On on hand I'm very excited by the idea of the Cult getting some "official" attention, and accessible models. On the other hand, with GW's current handling of, and respect for, setting background and quality of rules-writing (luckily I can ignore the latter joyfully!), I fear they will mess things up... <br />Also, currently Genestealer Cults are products of love, either loving conversions or loving collecting of old school models. If we get "standard" models, that uniqueness and quality of hobby effort will be lessened. Certain people may even disparage the loving custom cults as being "not the official models". <br />But the bits, think of all the extra bits for conversion, and the ease of acces!Modhailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501755346409102920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-83327281987102603152015-02-26T16:01:03.691+00:002015-02-26T16:01:03.691+00:00I am purely speculating here, obviously, but I wou...I am purely speculating here, obviously, but I would imagine that a potential Genestealer Cult release of the size of the Harlequin release would consist of probably exactly the same amount of shelf space in terms of kits. <br /><br />The Harlequins consist of three boxes (a vehicle, a pair of bikes and a squad of infantry) and three clampack characters. For the laugh I am going to guess the following would be the release:<br /><br />1. Hybrid box<br />2. Brood Brother/Cultist box<br />3. Vehicle (likely)/Stealer Brood (unlikely)/Mounted troops (unlikely)<br />4. Patriarch<br />5. Magus<br />6. ??? a Heirarch maybe? Maybe some other large new thing.<br />plus a Codex and cards.<br /><br />My thinking:<br /><br />Hybrids: a box of hybrids is a must, fairly modular to make Acolyte and Neophyte units/models as desired.<br /><br />B.Brothers: GW dont push the idea of kitbashing the same way as they once did. They want a single purchase that allows for one or two codex unit types rather than expecting people to combine say Astra Militarum with Chaos cultists. So the rabble would be Cult specific I reckon, which would be ace.<br /><br />Vehicles are very important in modern 40k from what I can see going on on tables at cons. My guess would be some sort of hummvee affair, possibly with some modular parts that allow it to have a slightly more affluent/luxurious config to reference the daft but entertaining limo concept. I doubt that mounted miniatures would be part of a release, but who knows?<br /><br />Patriarch: would have to happen. With the new mod of the Space Hulk Broodlord available in that Blood Angel/Tyranid box a further variant or brand new design would be a certainty I think. Probably less lardy than previous versions, but who knows?<br /><br />Magus: essential, possibly with options to make a Heirarch instead.<br /><br />Ill be in my bunk...<br /><br /><br /><br />cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-55541637694208601142015-02-26T10:37:54.600+00:002015-02-26T10:37:54.600+00:00Don't we all :DDon't we all :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705381808337789656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-10680419964121820242015-02-26T10:01:07.710+00:002015-02-26T10:01:07.710+00:00I fervently hope your fears are well founded.I fervently hope your fears are well founded.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-38988113251491451372015-02-26T10:00:34.150+00:002015-02-26T10:00:34.150+00:00In fairness, most of my 40k universe games take pl...In fairness, most of my 40k universe games take place using Pulp Alley rules, which are very elegant indeed.
