I don't like nids much, and damn all the heretics that dare act
against the Emperor, but some non-space marine human(ish) models
are always a plus.
We don't have much to go on right now, apart from the codex
cover art and images for two of the model kits:

This heresy is the grim reality that The Great Devourer is a
larger threat than we'd like to think.

Check out these vehicles.
I like the look of that drill on the front of the right one.

Now we can take a look inside:

There are a couple of Imperial vehicles there that catch my eye,
and what appear to be some appropriately named formations from
page 86 onward.

Greetings once more.

We have more shots of what's inside. I think these rules could
give any Tau gunline a run for their money.

We've got ourselves a look at some examples of unique wargear,
psychic powers and relics (in that order)

[/spoiler]
This 104-page, full-colour hardback Codex features:
– Lore on the Genestealer Cults, following unsettling story of
their rise from a single organism to an omnipotent, civilisation
devouring hive
– rules for Genestealer Cults miniatures, the scavenged weapons
they use to perform their insurrection and army lists allowing
for cultists drawn from the Imperial Guard
– formations that make use of both the Genestealer Cults and
Astra Militarum model ranges, with notes on the wargear that
Genestealer Cults use to do battle in the 41st Millennium
– 6 codex specific Tactical Objectives and the complete
'Broodmind' Discipline: new Tyranid themed psychic powers used
by Magi and Patriarchs
– the Cult Ambush rule: dependent on a dice roll, Genestealer
Cults units can benefit from a range of abilities such as
deploying straight on the enemy's doorstep, extra dakke, or
being able to charge the enemy immediately after popping out of
the floor and into their face
– a showcase of painted Cult miniatures, presenting the various
colour schemes of popular Cults across the Imperium

Presumably. If not now, it will by the time the entire model
range is released in a couple of weeks time.

We also get to see the new HQ models:
[spoiler]
All tremble, before the psychic might of the Broodcoven.
HTML https://s15.postimg.org/83yve6hkr/Broodcoven.jpg
Which contains (left to right) a Magus, a Primus and that big
bastard is called a Patriarch. Nested between them are a pair of
surprisingly adorable Genestealer Familiars with which to
channel the psychic energies of their leaders.
[/spoiler]
Oh yeah, there's also a guy with a flag.
[spoiler]
HTML https://s11.postimg.org/bl1982igj/Flag_chap.jpg
He's called an Acolyte Iconward.
[/spoiler]
If looting Imperial Guard vehicles isn't your thing, why not
loot the soldiers themselves?
[spoiler]
HTML https://s22.postimg.org/82a6pg3wx/Hybrid.jpg
This is a Neophyte Hybrid Squad and contains a squad of Astra
Militarum Cadian Shock Troopers, as well as a Genestealer Cults
upgrade sprue which has all the fancy heads, knives and symbols
that you can see in the image.
