Broods of Hybrid Acolytes and Neophytes sometimes fight together as units on the battlefield, armed with the best weapons and armour available to the Cult. Hybrid broods will either stay back to give long range fire support with their heavy weapons or advance concealed in the midst of their brethren to leap upon their opponents in close combat.
Brood: The brood consists of 5 to 20 Genestealer Hybrids. You may combine Neophytes and Acolytes within the same brood.
Weapons: Neophytes have a laspistol and close combat weapon. Acolytes have a lasgun.
Options: Up to two Hybrids may be armed with one of the following: flamer at +3 points; plasma gun at +5 points; meltagun at +8 points; or a grenade launcher at +12 points.

Brood Brothers are basically IG and PDF that have defected to the Genestealer Cult. They can also contain criminals, and the diseffected poor population, so their armament can be widely varied, everything from a club to bolt guns. In my experience, such things as bows and crossbows are a waste of time, but swords, autopistols, stubb guns, laspistols, and shotguns can be useful.
Brood: The brood consists of 10 to 20 Brood Brothers.
Weapons: Brood Brothers have a lasgun, or a laspistol and close combat weapon.
Options: Up to two Brood Brothers may be armed with one of the following: flamer at +3 points; plasma gun at +5 points; meltagun at +8 points; or a grenade launcher at +12 points.
Two of the Brood Brothers may be formed into a weapon team armed with one of the following weapons: heavy bolter at +5 points; missile launcher at +10 points; lascannon at +15 points; autocannon at +10 points, mortar at +10 points.
The entire squad may be armed with frag grenades at +1 point per model.
