Last weeks article covered a standard unit in a phenomenal Codex. The Dominus is a solid buffing character who just feels slightly underpowered and over costed compared to some other characters in the meta currently. A 75 point Succubus, Drazar (even after his 10 points price increase from Chapter Approved), or even some other characters…

Should you Dominus or No?
With the release of the new Adeptus Mechanicus Codex many players are going to be taking a fresh look at all the units in the new book. That may mean these models need dusting off the shelves, or it may mean some of the staple Admech units from before will be taking their place. With…
Forget Mars, Lucius is the Way
After seeing the reviews of the new Adeptus Mechanicus Codex many players rate Mars as the best Forge World. The benefits of belonging to the red planet’s priesthood are absolutely powerful, and while Wrath of Mars received a cap on it’s mortal wound output, it is still extremely valuable for 1CP on units of 10…
A Return to 40k Tournaments
Way back in March of 2020 I signed up for a Major that was going on in my local area. I had attended a few RTTs and a couple of GTs over the last few years, but this was to be my first Major (I bet you can all see where this is going). I…
Pauper Princes 5-3 at the Dallas Open?!
I was very excited to see a fellow Genestealer Cults player perform extremely well at the Dallas Open last weekend, but I was equally as confused when I opened the player’s army list to see how they won five out of their eight games. The first thing I saw was a Battalion Detachment of Pauper…
So You Are Playing Against a 70% Win Rate Faction: Now What?
The latest Drukhari codex has begun it’s real space raid on the competitive meta, and these angstier elves are showing no mercy. According to the 40k stat keepers, Codex Drukhari came away from a weekend of events with over a 70% win rate. As you may have heard from various 40k talk shows, this…
How Not to Get Bamboozled During a Game of 40k
I regret to inform you that I have already bamboozled you.
You Wanna Talk About Practice?!
While usually my articles bring you solid(ish) advice on playing Genestealer Cults in 40k this week we will look at a more general topic that all players can benefit from even if they aren’t playing a faction with a 40% win rate! 40k is a hobby with many different layers it’s players can enjoy. From…
Keeping GSC Competitive
When perusing the internet for Genestealer Cult faction rankings a Cult player is going to come across some demoralizing results. In the majority of faction rankings, win percentages, or any other stat that measures how successful a faction is in Warhammer 40k the Cult are usually ranked dead last. There are a variety of reasons…
Do the Biker Gangs of the GSC Have a Place in the 41st Millennium?
As a (self proclaimed) competitive 40k player one skill that I always need to keep fresh is the ability to open a codex and find the data sheets inside that provide instant value when added to an army list. This can be in the form of an aggressively pointed unit, a unit in the codex…
