GSC Stratagem Breakdown

Posted on June 24, 2023 by BugProletariat

I have had some time to put my GSC on the table for my first games of 10th Edition, and even with the decrease in the number of Stratagems each army has, GSC haven’t lost any of their flavor from 9th Edition. I was worried when I saw that each faction would only be receiving 6 Stratagems out of the gate in 10th Edition that the armies would lose some of their uniqueness. Thankfully this wasn’t the case. GSC were extremely lucky in these days of Index Hammer, and all of our Stratagems keep the flavor of the faction alive while remaining useful on the tabletop.

The Real Strength of The Genestealer Cults

I haven’t written actual Genestealer Cult content in quite some time, and with a name like BugProletariatI thought it was about time to actually produce some content for my favorite 40k faction. While it isawesome to see so many of my four-armed brethren being so successful at 40k events, I am also a littlesad that…

GSC After The Balance Dataslate

Well GW, you did it. I am impressed. The competitive meta was looking a little rough for a couple of months, but GW did the right thing by coming out with a very comprehensive balance patch roughly a month before it was due. Smarter minds than mine (or time) will be able to tell us…

The GSC Journey at the Battle to End Alzheimer’s

Posted on April 14, 2022April 14, 2022 by BugProletariat

Last weekend my local store, Tables and Towers in Westminster, MD, hosted a 98 person charity event to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. The event was a massive success thanks to the organizer and TO JC, and thanks to Tables and Towers for being an amazing host. They even let people throw pies at other…

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

Posted on February 24, 2022February 23, 2022 by BugProletariat

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…
