Overview

Genestealer contains 15 completely new finely-sculpted plastic Citadel Miniatures. There are 5 Marine Librarians in psychically-attuned Terminator Aegis suits armed with force axes and Nemesis force halberds, 10 Genestealers Hybrids with separate arms and weapons, including auto-cannon, conversion beamer and missile launcher.

Genestealer introduces psychic combat to the Space Hulk system. Terminator Librarians and Grey Knights battle against psychic Genestealer Hybrids. The 44 psychic combat cards give psykers devastating powers: they can strike their enemies with arcing bolts of lightning, summon awesome vortices of raw warp energy, teleport through the hulk and release roaring blast of hellfire, freeze and accelerate time, control enemy models or jinx their weapons.

As well as rules for all the new weapons, there are 16 new Blips allowing you to include the Genestealer Hybrids and group of up to 6 purestrain Genestealers.

The new floor plan include 8 new wide corridor sections and 3 new geotiles to expand the Mission Generator from Deathwing.
