Beyond the human galaxy, beyond the range of human spacecraft and astrotelepathy, lies the unspeakable cold of the intergalactic void. Few men have ventured into this realm and none have ever returned. It is the great barrier that divides galaxy from galaxy, a place where time and space conspire to hold the galaxies apart with inconceivable distances.
Yet the void is no longer empty. An immeasurably ancient and implacable intelligence moves through the cold and the darkness, its many eyes fixed on the distant glittering lights of our galaxy. The Great Devourer moves between the stars and hungers for the flesh of all who lie before it. This great organism, this monstrous entity, men know as the Tyranid race.
Even by naming the Great Devourer men betray their ignorance. Every thought and action, every spark of life in the Tyranid race is bound and interlinked into a single mind, into a single great entity which stretches over light years of space and is controlled by the immortal hive mind. A billion times a billion Tyranids stand at the rim of the galaxy yet each one is no more than a single cell in the living body of the hive mind, the devourer of worlds.
Allies
The points allocated for Support are used to buy allied troops, weapons and vehicles. The Tyranids themselves cannot be expected to help the Cult, in fact their arrival will signify the end of the Genestealer Cult as it is reabsorbed into the hive fleet. The only allies who will join with a Genestealer Cult are the forces of Chaos, who are all too willing to help others spread anarchy so that Chaos will ultimately triumph. The alliance of Genestealers and Chaos is at best fragile and will fly apart the instant that victory is in sight.
ALLIES
A Genestealer Cult may be accompanied by allied troops chosen from the Warhammer 40,000 Chaos army list.
