Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!
Now known as the Unit Review Library!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!
In this series, I will review one unit at a time, picking them randomly.
So let me spin the wheel again and see what I get:
Genestealer Cults, Hybrid Metamorphs
10th Edition Index
Back the the nefarious Genestealer Cults. Here are some more Cult members who CANNOT blend in and are probably kept in the basement... but when the Ascension Day happens, these are quite useful!
80pts for 5 models, 160pts for 10.
£27.50 for a box of 5! Or 108.99 HIVE.
Let's check those stats!
Stats
Movement 6"
Toughness 4
Save 5+(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 1
Ld 7+
OC 1
Weapons
The whole squad have Autopistols but they can all be exchanged for Hand Flamers.
The Leader has a decent close combat weapon and the rest of the unit have a melee weapon that has two striking profiles.
Ranged:
Autopistol - 12" Range, 1 Shot, Hitting on 4+, S3 AP0 D1
Pistol
Hand Flamer - 12" Range, D6 Shots, Torrent, S3 AP0 D1
Torrent, Pistol, Ignores Cover
(Hand flamers are a clear winner!!!)
Melee:
Leader’s cult weapons
5 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S5, AP-1 and 2 Damage.
Metamorph mutations — strike
3 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S5, AP-1 and 2 Damage.
Metamorph mutations — sweep
5 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S4, AP-1 and 1 Damage.
Abilities
Deep Strike, Scout 6"
Savage Amalgam
When a model dies in melee, roll a 3+ and that model gets to strike before being removed from play.
Wargear Abilities
Cult Icon
You can replace D3 destroyed models at the start of your turn OR flat 3 models if this unit stands on an objective marker.
Thoughts
The ability to bring units back is great. Their damage lies in melee. All hand flamers seem like a no-brainer and could then do good Overwatch shooting if they were being charged.
So this seems like a great unit to take objectives and then keep them and be a nuisance.
Thank you for reading!
