Genestealer Cult Special Rules

Genestealer CultsOnce the Tyranid geneseed has begun to take root in a planetary population, those who are infected are

seize the world for the Hive fleet to harvest…

Options

Scylberdis may pick from the Assault, Basic, Special, and Grenades lists.



Genestealer Cult Psychic PowersAdeptus Powers

AssailForce 1, Range 24”

Targets any single model within range. You may move the target up to 6” in any direction (including

onto blast markers, or into dangerous terrain) and choose its facing. You can even move models into

Hand to Hand combat; models moved in this way do NOT count as charging. This attack will knock models out of Overwatch, or a cause Move or Fire weapon to loose its next Shooting Phase. Assail will

not move a vehicle around, but it will cause a moving vehicle to go out of control in its next movement

phase on a D6 roll of 4+.

Carmine Assassin, TheForce 1, Range 18”

Pick a single model within range; the victim must roll under its Toughness on D6 or it is slain. No armor

save is permitted. It may be used to attack a single crewman without rolling for armor penetration, but if the vehicle is enclosed the victim may roll 2D6 and pick the lowest value when attempting to roll under

his Toughness.

DisplacementForce 2, Range 3D6”

User may teleport a friendly squad or single model from a position anywhere on the battlefield. Troops

are moved up to 3D6” in any direction, ignoring obstacles and intervening terrain as they are moved.

Troops may be moved onto a roof, rocky pinnacle or other elevation, and may be used to move troops

into Hand to Hand combat, in which case they fight in the next combat round and count as Charging in

that round. Note that any model which falls from a precarious position is assumed to have actually fallen,

and will suffer one wound on a 4+, with a normal saves allowed. This power does not work on vehiclesor enemy models of any kind.

Gate, TheForce 1, Range 18”

Place two markers on the board, each of which must be within 18” of the psyker. LOS is not required

when placing the Gate, but it cannot be placed into a vehicle which is capable of movement. Any models

(friend or foe) which move into one marker from any direction reappear instantly out of the other,

expending no movement while moving through the Gate; they may charge or make run moves as normal

through it. Only normal foot troops (of either side) may move through the Gate; if there is any question

as to who may use it, the model in question must be able to fit into the area of the template. The Gate

blocks LOS, and cannot be used to shoot (or use psychic powers) through. It remains until nullified or theuser is slain, and must be cast as a new power if the psyker wishes to move it.

HellfireForce 2, Range 24”

Place the special Hellfire template (2” blast template) anywhere within range of the user. Each modeltouched by the template suffers an S4 hit, and normal armor saves apply. The template blocks Line of

Sight and any model touching it will suffer an S4 hit while it remains on the board. Remains until

nullified or the power is used again.

Lightning ArcForce 3, Range 24”

Strikes the first model in a straight line within range. The target sustains an S6 hit causing D3 wounds.

If the first target is killed by the Arc, the psyker may cause it to hit another model within 6” of the first,

inflicting damage as before, and so on, and causing up to 6 hits in succession. If the Arc penetrates a

vehicle’s armor, the psyker can cause it to strike another model within 6”or a different location on the

same vehicle for up to 6 hits, as described above.



Machine CurseForce 2, Range 24”

Place the Machine Curse template (2” blast template) anywhere within range of the user. Any model

touched by the template will be affected. All ranged weapons affected will be unable to fire (including

pistols used in close combat) and robots, Terminators, Dreadnoughts or vehicles will be unable to move

or to fight in Close Combat until the curse is nullified (vehicles stop moving entirely if effected)-. If an

object is taken out of the area, it will start working again. Troops may fire into or through the area

without penalty, and the power does not effect systems that are not specifically listed on the card.Remains until nullified or the user is slain.

ScanForce 1, Range 36”

All hidden enemy models within range are detected automatically (the user will communicate their

position to friendly troops). If any enemy psykers are within range, you can examine his opponent’s

hand of Warp Cards; you may also look at one randomly-chosen psychic power card of each enemy

psyker in range.

Rogue Psyker PowersBrain Flayer

Force 1-2, Range 18”

Select one target within range. Both the Rogue Psyker and the target roll D6+Ld. If the target loses, hetakes one wound for each point of difference in the respective scores. Only Invulnerable saves are

permitted, and must be rolled for each wound taken. For 2 Force Points, the Rogue Psyker may attack a

vehicle crewman with this power, as described above.

