I’m trying to resurrect my stealer cult ambitions.
After going through all the possible lists, I have plumped for imp guard + inquisition allies for weirdness.
This is in part due to financial restraints and existing model availability (nice way of saying I'm skint
).
With this in mind, the budget stretches to...
1 box catachan heavy weapons (x3 need all the weapon options).
1 box catachan jungle fighters.
3 tallarn mortars.
5 or 6 tallarn desert raiders.
Tallarn rough riders.*
cyclops x2.*
Broodlord.
8 stealers (need at least 2 in bits for cannibal purposes).
Any unused nid biomorphs/spare arms heads etc especially rending claws.
* Either/or.
If anyone can help out...
First up, I don't even know if this is legal...I don't have daemon hunters.
My first assumption is that an eversor assassin and a daemon hunter inquisitor can be allied to guard as well as witch hunter arco flaggellants and priests can come in from that codex.
Is that legal???

+ associated cronies. About 160 odd points worth.
Fluff, part 1.
The Transgoyarsk salt mine lay high in the dragonsback mountains. A sharp jagged range of charcoal grey peaks that divided the provinces of Novgoro and Oberamadny. It had never been a popular place to earn a living, but now… Well, it all started a few years ago.
Old man Stransky had managed the mine for all his adult life. Ever since his father was killed in a roof fall in area 75. For some reason, best known to The Emperor, area 75 had always had a bad reputation. Equipment failures (the machine sprits seem troubled there) cave ins and unexplained disappearances, no one knew why, but everyone knew. Everyone knew, yes, but kept a hushed silence.
Transgoyarsk had been in the family for generations, the living was hard and the rewards few, but Stransky was a loyal citizen of Starovstok Prime and he knew his duty.
The first sign of trouble was a panicked voice over the comm. It was Orlovsky, his foreman. It seemed there had been a catastrophic pressure loss in the hexagonia drilling platform and the rig crews were unable to deal with it.
Stransky passed on the message over the master vox and his voice boomed out across the grim little shantytown that housed the mines workforce.
As Stransky stepped out of the storm shelter the freezing chill of the icy wind stung his eyes, but he was a veteran of these conditions and cared little for such things. Already the emergency response crews were making their way up the muddy track, stark black against the snow and ice in their coveralls and thermo coats. He greeted the men as they filed passed and through the camp, resplendent with its triumphal slogans painted on rusty red corrugated synsteel sheds.
It took Stransky and his best men nearly an hour to reach the hexagonia face; no further messages had reached them. Area 75, why was it always area 75?

Stransky knew they were dead, even as the lift door opened. Such an experienced miner, he knew what was coming.
The Transgoyarsk salt mine passed from the Stransky family that day, for both of his sons and his only daughter died down in the cold night dark depths too.
It took the best part of a fortnight to douse the fire. Less than 20 bodies were recovered of the 317 souls estimated to be in the mine.
The lower levels are now flooded and may be lost forever.
Stransky and his family were never identified. According to the report, the fire was caused by the drill head contacting a gas pocket that erupted into flame and scoured the entire complex. The few remaining workers had their doubts though. It was area 75 after all, and over the next few weeks, the shanty down gradually emptied and eventually became a ghost town.
Now, about this time there emerged an odd circumstance.
The Transgoyarsk mine straddled the boundary line between Novgoro and Oberamadny. Previously, this had gone unnoticed, but now, there emerged a veritable war of bureaucratic nonsense. It seemed that neither province was willing to foot the rapidly rising costs of managing the site. For months the wrangling went on, with no apparent solution in sight. From amongst the chaos arose a previously unknown mining concern. They agreed to foot the bill and reopen the mine. The bureaucratic squabble thus ended and these unknown men of business did just that.
But, it is a strange thing that neither the Novgoro nor Oberamadny clerks remember quite how this happened. Nor can they demonstrate it with records.
But, the problem was solved and, for a time, everybody was happy.
