The Day of Reckoning is at hand – The Genestealer Cult is here! Come see the first wave of products coming this weekend.

Looks like someone got a hold of a few items a little earlier than the rest of us!

Wow! First off, I LOVE the cover! It looks fantastic. Now lets break down these boxes a bit:

Acolyte Hybrids Box:

  • Well at least we now have those Tyranid Weapons confirmed and also the big “Buzz Saw” thing.
  • These are very clearly NOT the same models from the Deathwatch: Overkill game.
  • That one guy in the back has BUNDLES OF DYNAMITE!

Neophyte Hybrids Box:

  • These are the later Generation Cultists for sure.
  • Cool Icon/Standard Bearer.
  • The Mining Laser is back and appears to have a Bi-Pod to support it.
  • Lots of Shotguns and Autoguns, reminds me of Chaos Cultists. (Side note: OHHH we gotta have a Cultist throw down now!)
  • I see the Heavy Stubber for another heavy weapon option.
  • The “leader” model has a Mining Pick and a strange gun…hey, so does that other guy on the right side…

So that could totally be a flamer but the “canisters” look off as well as the nozzle. You know what that reminds me of:

A Web Pistol! I haven’t seen of of those in ages. Eh, it’s probably just a hand flamer though, right? I mean, it’s not like Games Workshop went all the way back into the annals of their gaming history to pull a new release out from “Nostalgia Town”… Oh wait.

 

So who’s excited for the Genestealer Cult!? Raise all 3 hands if you’re with me! Yes, even the Rending Claw hand, it’s okay Timmy.