Soul ShriveForce 1-3, Range 18”

Select one enemy unit within range, using the standard Targeting rules. For each Force Point expended

by the Rogue Psyker, roll D6 to determine the number of hits to be distributed randomly through the

targeted unit. Each hit wounds the model on a 4+. The model may then make its normal saves, with no

modifier. However, if the model rolls a 1 when making the save, then it is consumed utterly, regardless

of the number of wounds it may have or Wargear that may otherwise save it.

If this power is Nullified, the Psyker has lost control and will instead use the power on the closestfriendly unit! Again, use the standard targeting rules to determine which unit is hit. Note that the samenumber of D6 will be rolled to determine the number of wounds to the new target!

Puppet DanceForce 4, Range 12”

Select one enemy unit within range; LOS is required for this power to be used, as well. The selected unit

must immediately close to Base to Base contact with its own members and fight one round of HtH

combat. The controlled unit is not considered to be Charging, but all other benefits (i.e. multiple

weapons, Frenzy, etc.) do apply.

If the unit is already engaged in HtH then the enemy models do not get parting shots against the effected

unit. The units are still considered to be in HtH, and must consolidate normally in the Movement Phase

of the following turn.

This power does not affect independent enemy characters, and those suffering the Puppet Dance may not

be made to attack such characters.



Tyranid PowersCatalyst

Force 3, Range 18”

Target a single brood within range of the user. The brood becomes Frenzied as long as Catalyst is in

play: Frenzied troops automatically charge the nearest enemy unit during the Compulsory Movement

Phase and fight with double their Attack Dice in HtH (note that this is their A x 2, and does not include

bonuses for Close Combat weapons). Frenzied troops may not parry, and must always use their 2”follow-up move to get closer to or engage the enemy. While under the Catalyst, the Brood is unaffected

by other Psychology. In addition, the brood makes its armor saving throws on 2D6. Remains until

nullified or the brood is destroyed.

Hypnotic GazeForce 1, Range 18”

Use on a brood of Tyranid Warriors, Genestealers or Genestealer Hybrids within 18” of the user. Roll a

Leadership Test for every enemy model which is within 6” with LOS to one of the brood. Any models

that fail are paralyzed and can’t perform any actions as long as this power remains in play; place them on

their side to indicate the model’s status. Psykers who fail their saves may only use their powers; they can

perform no other actions. Paralyzed models are hit automatically in Hand to Hand combat. Any affectedmodels that end up more than 6” away from the brood recover automatically at the start of the next turn.

Psychic ScreamForce 2, Range 36”

Every enemy psyker within 36” of the user (Hive Tyrant, Genestealer Patriarch, or Magus) must roll2D6; if the score is greater than the roller’s Toughness but under his Leadership, he is stunned by the

scream and incapable of using any Warp Cards or taking any actions until the start of the next psychic

phase. Stunned psykers fight in Hand to Hand combat with a WS of 1. If the roll is greater than the

psyker’s Leadership as well, the model goes insane and takes no further part in the battle—remove the

model as a casualty.

The Horror Force 1-3, Range 6-18”

The effect radius of this power depends on how much Force is used to power it; it has a 6” radius for

each Force card used to power it. All squads and character models within the effect range must take animmediate Break Test. The Horror has no effect on non-living models, Daemons, or vehicles (includingDreadnoughts).

leave the template where it is. Rolls of an Arrow and a Number indicate the gunners were a little off;

12-24 24-72 - - Special Special 2”movement per turn

Move or fire. The mortar has a crew of two, though only one is necessary to fire the weapon. To fire the

Mole Mortar, nominate a target point—this may be any point on the tabletop, but there must be a Line of

Sight between it and at least one of the Mortar’s crewmembers. Next, roll a D6 to test for the accuracy on

this chart:

1 Off Target. Randomly scatter from the target point as normal, and then re-roll on thischart. If you roll another 1, scatter from the scatter point you just established and roll

again. Continue until you’ve rolled something other than a 1.

2 Airburst.

3-4 Surface Burst.

5 Ground Burst.

6 Subterranean Burst.



Once you’ve determined what kind of shot it was, determine the damage characteristics by rolling another D6 and consulting this chart:

Blast Radius Strength Damage Save Mod Penetration

Airburst 3” 3 1 -2 1D6+3

Surface 2” 4 1 -2 2D6+4

Ground 1” 4 1 -2 2D6+5Subterranean D3” 3 1 -2 3D6+6

A ground or subterranean burst leaves a permanent crater equivalent in size to the blast area of the shot.

