Fnord:

Greetings everyone.
I have created the stats for the basic members of the genestealer cults (no magus & patriarch at the time, and no deamon infested stealers). I would like your opinion thought. Are they too powerfull (compaired to the fluff)? Not powerfull enought? Is anything missing? Thanks in advance for your help.
Oh, and for you who are not familiar with the genestealer cult: The warhammer 40 000 compilation (1st edition) has a lot of information about them. I'm not sure if it would be legal for me to sum up the fluff and post it here... And now for the stats:

On Dark Reign there is a fanplement written by me on the Genestealer Cults, you might want to check it out, it also offers a heap of additional information.

I never gave any of the other generations an hypnotic gaze because it seemed unfitting...
