This seems a little convoluted but lets give it a chance and see how it plays out. New Crusade Rules for Genestealer Cults.
via WarCom
Genestealer Cults is near at hand. It’s going to be a big start to the year in general, with Codex: Adeptus Custodes and Codex: T’au Empire due to launch sometime in early 2022.The growth of a Genestealer Cult requires precision, planning, and generations of careful scheming. To reflect this, the core of the new Crusade rules is built around a brand new mechanic, the Path to Ascension. This is an objective exclusive to the Genestealer Cults, which follows your nascent brood as it attempts to grow by infiltrating an entire planet. You get to choose when you begin walking this path, and you will need a Patriarch, Primus, or Magus to begin.To take over a world, you will need to infiltrate each layer of its Institutions without being discovered. The Path to Ascension rules let you choose between six types of planet, such as forge worlds and agri worlds. These all have different Institutions, like politics, industry, and community.
To assume control of the world, you must earn Ascension points, which can be gained by winning battles or completing Agendas. Certain Agendas and Requisitions can boost your earnings further, rewarding careful planning before and after your games. The infiltration of a new Institution costs three of these points, and every time you infiltrate one, you can claim a special reward.
As your insidious plans creep ever forward, however, you run the risk of being discovered. After each Crusade battle, if you have infiltrated multiple Institutions, you must roll to see if your sinister agents have been caught out.If you are discovered, your next battle will count as the Day of Ascension, when your burgeoning brood gives up its power creep in favour of rising up to overthrow their oppressors and take the world by force. This is an all-or-nothing gamble – if you win you will automatically assume control of the world and complete your mission. However, if you lose, you must abandon your current Path to Ascension.
