So it isn't a limo but it is in keeping with the theme of the Genestealers as miners gone amok.

It looks like a pretty cool stolen/converted truck and I'm sure the Post apocalypse people will be able to use it for all kinds of stuff.

Whatever else the kit may be it is like a post-apocalypse bits bonanza.

This is one of the most exciting things, for me, to come out for 40K in a long time. Need to pick up Overkill, and probably one of each of this army.

The trucks are great.

Ork and Squat collectors will be revelling in the possibilities :)

The rest is also great (and the basic troops would make great imperial guard with different heads).

This is a good thing.

If only they'd sort out the rules. Get rid of ugo igo.

Indeed. Depending on price these may find their prominent place leading my buggies and trucks into assault.

Alas, knowing GWs policy – they may as well not.

They look good, that drill tough can't drill through anything since the heads are too separated isntead of together like in real drills:

See? no space left, only drill at the head, those designers are no engineers ;)

I don't think those are drills, nor are intended to represent such.

It is possible that the vehicle's drills have been refitted to be more spread out. This would make them more useful at dispersing enemy in a ramming attack.

Easily done, I stopped using their rules years ago. :)

I do not do 40k but why do you have to use GW rules to play it? If you dislike the rules I see no reason you can't keep all the fluff and other things with a set of rules you like.

Alot of people dont have a space to play or maybe dont have friends that play or just like a variety of opponents. You can walk into just about any store that carries GW and find an opponent. Its hard to do that with most other game systems.

Don't play 40K but I do like that truck.

And Genestealer Cults.

Now if they streamlined the ][nquisiter rules, and released plastic Inquisition teams, I'd succumb.

Pictors Studio25 Sep 2016 2:14 p.m. PST

Why don't you use the Infinity rules? They are free. They work really well with small unit actions. It is a little bit more complex than 40K but far less so than Inquisitor.

They are what I use when building up forces or when I want to play small games of 40K.

Ivan DBA26 Sep 2016 5:36 a.m. PST

Beyond the Gates of Antares could be easily adapted for 40k, and can handle similar figure counts.

Note the Genestealer claws peaking out from the hatch…that's a nod to some classic art, that showed a purestrain's claws protruding from a limo.

For a reaally nice Genestealer cult limo, Wargames Exclusive make a proper smart one
