Special Rules
Independent Character: Unless accompanied by a bodyguard the Genestealer Patriarch is an Independent Character and follows the independent character special rules in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Psychic Power: Hypnotic Gaze. See Special Rules section above for details.
Unwavering Strength of Will: A Patriarch will never Fall Back, no matter the reason. As long as he is alive, any unit he leads will never Fall Back either.
Note: Due to increased bulk and age, the Patriarch cannot use any of the special Cult Genestealer movement & reserve rules. This means that none of the Genestealers in his Bodyguard (see below) can use them either – their total devotion is to his safety.
Genestealer Bodyguard
The Patriarch may be accompanied by a small cadre of his progeny. This unit of Genestealers can be from 3-12 models at 16 points each.
Transport: If a Bodyguard is taken, they & the Patriarch may ride in a Cult Limousine (see below) for +15 points.
