Special

Genestealer Cultists Primus: This fighter is a Genestealer Cultists Primus; any game effect referring to Genestealer Cultists or Leaders is applicable to them. This fighter may be equipped from the Genestealer Cultists Primus Equipment List, and uses the Deathworlder Characteristic Maxima.

Cult Leader: While this fighter is Standing, all other fighters in their gang within 9'' may use this fighter's Cool and Willpower characteristics instead of their own when making any checks.

Broodmind: Group Activation (3): only Genestealer Cultist fighters within 6'' of this fighter.

Primus Skills

When a Primus would choose a Primary Skill, they may instead choose one of the following Primus Skills.

Fearsome: If an enemy attempts to Engage this fighter, they must make a Willpower check. If the check is failed they stop 1'' away from this fighter, cannot Engage, and their action ends immediately.

Lightning Reflexes: If this fighter is engaged by an enemy fighter while Standing and Readied, this fighter may choose to lose their Ready marker to interrupt that enemy fighter's action. If they do, this fighter immediately makes close combat attacks against the interrupted enemy as if this fighter had successfully made a Charge action against that enemy. Afterwards, if the enemy fighter remains Engaged with this fighter they may make Reaction attacks versus this fighter (instead of any attacks they otherwise would have made).

Point Blank: This fighter may use a Basic or Special weapon in close combat as if it has the trait. This skill cannot be used with a weapon profile that has the Blast, Template, or Unwieldy traits.

Resilient: When this fighter suffers a Lasting Injury, a Grievous Injury result is treated as an Out Cold result, and a Permanent Injury result is treated as a Grievous Injury result.

Sentinel: This fighter has a 360° vision arc, gains a +1 bonus to Detect enemy fighters, and has a special 4+ unmodified save against all attacks made by Hidden opponents. Additionally, when an opposing player would choose this fighter's facing, the controlling player determines this fighter's facing instead.

Shadow: This fighter may be set up onto the battlefield Hidden, even if the scenario does not normally permit this. When this fighter is activated if they are at least 6'' away from and outside line of sight from all enemies, they may become Hidden if they are not already. Finally, there is a -1 penalty to Detect this fighter.

Primus Equipment List

When creating a new gang or buying Common equipment during a Post Battle Sequence, a Primus may select from the following Equipment list.

Mutations

Mutations are purchased for fighters who are allowed to have one or more in a similar way to Equipment, but are permanent additions to a fighter and cannot be removed from the fighter by any means.

Genestealer Cultist Mutations may only be purchased for a fighter from their Equipment List when the fighter is first added to a gang's Roster; if the fighter is retired and rehired or becomes part of an Offshoot gang they do not have the option of buying Mutations at that time.
