With a chilling focus enabling them to identify ideal firing positions at a glance, this frontier assassin leads their brood in a coiling evasion from their enemies that suddenly changes into a lunging strike back.

Cartographic Data-leech

10 pts

This parasitic, cybernetic implant allows its host to tap into the survey augurs and proximity detectors of the cult’s industrial transports. They use this leeched data to guide their comrades’ fire from vision slits and hatches, even at high speed.

Starfall Shells

10 pts

When they hit, these hand-crafted sniper bullets radiate with a supernatural aura redolent of the void’s numbing chill. Muscles seize, fingers cramp and thought slows as the sinister saturation takes effect.

GENESTEALER CULTS MOUNTED* model only. In your Shooting phase, after the bearer has shot, select one enemy unit hit by one or more of those attacks made with a cult sniper rifle. Until the start of your next Shooting phase, each time a model in that enemy unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.

Assault Commando

15 pts

An expert in rapid attacks from speeding vehicles, this veteran has drilled their insurrectionist cell, readying them to leap into the fray with stolen weapons blazing.

GENESTEALER CULTS* model only. Each time a model in the bearer’s unit makes a ranged attack, if it disembarked from a TRANSPORT this turn, you can re‐roll the Hit roll.
