There should be a video game where you play as Genestealer Patriarch. You infiltrate a Imperial planet, infect population, build your cult, collect resources and equipment and finally rise a rebellion
Put them in Mechanicus 3, it'd suit really well from what has been shown of Mechanicus 2 making the Necrons playable. And after the novel Day of Ascension GSC vs Mechanicus would be a great matchup.
I find think what makes Tyranids more unique compared to most alien locust swarm archetypes in sci-fi is the fact they are clearly the most competent and strategically minded military force in the setting. A Tyranid hive-mind doesn't just bum rush you, they'll attack your souls, your minds, your means of communication and travel, undermine your very genetics... In a setting where even the "strategic geniuses" tend to resort to hitting things very hard with a big stick there's something so appealing about an enemy that is so insidiously effective.
Huge fan of the Genestealer Cults, can't wait for more content on them. I would love to see more lore with them as viewpoint characters and maybe mix things up a bit outside of their typical MO. It would add a freshness to a faction that could be more than it's usually presented. Regardless they're a lot of fun and I'm excited for more.
I don't play Genestealers, but I have to say the way that footage of the Cults are presented more as found footage actually helps build the horror of the cult. While most other Faction Focuses present their threat in broad daylight, this one emphasizes the more sublte, secretive nature of the cults that one can only speculate about.
(Where are all the comments!? Rise up, comrades!) If we can't have Astra Militarum in most detachments, please GW, at least give us a 40k datasheet (into Codex GSC) for the new Brood Brothers Kill Team, reflecting that box's wargear! Then we have an excuse to buy multiple boxes!
Really great lore! GW has some great IP, I better go and get my genestealers painted 😅. My wish would be a new version of the Space Hulk board game. That is my favorite game GW has made.
I mean, from the point of view of a genestealer, isn't a quick painful bath better than imperium rule. Kinda like how cthulu cultist are technically the most reasonable people in Lovecraft.
Genestealer Cults are my favorite faction from 40K. It's tragic that they lose whether the rebellion wins or fails. They remind me of the Flesh-Eater Courts from Age of Sigmar (whose lore, not coincidentally, one of the best in that setting).
So these lads and lasses fight tooth and nail for the Hive fleet and then are just killed by it together with everyone else? Galaxy's biggest chumps right there. Nice minis though.
I have always love the idea of having space marines who specialise in wiping out tryanids and genestealer cults. Imagine if the night lords, Alpha Legion and Slamadars were combined as one. That would be by dream chapter. Throw in a bit of Iron Warriors. Perfections
How a Astarte could be a judge on the street for such heroic act's in these dark times searching for the heretic the xenos the chaos the Street off necromunder beneath the surface off the imperial machine. 😃😄😁😆😅5 Smile's.
hear me out. we do a warhammer themed among us style game. 2 neophyte hybrids in the Astra militarim who's goal is to sabatoge their unit. while everyone else is a regular guardsmen and you have to find out who the traitors are and report them to the commissar
If I could change one thing about 40k lore it would be to make the Genestealers a seperate faction. I hate the fact that they are basically just fodder for the Nids and nothing they do on an individual level has any meaning because they're just going to get eaten by the "sTaR cHiLdReN". Also, I don't play Genestealer Cults.
I still don’t get it because in space hulk the game the are like 3 big genestearles de bloodlord the sistreit sorry I don’t remember well nada another with bloodlord so….. the are the patriarch o no ?
"magus is a psychic powerhouse" when can we see that on the tabletop
Give the magus a psychic shooting attack! The Four Armed Emperor protects!
Play Kill Team, the new Genestealer Cult Kill Team's Magus is plenty scary 😅
It's a prank isn't?
There should be a video game where you play as Genestealer Patriarch. You infiltrate a Imperial planet, infect population, build your cult, collect resources and equipment and finally rise a rebellion
agreed
Or maybe a dungeon keeper style cult sim. Genestealer cult and chaos cult option.
I'd play the heck out of that
Put them in Mechanicus 3, it'd suit really well from what has been shown of Mechanicus 2 making the Necrons playable. And after the novel Day of Ascension GSC vs Mechanicus would be a great matchup.
Better yet: A far cry-style game where you play as a revolutionary-you can spec into the different mutations as skill trees lol

