Hi everyone, Michael here to talk you through the GSC list I took to the International Team Tournament in the UK. For more reviews and analysis, check out the Tactics Corner.

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…
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…
The Worst Thing in the New GSC Book
The day is finally here. The day of the Genestealer Cults ascension! After one (obviously planned) delay this new Codex is in my hot little hands, and I am extremely happy with my initial impression of the new GSC. That’s as far as I will go into my overall thoughts on the Codex, along with…
Crossfire: Thematic or Powerful?
With the new Genestealer Cults Codex going on Pre-Order this weekend I cannot wait for the previews that some content creators will be posting up on Saturday morning. It feels like the GSC have not gotten a lot of love from GW in the form of Warhammer Community articles on the lead up to this…
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…
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…
A Quick Fix for Under-performing Factions
A few days ago, abusepuppy wrote an article discussing the T’au Empire’s problem with taking and holding objectives. If you’ve not read it, I’d highly recommend giving it a look. In the article, abusepuppy suggests that Games Workshop should update the game more frequently in order to best deal with the problem of under-powered factions….
