You may have seen these images floating around the net this morning on BoLS or Lady Atia's page, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to show them to you. For some time there have been rumours of the return of the Genestealers cults from the late 1980s, and today we have finally seen the leaked images from next week's White Dwarf. Back when Genestealers were just that and not part of the Tyranid Hive Mind, there were human devotees who formed cults and then armies of followers who not only spread the Genestealer doomsday cult and in turn the precious gene seed the Genestealers needed to conquer any new planet they wanted. There were a few miniatures released, but mostly the then-new Imperial Guard plastics where kit-bashed to provide the fodder. Well no more, because here are the brand new Genestealer Cult minis that come in the new Deathwatch Overkill boxed set. These look awesome, especially the Magus and Primus and what a brilliantly faithful update the Hybrids are too!! |
It's been a big gap between Betrayal at Calth and the much-anticipated separate troop builder boxes, so will getting the Deathwatch Overkill be better value for money anyway? Remember the Age of Sigmar boxed set experience? That box was amazing value compared to the prices for the individual boxes.
