Have listened to a few episodes now and I find them really charming. Genestealer Cults are one of my favourite factions because of their implications, the only way to poison an empire is through insurgency and sabotage, and they do it really well.
Aw man, I didn't even talk about the Mad Max thing, I'll have to try to remember to talk about it in the next genestealer episode. It's my duty as an Australian. Cults are good too.
A broodlord is the upgrade for a genestealer brood unit’s upgraded squad leader, like ‘veteran sergeant’ for space marines, and a patriarch is the genestealer in charge of a genestealer cult in the genestealer cults faction, which did not exist at the time the broodlord was introduced but did exist before and after, so now we’re all confused.
You know what would be neat of you to cover? Warp rifts and shoal zones, ie The Maelstrom, The Eye of Terror, and the various things that occur when warp anomalies pass through areas.
Well, we were doing a lot better before our codex dropped. It really stripped everything away. Probably some of the coolest models GW has made, but they screwed us royally. Hopefully a balance update fixes things 😓
@@CaptainWwowW honestly, we were fine before the slate, and now we are too strong. The problem was, that the codex was difficult to figure out like it always is with us. We have 4 really good and fun detatchments. And also there is brood brothers... those are a bit shit
And yes, GSC are really cool, we are "the shadow over innsmouth" a group of cultists that range from slightly more powerful than a normal human to fighting space marines in 1v1, and above.
Oh my god yess we're getting a new skaven episode AND a Gaz episode!? 40k Orks and Skaven are my two favorite things. Edit: I want to hug your dog she's too cute
I totally agree that it is more interesting if some of the cult is, at least to some extent aware. Honestly, I think it is good that the narrative freedom exists within the lore that both can work. The cults can be great antagonists or protagonists for many kinds of stories that have different desires
Since your taking suggestions for 40K would you be in a postion to do one on the Druhkarii? They are far more diverse than they would appear at first glance. If not then I'm all for you going for something on the Farsight Enclaves. :-)
Coming out out of this episode with 3 thoughts, It's funny to be listening to this while painting Skitarii and having Day of Ascension be mentioned. Painting Ryzans with malicious intent. Hearing someone say "cowdoy" is equally hilarious and painful as an American It does really help GSC have more appeal to see them as an intentional/proactive faction than tricked/reactive one.
I think they have amazing models, almost every kit is extremely kitbashable (they mostly come from the golden age of models before monopose). You can choose almost entirely how much body horror you want, the vehicles are really cool. They are one of the hardest factions to paint, but i have never enjoyed a faction so much. Every model is a little different with many different options for weapons and poses. Basically every necromunda kit can be kitbashed into unique cult models.
@@GoodMorningRat-Men the neophyte hybrids are also just a great humanoid kit, the hazard suits, shotguns, pickaxes, knives, amazing bits, lots of head options. It's just a really nice battleline unit, with much potential, as long as you are alright with bald people😂😂

The council is watching your career with great interest
While the Mad Max aesthetic isn't my thing, I'm a sucker for cults. Hence my love for GSC, Ad Mech, and Word Bearers.

Makes sense.
Cool episode!
I'm excited about skaven episode next week.

That's a good idea, I love weird scifi.
big ups to best girl edit dog
Quality podcasts. Liked and subbed The "who's ship is that ship" segment is the best part of the podcast
If you're looking for more good 40k audiobooks, you should definitely check out the Twice Dead King series. It gives so much substance to the necrons
Yeah I've heard really good things, it's in my audible wishlist.
So, it seems like gensteakers are cool. Why didn't I get the memo before? I always thought of them as a meh faction

A pain to paint a 2k army

Put em in the list.
The Acolyte Hybrids make good Skaven bashes, but the range overall is eh
Drill Dozer is that GBA game made by the developers of Pokémon, in case you guys still didn't remember.
I really like the Ciaphas Cain series, definitely would recommend

I think that is their big saving grace is that they are super kitbashable, I definitely have some ideas I would like to do at some point for GSC

Well I am slowly going bald so I better be alright with them.
@@GoodMorningRat-Men looking forward to the day i'll be able to do a GSC cosplay ;)
I'm glad I found your channel! You make really nice videos!
Thanks, we appreciate it.
We all here love the four armed emperor
Me thinking they have the best models and I bought them without knowing any lore
Valid.
