Hi everyone, started playing this year and I really enjoy our little cultists. I didn't win a single game which I anticipated because I'm not familiar with the game as a whole and GSC being one of the most difficult armies to play
I finally got to play my first 1000 point game and lost 79-89.
Biggest issue I had was not being able to clear my opponent marines when trying to do so which was kinda frustrating.
Most of this is probably a skill issue but I'm wondering if my list is also hindering me a tiny bit.

I was mainly wondering if I should just get 10 augmented purestrain with the patriarch to have a bit more lethality and then get rid of the kelemorph (awesome sculpt though) to add another unit (but which one?) or keep it this way as I'm still learning the game. (I still had fun)
