new Deathwatch game with genestealer cult

[blacknight]

Morning

Haven't seen anything mentioned about it here and don't know how much people follow the rumours sites but there is a new deathwatch based game due for release in the next couple of weeks from GW featuring genestealer cultists as the bad guys.  The box appears to come with a number of the stereo typical genestealer cult characters such as magus, purestrain, different generation hybrids and a patriarch.

Thinking that this combined with the new chaos cultest models provide a potentially huge resource pool for =][= 28 or Inquisimunda players to get a basis for their mobs. 

I know personally I recently got the execution force game so that I can start getting some =][= 28 going, 15 chaos cultests, a couple of generic chaos space marines and a chaos space marine lord in terminator armour (or true scale marine to be slightly less scary) combined with 4 assassins to be used as either the officio assassins or as operative types.  Mine are part painted and ones I get chance to get some shots I will get them up online.

Anyway for information or discussion as needed.

Yes I noticed this! - I for one welcome our new purple-tinged, multi-limbed overlords...

I have never been a fan of =I= 28mm, but I just love the old genestealer cultist models and a lot of these seem like reimaginigs of them, so I may try to graba bunch to make a cult in the future...  I am however looking at these new sculpts to gain inspiration for a 54mm genestealer cultist I am looking to sculpt and cast up to whomever might like one....

A mate of mine is currently sculpting up some Hybrid arms and heads for 54mm scale. His heads are a little 'off' but the arms looking really nice and are almost a carbon copy of the ones they have in the new 28mm versions (which is odd seeing as he knew nothing of this new release). Hopefully I can cast these up soon and distribute them to you fine gentlemen.

I must admit I prefer the 54mm Inquisitor to the 28, however I am moving again soon and will not be in a position to bring my entire 54mm collection with my however, my with my previous 40k armies and items I will have a bit of a 28mm collection I can bring.  Between execution force and deathwatch overkill there is over 50 cultist models to use..

That being said as I have a couple of 54mm scale genestealer cultests already (magos and a mother and child) I would be keen to get some conversion bits for to add to these, as well as a purestrain stealer or two.
