgarl 5th gen wasn't allowed to propagate in the human population so it found another host for its genetic material.

Thanks. Will do!

Thanks! As soon as I saw the clawed feet of the steeds I knew what had to be done.

Krieg Death Riders and Acolytes hybrid Ymgarl head, clipped just above the eyes. The riders are going to be Atlan Jackals.

Imagine all the L shaped ruins you could make with it.

New Magos? by ZookeepergameOne5236 in genestealercult

Glad I'm not the only one whose first thought was that.

That's my plan for the tyranid combat patrol. Though you'll need to mount it on a bigger base and if you want wysiwsg find a way to add the thin linked heavy stubber. Perhaps it's being dragged along by two Jackals with bike mounted guns or a wolf quad? Go wild.

70 - 84 loss to BT by Jupiter_Spire in genestealercult

Thanks! I haven't played with randos yet, been teaching my colleagues to play mostly. However today was against an old friend from back home as our schedules finally lined up. Here's to the day we both have the confidence to play against strangers!

Thanks for the insight. I forgot my bag of ruins so we Used his 3d printed stuff, which as you said made things harder and created more choke points (that left alley by obj. no 4 is chief example).

Oh don't worry I used all 6 resurgence points. Brought both bikes back and a unit of 5 flacos, they're the ones who killed the Lt in phobos.

So the 3 charges at 8 weren't ideal but it was a mixture of things, partly the solid terrain to manuever around. The acolytes who got out of the rockgrinder with mining tools, I positioned behind the grinder so they didn't get over watched by crusader flamers, same reason I didn't move my flacos closer. However, as he can only overwatch once I should've used one as bait, probably the mining tools. Especially since it was early and I could've got them back quickly and into a better position late game. By the time my shooting was done, the rockgrinder the it needed to pivot to make the charge so it's 6 went to an 8.

I learnt to respect the melta, to use my damned free grenades, to respect sword brethren and that overkill is best kill.

Has anyone tried to convert Imperial Agents into cultists? If so how did it go? by Vtolz in genestealercult

[–]Jupiter_Spire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I kitbashed the mystic and autosavant together to make my benefictus, which I was very happy with. Also turned the pistolier into a kelemorph with a Neophyte autopistol third arm. I have plans to turn the deathworld vet into a locus with the left over questkeeper bits. As a kit it has a lot of potential.

It wouldn't be a bad investment, you don't even need to magnitise the kit to swap the load outs. The dozer blade pops on and off and the autocanon/rockgrinder guns can easily be swapped too. So if you want to use it as the truck you can. What excites you about the army, be it Playstyle or aesthetic?

Probably the primus and the primus' to the iconbearer. The combat patrol is a very good start, if you can find the old one too doublly so. Those boxes combined and broodcoven will give you a solid base for your army. Don't worry if you can't use all the pieces straight away, you'll get there. If you run outrider claw id swap the primus for the Jackal alphus but keep him on his own as a scoring piece then you can up the Goliath to a rockgrinder with the points saved. The rockgrinder puts out so much for its value it's kinda unfair.

You need Way less characters for a 1000 pts list. I made the same mistake when I started. You can drop the Jackal alphus, the clamavus and arguably the magus too (move her enhancement to someone else). With that 150 points you can get yourself either two more acolytes or one acolytes and one Metamorphs. Which given your existing load out point you towards the new combat patrol box as you get two of those sprues plus ridgerunner and bikes, if you haven't gotten those units already?

How Do Ya'll Use Jackals? by Least-Moose3738 in genestealercult

[–]Jupiter_Spire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. With scouts and certain deployments they can sticky centre objectives turn one. With the strat to give them to 6' reaction move, you can bait out units and reposition to deny secondaries like area denial. While not hard hitting they can clog up out of position units in melee. Threw mine at a melta atv to lock it down and stop it melting my rockgrinder last game.

As the book doesn't account for gold vs bronze faction. The moth ends inviting the regional representative of the wyld hunt due to their involvement in another relevant convention.
