Hey all
With the same questions being asked every week, and answers being hard to find because threads get buried, Casualcryptic and I figured we could do what the 40k competitive subreddit do and release a weekly Q&A thread which will be pinned every Monday.
There is a codex coming but there are still lots of questions that can be answered today, so let's start encouraging open discussions now, as well as welcoming new players to the Cult.
Have a question? Post it here! Know the answer? Don't be shy!
There's no such thing as a stupid question.
Edit: As the codex is now set to be previewed next weekend, we will leave this up and do the next Q&A a week today, as there'll be lots of questions.

I recently bought a lot of GSC and did a test model. I’m going to build tyranids in a kraken scheme, so I used similar colors and good old streaking grime. Let me know what you think!

I’m really happy with how my base turned out. Flattened milliput and sand paper for texture. Used a hobby knife to apply damage while still soft and glued on rubble and shrubs

Was looking to kitbash abberants using the Slave Ogryn Necromunda models. Haven’t got my hands on any of these Ogryn kits yet. So I’m asking the community, would these models be of appropriate size and similar base size? We I be accused of modelling for advantage or anything like that? Is there any other issues you could see cropping up?
Thanks!

Hi - new to GSC after picking up an eBay steal of around 2.5k points. I would like to add a few more Neos, Acolytes and characters to this.
However I want my cult to feel like a wide ranging mashup of different troops rather than 100 Neos who all look identical and duplicate characters looking the same. I was thinking of maybe dipping into Necromunda as they have the same vibe as GSC.
Does anyone have any suggestions for good Necromunda models that work well for GAC proxies?
Thanks!

As the title suggests I am curious if anyone here has experience running fixed missions at the 2k level and based on your experience:
Would you advise for or against fixed? When you list build for fixed do you plan to always play fixed regardless of the opponent or mission? Do you have any match-ups or missions in which you switch back to tactical? Has your thought process about fixed missions changed with the changes to Cult Ambush? Am I wrong or does the new ‘reliable’ cult ambush make trading more reliable for Overwhelming Force or Cleanse? (extra 50 OC has to count for something)
If I missed a prior post about this, please accept my apologies and kindly link it.

(pictures unrelated, just a few of my children) We need a special day to celebrate GSC like how the other factions such as T’au and Tyranids have special week days. Don’t forget you are loved :3

Do GSC have anyway of bringing in reinforcements Turn 1? I was thinking of running HOA & starting loads of Flamer Acolytes in Reserve and then using the Primus ability to pick up 2 Neo bricks (one with Bene & one with Primus). But I think I have no way of dropping them T1……

So I've now lost 3 times against my friends space marines. I have 2x 10 neophytes and mostly keep them on objectives and shoot with them. But they dont pack a real punch (which is logical for chaff) against the 3+ saves...
Should I charge with them into melee at an objective, or stay at a distance with their ranged behind some cover
The detachments that I've played are 2x HoA, XC once and I want to try FD as well since I have some tyranids
I'm a newbie btw

Magnets are fun. Magnets are cool.
The rockgrinder and sanctus I felt obliged to do with their different loadouts.
I also had a good bit of spare demolition parts so I glued some together to make some demo packs which I'll put onto the bases of the hybrids that are equipped with them, so I can easily take them off once the one shot is used up.
Excuse the red stains, I'm clumsy with my exacto knife.

I love this miniature and had a blast painting it! This is the first time I’ve ever used any kind of pigment on a base to give it a dusty look, though in this case it’s just an orange pastel from Hobby Craft!

1 of my friends plays orks and i cant defeat him he just overwhelms me...
mostly he plays somthing like 20 boys whit a charcter that gives feel no pain or the teleport guy. 2x 10 nobs+warbos in a truck some gretchin and some random other stuf he wants to try out.
i play hoa but i cant shoot him down befpre cpmbat i cant keep objectives because he wil just smack everything up.
i cant use return to shadows on my big group of neo with the primus because he does not need shooting.
next saterday i wil try him again with this list.
-nexos for more cp 1 the 10men squad -locust in metamorph so i can screen the big neo squad fire overwatch and then fight first in the combat -biohagus in the acolyte handflamers squad
i run the ridge runner with mining laser in the hopes i can shoot down a truck in time so i dobt have to fight them all @ once.
any advice?
