Genestealer Cults - My Top Unit Picks (or a few of them anyway)

- This video was supposed to be a lot longer but half of the footage corrupted when I tried to transfer it from my phone!
Obviously Acolytes and Neophytes are the standard ham and cheese / bread and butter of the faction so I skipped over them in this.
Love your content. You are the only RUclipsr I know of who not only focuses on GSC but actually knows what they are talking about. Quick request - I’m a newer player who wants to play GSC as I love the models. Would you consider doing a starting an army video where you give a pathway to 2000 points based around starting with the combat patrol box? Not looking for something competitive, just a pathway that will help me and other noobs get an army together that can help us learn the faction. Not looking to play anything outside games at local stores where nobody plays GSC.
Appreciated! I tend to avoid recommending army lists as they’re personal to the player - it makes sense to them and the reasons why they bring each unit - it’s purpose and role within the army. But maybe I’ll change my mind 😝
You've been MIA for too long, glad you're back with advice/help.
I do actually have quite a lot of content prepped now so stay tuned :P
@@ZaraKane liked, sub'd, and notifications on as always!
Awesome food for thought! So glad pure strains and Patriarch is in the top picks as that's what brought me to play the army!
Purestrain + They Came From Below = terror!
Always love the videos Zara! I tried 3 very different variations of GSC with the new dex (Twisted Helix Genestealers + Patriarchs in trucks, one of just all the new stuff, another of just CORE and bodies). I've settled right now on a list that goes hard on the Industrial Weapons with Industrial Affinity and crossfire, and it's been crushing my opponents so far - though I think the real test of it will be this weekend at a local tourney. A big thing that I think you need to try and cover are our Bikers. They are so useful if you're going with a Crossfire build, as they can threaten to turn on Exposed early, and then zip around the table to provide True Exposed later.
Very true.......I rarely talk about the Jackals.....but theyre the unit I use the least. I dont have the experience to make a full judgement on them.
Could you explain to me why is industrial affinity so good on shooting lists? It seems to negate your crossfire ability. I run rusted claw with my shooting list and it seems better to be able to move and shoot also without penality.
@@thermanek the key is that it lets you pick and choose which modifiers affect your attacks. So crossfire can give you +1 hit whilst you ignore any negatives or penalties for moving
@@ZaraKane Thanks, didnt know you can choose, i thought its all or nothing. Nevertheless is it still not better to be able to advance and shoot without penality? Gives you nice extra movement. Would be nice if you could combine it with hivecults actions and shooting, but like this I still dont see it better then the advanceshoot. What other myriads would you choose with it? transhuman? or fellbackshoot? advanceshoot? or automatic crossfire?
@@thermanek Rusted Claws ability dosnt work after coming in from deepstrike , or when getting out of a transport. This one does.
Also you’re forgetting that this works for Rock Cutters too!
Great see you in the flesh, love the outfit
I used to keep my Patriarch in the back early in my GSC experience until I learned he can bring a bucket full of hurt on pretty much anything he gets up close and personal to.
Perfectly timed. I should be having my first game with mine this week. Thanks Zara.
So the Patty locus neo combo would work but only if you also had say a truck closer than they are. I had actually done this trick in a league game and my opponent looked over the board and realized i had spread my trucks and ridgerunners out to where the neophytes were impossible to shoot at with my characters. and with how easy it is for use to spread our vehicles (i say vehicles because they are durable af) out it is highly likely you will have vehicles closer than you will the patty combo, at least until you are ready to just shred that front line right open.
Could always charge a Rockgrinder up ahead 🤷🏼♀️
Dude I was worried about you spilling that damn drink for the whole 24 minutes of this video.
😂
nooooo rip the rest of the video
Can confirm, the pauper princes xenoprophet/reliqary + blobs of neophytes with icons + acolyte iconward is a tough combo, if they shoot at the neophytes you have a 5++ and you have 2 chances to get 6 back, ends with a scary tough blob
I love the reroll charges for the Cult of the 4-Armed Emperor. The security of getting that charge to succeed is keeps me from getting the buffs from Twisted Helix. If going Twisted Helix what ways are there to have more success getting there on the charge?
Trap sprung, Iconward…..or just getting in closer in the first place!
yeah that was one of the first things I saw, and nobody even talks about it. Mostly see BC and PP. I was going to use 20 abbrants for the 5+ invul, but it cost 4 cp. The stratagem is xenoform bionics from BC. I know you can get the invul down to a 4+, but I forget how. I think it's from an HQ that can give an aura over to the aberrants.
@@fkaroundhandleit The Invulnerable aura is from the Reliquiary of Saint Tenndarc, the Pauper Princes relic, and it gives a 5+ invuln to CORE within 6"
+1 for the content, +1 for the ID4 reference. Good to see you posting again Zara, and I would much prefer you took your time and got a spot you're happy with when taking the Clamavus podium to tell us grubby acolytes your thoughts. Cheers from the colony!
Question: Does the Bio-Alchemist WT affect the damage increase on the Patriarch's 6s as well? I would've thought it only increased the DMG 2 to DMG 3 on the profile.
Indeed it does - max 4D on the 6 rolls!
@@ZaraKane Hell. YEAH. Ol' Snippy gonna be getting bizzay. Cheers.
Hey, Dave. When are we meeting up? Curious about your hourly rates.
Good stuff. Certainly agree with you on the purestrains. I'd make the case for bikes too. I'm going to try a TH 1000pts list with 6 bikes with They Came from Below: 15 + 15 normal move turn 1...
Bikes are just not my style so it would be unfair of me to say they suck/rule without really spending the time to explore them.
@@ZaraKane yeah of course. You seem to have a super aggressive play style and I think that bikes would compliment that. What's not to love about smashing an enemy unit in the face with a demo charge in melee? Last time out, 58 points of bikes blew up a scrap jet turn 1 then tied up a blob of tankbusters for the whole game.
I'm starting a crusade game soon. Would you try and squeeze a Patriarch in at low points list or go for one of the more affordable HQ's?
He’s the best at low points games ! Definitely
@@ZaraKane Thanks!
thank you for your insight
Thanks for the insights!
Great Video
You're so gorgeous Zara 🖤☺💜
So in thero you could make 2 detachment wth patriacs and crapload of genestealers (900 points) and 2 kellermorph and 4 grps of neophite ? Hmm might not work but still .... ppl need to deal wth this 1 turn charge..
I overlooked the fall back and charge of the nomads mantle for rusted claw. I'll be paying special attention to this moving forward. Thank you
Absolutely gorgeous 😍 would love to see more content about you
Gonna be playing them in our crusade campaign game at my LGS
Amazing video and some sound advice. I’m looking forward to getting the patriarch and a Kelermorph out vs Imperium this weekend.
Patriarch is a joy to use 🤛
They've FAQ'd Prowling Agitatant so your opponent can charge something else now.
( yeh I included a note about that on the screen! ) 👍
Was waiting for this! Why is the Truck so good? What about the Grinder?
The transport capacity….open topped….durability….they’re just essential!
Just started GSC and trying to build up a 25 PL list for a store tourney. Been looking for decent GSC content, so you've got a subscriber.
Oh, I'm going Bladed Cog with a Jackal Alphus. How much am I skiing uphill? ;-)
@@walstafa alphus is sadly one of the least useful characters in the new codex. Which is a shame!
Ah well, I'm just charmed by the sniper on the weaponized dirt bike so I'll give her a shot!