Parts of a building lying over a crater will collapse. Any vehicle which lies 50% or more within the crater

area is brought to an immediate halt, and must roll a 5+ on D6 at the start of its Movement Phasemovement

phase before it can move Tracked(tracked vehicles move on a 4+). Any other models within the crater area

are thrown to the ground and may not move in their following Movement Phase other than to get on their

feet—they may shoot as normal.

Mole Mortars effect underground Crawlers use the armor penetration listed, based on the type of

detonation. If the weapon is fired specifically at the crawler, the attacker adds +1 to the accuracy roll. To

determine the location of the detonation, choose a point along the path of the crawler and roll for scatter,

ignoring misfire results.

Thudd Gun



0-12 12-72 - -1 6 1 -2 D6+6 Always Move or Fire

It may be pulled up to 4” by its crew of two. A Thudd Gun may not move through difficult terraindifficult

terrain or over obstaclesobstacles. At Short-Range, attackers may pick whether they want their shots to hitthe crew or the Thudd Gun itself; at Long-Range, randomize incoming shots between the two. The Thudd

Gun has an Armor Value of 10; any shot that penetrates destroys the weapon completely. The Thudd Gun

places four 1” blast markers around its target. Fire the shot as normal, and scatter if you miss. Place the

special 1” Thudd Gun blast marker template at the impact point. Then roll a D12 to determine in what

direction the second template is placed relative to the first; the Thudd Gun templates have a ring of

numbers around their perimeter to indicate which roll indicates which direction. Repeat this process for all

four templates, rolling a D12 for each one.

Speculative Fire

The Thudd Gun may fire at targets to which its crew does not have a Line of Sight, but the process is alittle different than the “normal” shooting rules. To launch a speculative fire shot from a Thudd Gun,

pick a target point and place a marker of some sort on it. The Thudd Gun may not fire or move other

than to rotate this turn; aligning the weapon to aim at the designated point takes the crew the whole rest

of the turn. The Thudd Gun must remain stationary for the rest of this turn, the entirety of the opponent’s

turn, and the Movement Phase of the following turn if the Gun does move during this time, the

speculative fire marker is removed and the process is “cancelled”. In the following shooting phase, the

Thudd Gun may fire at the point that has been marked; the firing process is as normal.



Genestealer Cult Wargear List

The Genestealer Cult player may take Wargear from the Army List normally. Should the player chooseto take any Wargear from the standard list, those items are considered to be one category higher in

Frequency (i.e. Uncommon becomes Rare, Rare becomes Unique, etc.).

Brood Telepathy Uncommon+5 points

The range of the leadership bonus for the character is doubled.

Living Weapons Rare+5 points

This biological modification turns a single Brood Brothers squad into a team of living bombs under thecharacter’s control. When the squad gets into HtH combat with the enemy, the character can choose to

‘detonate’ them, converting their biomass into a tangle of vile mechanorganic webbing. Place a 1” blast

marker over each model in the Brood. Roll a D6 for each enemy model and vehicle that is touched by

the template; on a roll of 4+, the model is pulled into the biomass. Caught models must each roll 2D6; if

the roll beats the model’s Strength (or Ram Value for vehicles), it is either torn to pieces or so entrapped

that it is effectively slain.

If the unit gets outside of the 12” leadership bonus range of any character, then it suffers from Stupidityunlit the link to the Brood is restored.

Ovipositor Common

+25 points (Genestealers and the Patriarch only)

Any model defeated in Hand to Hand combat by a Genestealer Cultist model is not slain, but rendered

unconscious, and implanted with the Geneseed of the Cult. At the end of the fight, any victory points

gained for the enemy units defeated by the models with the Ovipositor are doubled.

Third Arm Uncommon

+5 points (not available to the Patriarch)

The character has a vestigial third arm (like that of a second or third generation Hybrid). This adds +2 to

the model’s Str in HtH combat.

Transfixing Gaze Uncommon+25 points

Any enemy model within 6” of the character must make an Ld save it cannot physically act on the

following turn; if attacked in HtH combat, the transfixed model will be automatically hit. Models with

psyker powers may use them normally.

If the player chooses, the model with the Transfixing Gaze can use it in lieu of a Shooting attack against

a single enemy model within 18” and in LOS; that model must make an Ld check at -2, or can do nothing

in the following turn.

Unnatural Reflexes Rare+10 points

The character possesses almost supernatural reflexes, providing an Unmodified Save of 5+.
