My First Genestealer List

[JimmyJ]

Evening Guys
I'm putting together a list for a game at the end of the month.
I don't know if its a pick-up or a campaign game and am avoiding asking as the organiser probably thinks I'm bringing Goliaths or Escher and I'm springing a toothy surprise when The Court of the Yellow King pounce from the shadows.
So far I have:


Ogretmen Ogrenci
Cult Adept
Wargear: Bonesword, Needle Pistol,
Skills: Hypnosis

Kargasa
Hybrid Acolyte
Wargear: Hand Flamer, Hazard Suit, Blasting Charges,
Skills: Infiltrate

Sessiz
Hybrid Acolyte
Wargear: Hand Flamer, Hazard Suit, Blasting Charges,
Skills: Infiltrate

Cinayet
Neophyte Hybrid
Wargear: Autogun, Hazard Suit,

Yalan
Neophyte Hybrid
Wargear: Autogun, Hazard Suit,

Hirsiz
Neophyte Hybrid
Wargear: Lasgun, Hazard Suit,

Kabus
Neophyte Hybrid
Wargear: Lasgun, Hazard Suit,

with 230 credits left over.
With this for me its either a neophyte with extra arm and mining laser or beefing the gang out with another two or three bodies with basic weapons and a grenade launcher. Opinions? or any other suggestions?

Cheers chaps.

I’d try and get more bodies personally - that way you can run some of them to compensate for their comparative slowness, but still have some guys able to shoot, and be able to absorb more losses. For the Acolytes I’d probably go with either a handflamer or blasting charges instead of both on the same (quite squishy) model. Blasting charges + autopistol + fighting knife is only 10pts more than a single hand flamer and grants +1 AP -1 attack in close combat, plus the longer range of the autopistol.

Two words: Grenade launchers.

 

[Jeff Smith]

Has to be Grenade launcher !!!

Grenade launchers are pure filth, load em up.
