Put finger to keyboard then my good man! Chuck up an intial idea/sketch up of a list if you would then like feedback on it. Then we can develop it enough to put into the next revision of the Imunda CE 
I just had a look at this thread here: https://yaktribe.games/community/th...nestealer-cult-gangs-updated-01-17-2014.1572/
I reckon it would be good to include a mechanic similar to the one there for being implanted. I was considering Str vs Toughness, but WS could work, or whichever is higher for the ganger.
I am not sure a whole new set of skills is needed for the purestrain.

In an old issue of Citadel journal, when a ganger was implanted with the stealer gene they were 'released' back into their gang with 'implanted' as their stated injury. Before each gang fight, the ganger rolled a d6. On a 1 he/she leaves the gang permanently to start up his own little stealer family. I always liked that rule, annoying if your heavy does a runner but fluff wise it was awesome. If it happened to a Spyrer then surely he strips off his gear to go and fornicate with the proletariat! I'd like to see this rule in the game. Also rather than letting a purestrain implant it's enemies willy nilly on the battlefield, how about implanting only captured enemy models. In that way the gang can mount a rescue mission before the horny old Stealer gets the scented candles and Barry white CD on. After that, the ovipositor is going in like it or not!
That last line reminds me of the Cain short story where the 'stealer cult runs a brothel to infect as many guardsmen as possible.
Also, I take it you've all seen the news of the boardgame going on pre-order this weekend? 'stealer cult vs Deathwatch. On a purely practical note, it might be worth considering the models and units there, because that's no doubt what most of us will be using to create gangs.

Very cool! Are you looking at the new 40k Cult rules at all? They seem very cool and faithful to the fluff.
Yeah, those are what I'm looking at. One problem though is that 2nd/3rd, and 4rd/5th are kinda the same.
I was thinking about the Patriarch and purestrains. One of the problems with previous attempts at 'stealer cults in Necromunda was how to handle giving genestealers experience; either they start out with ordinary 'stealer stats and end up ridiculous, or they start out crap.
I was thinking that they could be treated like some sort of hired gun, and the Patriarch as a special character like the Spyrer Matriarch/Patriarch, that will only turn up if the cult is really outclassed.
