“Faith. Flesh. Uprising.”

In this video, we’re diving deep into the shadows of the Hive and building a lore-accurate Genestealer Cults army inspired by the Black Library novel Ascension Day by Andy Clark.

Whether you’re a lore lover or a tabletop tactician, this guide will walk you through:

• 00:19 📚 A spoiler-lite review of Ascension Day

• 04:02 🪖 A thematic army list based on the book’s cult uprising

• 10:09 💵 Estimated cost to build the army (with kit tips!)

• 15:11 🎨 Painting ideas to reflect that gritty, industrial cult aesthetic

• 21:34 ⚔️ Tactics to play the cult like they were written: ambush, overwhelm, vanish