But they have major dowside
No plot armor
Hot damn, these visuals are beautiful....
I hope one day we get full length t.v shows
The Black and White (and red) visuals are from a series on Warhammer plus. It's quite good.
It's from angels of death
2:20 "the genstealers are in your walls"
Mine have gone back underground to gather their strength as they wait for the next balance dataslate…

The novels Day of Ascension, Cult of the Spiral Dawn, and Renegades: Lord of Excess all feature genestealer cultist PoV sections.
If you haven't read the novel Day of Ascension, you should.
@baynemacgregor8441 I have and I quite enjoyed it!
Welcome star children. Would you like something to eat?
"Yes. You! Nom nom nom!"
I was hoping the cult would be in space marine 2
Genestealer cults are such an original and interesting concept for a faction, I wish they were more popular
Like the Emperor said to Mortarion throught Guilliman "they are as much victims as they are monsters"

By far the coolest 40k army for me.
They seem pretty chill
1:44 They infected Bautista
After reading Day of Acsension, would love to see Genestealer Skitarii since they used some of the cult members as Skitarii Vanguard/Rangers
With this new codex, they won't be taking any world what-so-ever.
And I'm saying that as a GSC player.
"Jurgen! Grab the melta!"
You making s’mores with that melta???
"Right you are Sir. Cup of tanna?"
The day of ascension is on the horizon...

Or... use the Brood Brother detachment? Not every cult will be successful in infiltrating guard
2:24 "...already within your walls" is the percfect summary for the Genestealer Cults!
One of the best focuses so far!
Glory to the Four Armed Emperor
I love these videos! Btw, well done on the latest Tyranid changes, you did an excellent job!
It’s real Call of Cthulhu hours with my cult.
Save the Rebellion! Save the Dream!
What the heck am I doing here, I have a Summer Exam and I don't even own any 40k models.
I shall patiently wait for the Genestealer cults painting guide
Happy Hisssss Noises ! 🐙
Hisssss
My favorite faction for decades!
I played them in 1st and 2nd edition! So very glad they brought them back.
MORE TOBY LONGWORTH!!
PRAISE BE!
Really great lore! GW has some great IP, I better go and get my genestealers painted 😅. My wish would be a new version of the Space Hulk board game. That is my favorite game GW has made.
My favorite faction!
Nice video for beginners.
But also please added at the faction focus playlist video about custodes

Video game where the Genestealer Cults are the focus would be 🔥
That does remind me of a video game called Mutant Rampage Bodyslam.
1:44 looks like Dave Bautista ngl
MY PEOPLE WILL RISE
WE SHALL OVERCOME
THE EMPEROR SMILES UPON US
THE REVENGE WILL BE OURS
REJOICE, CHILDREN OF THE STAR GODS
i feel like this was inspired by the Dead Space church of unitology heralding the Convergence.

What’s worst than Tyranids?
SMART Tyranids

Is the footage from a Warhammer+ show? Which is it from?
angels of death
And it's really quite good. And it has some backstory prequel episodes too. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for a second season.
Here I thought the Drukari were bad enough!
ËMPEROR PROTECTS!
With whole 4 arms!
Please return old genestealers in limos and from aristocracy. They were a bit cooler than rebel miners.
thanks gamesworkshop for the absurd nerf
is this voiced by the guy who voiced Kazarion in angels of death?

Superior datasheets? Points decreases? Y'all have forgotten the true way to victory. To drown your enemy in more models than they have bullets.
As an aeldari player i ask : do you know when will we know the continuation of the road map of the codex ?
Where new battle line for genestealer GW?
Lisan al Gaib!!
hey, do Thousand Sons, please
Best faction
Lies! Your blasphemy will doom your soul on the day of ascension!
Cool where's tyberos?
LETS GOOO
I still don’t get it because in space hulk the game the are like 3 big genestearles de bloodlord the sistreit sorry I don’t remember well nada another with bloodlord so….. the are the patriarch o no ?
What?
is it a cult if your forced to join?
Fix the cult ambush please! 😢 Faction rule on 5+ is lazy and frustration mechanic! 😢
Lovely
First

Can't shake the feeling it is an AI voice, which is a letdown if true.
You're joking, right?
This chap has read loads of books for black library
@@officialwarhammer loyal servants of the Emperor resorting to Abominable Intelligence? Surely not!
Pretty sure it's Johnathan Keeble, who does quite a lot of voice acting work for Games Workshop.
Good news then, it's not. It's Toby Longworth.
