Here's a Genestealer Cults list I've been tinkering with. I'm trying to stay in the theme of equipment that would be either on hand on a mining world, or could be improvised. That rules out Leman Russes, for instance, and some fun things I could take in an IG Brood Brothers detachment.
GSC Battalion
Patriarch (HQ)
-Might From beyond, x2 Familiar
Acolyte Iconward (HQ)
- Icon of the Cult Ascendant (why not? It's the only relic they have)
Primus (HQ)
Acolyte Hybrids (Troops)
- x2 w/hand flamers, x1 w/rocksaw, x1 w/heavy rock drill, acolyte leader w/bonesword & hand flamer
Neophyte Hybrids (Troops)
- x5 w/Autoguns, x2 w/Grenade Launchers, x2 w/Heavy Stubbers, leader w/autogun
Neophyte Hybrids (Troops)
- x7 w/shotguns, x2 w/flamers, leader w/power maul & autopostol
Neophyte Hybrids (Troops)
- x7 w/autoguns, x2 w/mining lasers, leader w/laspistol & power maul
Purestrain Genestealers (Elites)
- x16
Goliath Rockgrinder (Heavy Support)
- Clearance Incinerator
GSC Outrider
Magus (HQ)
-Mass Hypnosis
Armored Sentienl (Fast Attack)
- Lascannon
Armored Sentienl (Fast Attack)
- Lascannon
Armored Sentienl (Fast Attack)
- Lascannon
IG Spearhead Detachment (Brood Brothers)
Company Commander (HQ)
- Shotgun
HW Squad (Heavy Support)
- x3 Mortars
HW Squad (Heavy Support)
- x2 Missile Launchers, Lascannon
Cyclops Demolition Vehicle
------------------------
This is a hilariously squishy, silly list that generates 8cp that will all be used entirely for rerolling the Cult Ambush results as needed. Tactics? Sit back and shoot with the HW squads, the sentinels, and the one squad of neophytes with GLs and stubbers, push the Goliath full of hybrids and the cyclops up the board, and infiltrate the hell out of the rest of the army. Obviously the main event will be the ENORMOUS SWARM of genestealers rolling onto the table with the Patriarch in tow. They charge after advancing, and can dump 80 Str 5 AP -1 (-4 on a roll of 6+ to hit) into a single target, and are fearless and hit on a 2+ thanks to the Patriarch. Not sure where the Iconward should go, as he buffs morale, melee, and helps negate wounds. If I could get him on the table within 6in of the genestealers, that would be amazing because it could bump their Str up to 6. The Magus is going to ride around in the rock grinder, then pile out to fling smite or Mass Hypnosis at whoever the Hybrids are about to charge.
