Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Genestealer Cults (section)

====Cons====
*Average shooting ability, with BS4+ across the board and limited shooting buffs. You're not going to be pulling off space marine tricks of +1 to hit, and rerolls. That is, not unless you put in some elbow grease and line up some buffs.  
*Heavy Support, fliers and Fast Attack choices are extremely limited without using other allied factions, and these allied factions don’t get to share your keywords and other buffs.
**Alas, the way this works also mean that you can’t take a titan with your pseudo guardsmen, no recreating the forest battle on Endor for you.
*The entire army is extremely squishy and expensive, 8th edition is a cruel place and time to be a GEQ. 
**Fortunately with the Codex, we have some ways of patching over this.
*This is an army that actually requires skill, and risk-taking to be played effectively. 
**When starting out, you'll probably lose a lot of games while learning the army. But, stick with it and you'll develop tactics skills that will serve you beyond just this army.
*Lots of deep-striking, lots of charging, lots of aura buffs to keep track of, and lots of stratagems to remember means lots of ways for things to go very wrong for you. 
*[[Tyranids|Your gods]] will eat you after all's said and done.
