As I continue to look at getting my various half-baked 40K projects into usable states, I turn my attention to the forces of the Genestealer Cults. This was an army I was excited for, but when my interest in Warhammer 40,000 waned, so did my will to complete this project. I painted a lot of character minis, though:
I’m looking to plan a force that is fun to play, but which isn’t too hordey, at the moment. Being able to get something onto the battlefield is the priority for now, and I can expand on my options later.
