But inquisitor, all xeno filth look the same in the eyes of the emperor, and shall be purged as such

[kishinasura]

It is said that if you say "GENESTEALER" three times in front of a mirror, a drunken female inquisitor appears and kills them

[diamondmetal]

Ah yes, the Tau using the best way to stop horrid alien infiltrators: *excessive bureaucracy!*

[frizzank]

"They are normally beaten to death in a timely manner."
This is why I love 40k.

[tarrisfairbroke]

I can picture a Genestealer just arriving on a Necron tomb world thinking that it had found a human forge world or something and as soon as it sees the Necron crypts it thinks something along the lines of, 'Uhh… ooh...'.

[TheSonOfDumb]

"This infestation ran so deep that even the craftworld's Avatar of Khaine became a monstrous creature known as 'the Patriarch of Khaine.'"

it WHAT

[smug]

"male eldar would mate multiple times with the female to provide additional genetic material for their offsprings"

no wonder they're slaanesh's favourite snack

[internetzenmaster]

"Override the effects of the WAAAGH!!!"

[Ork] *_"Oi! Datz... Datz... wotz da word... oh yeah, 'EARSEY!!"_* [/Ork]

Considering how chaotic and unorganized their human members of the genestealer cult were reacting, it sounds like the brood mind was being dominated by the Orkiness of the WAAAGH!!! field more than anything else.

[Erebdai]

As an Ork player I believe in the power of conversion. A couple of intelligent 4 armed orks waiving more choppas might be interesting. Tyranid models are very unique.
On the other hand I think lore wise this wouldn't happen. Ork would curb stomp any 4 armed ork.
But a grot army infected by gene stealers could be interesting

[Ranmus]

I was not aware that anyone knew that level of intimacy of Eldar biology...

I am not sure I should know about this, certain people think that knowing this is cause for a field trip on an Inquisitor's ship...

[XtreemAlan]

Genestealer: hey would you like to hea- *SPLAT*

Ork: what a weird ‘umie

[UncleMikeDrop]

I think Jokaero Genestealer Cults would be particularly dangerous due to their innate technological prowess. A Pariah Genstealer Cult would also be incredibly dangerous as it would likely develop a psychic null field that far exceeds that if the Shadow in the Warp.

[captainanopheles]

The beginning section makes you wonder if Slaanesh is involved somehow.

[Accentaur]

Just imagine what a Tau genestealer cult would be like.

[omganotherun]

3:50 Gotta wonder how one hides a genestealer cult amidst a race of psychics.

[Le-cptr]

> No Necrons

Makes sense, but I'm still disappointed for some reason

[jakupsundoe]

I don’t remember where, but didn’t one of the early editions say that ork genestealers actually fight against Tyranids?

[Ranmus]

Whenever I hear, see or read about these cases, I sit down, put my feet on top of a looted/borrowed footstool from my local Inquisition chapter, eat my Space Popcorn and wait for the fireworks of the local Exterminatus fleet do their thing.

[rominapliz]

What if the entire tyranid species were in fact a bunch of other xenos species infected by
genestealers?

[gagaplex]

Through intermingling, the hybrids become more and more indistinguishable from the host species, fine. But what I never got was how the next generation suddenly leads back to pure-strains.
