I have pictures of a Patriarch that I have.


Cool, isn't that one of the old 40k Familiar models that came with the Magus figures?....
Looks perfect to use in Epic- Great idea CyberShadow... :D

Cybershadow, those are the same "old School" familiars that I use for my Patriarchs and I use 2 other types of those "old" models for my Chaos Spawn, too, as well as my Greater Deamons (you can see them on the Epicollector site). ?Here's my version, based on SM1 Cultist. These are in number of dets. by type. ?Genestealers 1+, Patriarch 0-1, Hybrids 0-2 (I used some old Scotia models), Spawn 0-3, Coven/Chaos Magi/Magus 1. Each Cult consists of any combination of 6 (total) of the following dets. - Cultist Inf. 2-5 (includes Tac. & Assault dets.), Mtd. Cultists 0-4 (R/Rides & Bikes), Beastmen 0-4, Spt Wpns 0-1 ?(incls. Rapiers, T/guns, Mortars, Tarantulas), Vehicles 0-2 ( L/Russ, Rhinos, any IG AFV), ?Sentinals or robots 0-1, Artillery 0-1, (any IG type), Chaos Artifact Weapon 0-1 (based on Patron Power, Daemon Engines, Knights, Plague Tower, Lord of Battles, etc.). ?If I find an acceptable model(s) for a Limo, I'll add it. ?I also have an option to use other Tyranid, models for an expanded G/S Cult, too, including Tyranids, Lictors and any other 'Nid inf. types (0-1 mostly) available on the sprue (I have 10 sprues worth). ?This could be a very powerful force and give anybody a tough time, but as I said, I've never used it in a game :{ , ?yet ...   I use the IG vehicles and troops  from my Guard Regts., so I didn't have to make Cultist only models. However the Magnus is a combination of SM1/2 "Old Guard" troops & E40K Cultists Leader, and the Cultist Assault Troops are 4 "Old Guard" gunners & 1 E40K Cultist.

Cool. Thanks for that L4. It looks like an interesting force. I think that the main thing that you have allowed that I have not are the Chaos battle gifts. I did think about them, but in the end I decided on simply adding a Chaos Cultist detachment. (One of the first two GW things that I bought was a GS/Khorne Cult - which is where I got the Imperial Guard models, Tuff!)

As for mutants, I am sure that they will be very interesting. Personally, I plan to take my time with these guys and have some fun. But, remember that mutations can include a third eye, spitting acid, webbed fingers, brightly coloured skin, and an ability to strangely pick the fastest queue in the supermarket!  :D  I guess that what I am saying is that mutants dont HAVE to be heavily converted.

I'm glad you showed some interest, it's a flexible system and should be fun to play on the table. I saw in the E-A Chaos lists, they show Limos and some type of Transport for Cultists, so hopefully they will make some "neat" models. ?I look forward to it. ?Mutations on 6mm scale might just be easily reflected in the rules, but if you have the urge, go for it. ? ? Thanks again ... :D

It finally happened! It has taken a while due to a severe shortage of time, but the next version of the Genestealer Cult Force has arrived, and been updated in the Additional Rules section of www.epic40k.co.uk.

Check it out and let me know what you think. Seriously, any type of feedback is welcomed - first impressions, actual playtesting, thoughts on the background, new units, units which dont fit, stats and points... anything.

Basic changes involve a lot of the feedback that I have received both here and via the EpicA Vault. Primarily, I have changed the stats and points values of Purestrains to match the ones in the Tyranid list (I had overcharged quite considerably). I have not made all of the changes that were suggested, as I have left things as they are where I have had further thoughts, or simply not decided what is best.

Thanks guys, and I look forward to hearing from you.

I received my Imperial Guard Character packs from MO this morning.

These are very nice models. ?Nothing miscast in any of the blisters, which is good.

The contents are:

2 Commissar Yarricks

3 Commissars

9 Officers (5 differing models)

3 Standard Bearers (2 differing models)

5 Sanctioned Psykers (2 differing models)

1 Ogryn

3 Vox-operators

3 Guardsmen (a funny looking model this one, has an open great coat a large hat and a lasgun, I guess you could use it as an officer if you wanted)

You get these on 6 sprues in the blister, in this way.

Sprue 1 (one per blister):

Ogryn, Standard Bearer, Officer, Officer (both officers on this sprue are quite fancy looking, I think they are meant to be Supreme Commanders)

Sprue 2 (three per blister):

Officer, Vox-operator, Psyker, Guardsman, Commissar

Sprue 3 (two per blister):

Officer, Standard Bearer, Psyker, Officer, Yarrick

This pack is great, I really like the variation of the officers, and nearly all of the models are very well done. ?

My favourite model has to be the regular Commissar. ?He has a Powerfist and Bolter, and the extra detail that has been sculpted on him (its based on the old plastic commissar) is great.

Are all the characters modeled with the steel legion breather mask?

By looking at the picture it would appear they are, can you confirm this?

Thanks for the report.

Most of them have a mask.  The only ones that don't are Yarrick and the Sanctioned Psykers.

Appreciate that. Looks like these character packs are turning out to be pretty high quality.
