If you are even slightly plugged in to competitive 40k it is obvious that the game has gone off the rails in the last few months. I have yet to play into the new Harlequin madness, but I have played my GSC into Tau, Custodes and pure Craftworlds indirect fire. All of these games left…

First AOS Tournament
Last weekend my local store held it’s first AoS tournament. A friend from my gaming group had been working extremely hard to get the AoS scene off the ground, and he was going to be the TO for the event. When he sent me the information about the event my initial thoughts were, “why in…
GSC Hivecult Meta
Another week of 40k is in the books, and it looks like Tau and Custodes are continuing their domination of the tournament scene. The game is not in the greatest place right now as far as the competitive side of 40k, but there is at least hope with a new balance patch coming.
The Bladed Cog Defense?
If you have read any of my Genestealer Cults articles you know that I am big on the Pauper Princes and their Relic that gives Core units a 5+ Invulnerable Save. Making my squishy almost-bugs survive any enemy attacks 33% of the time seemed pretty good to me, and I have been having a great…
Join The Poor Princes of 40k
Ever since the new GSC Codex was released I have been having a blast putting my Cult on the table. If it was in a 47 person RTT or just in some practice games with buddies from my ITC team I find myself having a blast win or lose. Even through the rough time competitive…
The Results of GSC at an RTT
My first event of 2022 is in the books. 40K is back in full swing, the Genestealer Cults have a new Codex and the meta is more balanced than it has been in weeks. Prior to this ITC season I knew I wanted to get back to my favorite army in the GSC, and it…
Taking The New GSC To An RTT
The weekend has almost arrived where I can take the new Genestealer Cults Codex out to my first tournament for the 2022 ITC season. Last year I struggled through playing my Necrons until my very last event of the year where I decided “screw it, I’m going back to GSC, and I don’t care if…
Corner Case GSC Stratagems
The Genestealer Cults Codex is filled with complex rules interactions, in depth datasheets and a unique Custom Cults building mechanic. It took me a full week to understand things like Crossfire and Exposed, and I am still figuring out their uses for things like the Ambush Secondary. With all of the amazing rules packed into…
Humble Neophytes
After playing a few more games with the extremely simple to understand, and pilot, Genestealer Cults book I am ready to bestow more of my Cult wisdom. Just kidding, this book is super complex, and I am still getting the hang of how best to mold my favorite army into a decent fighting force on…
The Primus Is The New Patriarch
The new Genestealer Cults book is complex. There are blips, Ambush, Underground and Crossfire all to wrap your head around. These are just the basic rules of the faction! Once a GSC player has a firm grasp on these game mechanics they can start to check out the datasheets for the units in the Codex…
