Inside the book, you'll find: – The history of the Genestealer Cults, with a look at how these warriors use stealth and subterfuge to topple planets from within – A Genestealer Cults bestiary with background details for every unit and character – A showcase of stunningly painted Citadel miniatures – Rules for every Genestealer Cults model – Stratagems and sub-faction rules for customising your army – And more!
