I had a go at making a full codex version of a vangaurd force of stealer. Not a cult at all. Just pure stealers. So here it is:
CODEX GENESTEALERS
Copywrite Terrible_Trygon LTD. Produced 18/12/2005
HQ
0-1 ELDAR GENESTEALER BROOD
Pts/model...WS...BS...S...T...W...I...A...Ld...Sv
.....25..........6......3....4...3....1...6...2...10...5+
Brood: 5-12
Bio-weapons: Eldar Genestealers have rending claws. As with all Genestealers they show slight mutability and the whole brood may take the following weapon-symbiotes and biomorphs-enhancements chosen from the list below at the points cost indicated per model.
Acid Maw * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4 points
Extended Carapace (+1 Sv) . . . . .4 points
Feeder Tendrils * . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 point
Flesh Hooks * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1 point
Enhanced Senses . . . . . . . . . . . . .4 points
Twin-linked Devourers **, *** . . . 8 points
Implant Attack . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3 points
Scything Talons ** . . . . . . . . . . .4 points
Toxin Sacs (+1 S). . . . . . . . . . . . 4 points
Spinefists ** . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5 points
Twin-linked Deathspitter **, *** . .10 points
Scuttlers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4 points
* Eldar Genestealers may not have more than one of these biomorphs.
** Eldar Genestealers may only have one of these bio-weapons.
*** For every 5 Eldar Genestealers in the brood you may field one of these bio-weapons.
SPECIAL RULES
Super fast. As with all genestealers, Eldar Genestealers have fleet of foot, but because of the Eldar DNA, Eldar Genestealers roll two dices for fleet of foot. Pick the highest roll.
Synapse. Eldar genestealers have a highly evolved brain. This enables them to expand their brood telepathy to a higher level of power.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ELITE
ORKOID GENESTEALER BROOD
Pts/model...WS...BS...S...T...W...I...A...Ld...Sv
.....18..........6.....0.....4...5....1...4...2...10...5+
Brood:5-12
Bio-weapons: Orkoid Genestealers have rending claws. As with all Genestealers they show slight mutability and the whole brood may take the following weapon-symbiotes and biomorphs-enhancements chosen from the list below at the points cost indicated per model.
Acid Maw * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4 points
Extended Carapace (+1 Sv) . . . . .5 points
Feeder Tendrils * . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 point
Flesh Hooks * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1 point
Implant Attack . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3 points
Scything Talons ** . . . . . . . . . . . 4 points
Toxin Sacs (+1 S). . . . . . . . . . . . 4 points
* Orkoid Genestealers may not have more than one of these biomorphs.
** Orkoid Genestealers may only have one set of scything talons.
SPECIAL RULES
Slow. Orks are slow. This is one of the letdowns of the Ork DNA. This affects the Orkoid Genestealer by reducing its speed so it cannot use fleet of foot like normal genestealers can.
Brood Telepathy. Orkoid Genestealers have their own brood telepathy, which allows them to function independently without the influence of the Hive Mind. Because of this, Orkoid Genestealer broods outside the range of any Synapse Creatures do not use the Instinctive Behaviour rules and instead take morale checks and pinning tests just like ordinary troops.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TROOP
KROOT GENESTEALER BROOD
Pts/model...WS...BS...S...T...W...I...A...Ld...Sv
.....11..........5.....0.....3...3....1...5...1...10...6+
Brood: 6-15
Bio-weapons: Kroot Genestealers have rending claws. As with all Genestealers they show slight mutability and the whole brood may take the following weapon-symbiotes and biomorphs-enhancements chosen from the list below at the points cost indicated per model.
Acid Maw * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3 points
Extended Carapace (+1 Sv) . . . . .3 points
Feeder Tendrils * . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 point
Flesh Hooks * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1 point
Implant Attack . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2 points
Scything Talons ** . . . . . . . . . . . 3 points
Toxin Sacs (+1 S). . . . . . . . . . . . 3 points
Scuttlers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3 points
* Kroot Genestealers may not have more than one of these biomorphs.
** Kroot Genestealers may only have one set of scything talons.
SPECIAL RULES
Fleet of Claw. Kroot Genestealers can scuttle towards their prey at analarming rate. They use Fleet of Foot as described on page 74 of the Warhammer 40.000 rulebook.
Weak Brood Telepathy. Kroot Genestealers have their own brood telepathy, which allows them to function independently without the influence of the Hive Mind. Kroot DNA is also very disfunctional. Because of this, Kroot Genestealer broods outside the range of any Synapse Creatures do not use the Instinctive Behaviour rules and instead take morale checks and pinning tests just like ordinary troops as a normal Genestealer would, but have their leadership decreased to 6. When within the range of a synapse creature it reverts back to 10.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TROOP
GENESTEALER GROT BROOD
Pts/model...WS...BS...S...T...W...I...A...Ld...Sv

Weak Brood Telepathy. Genestealer Grots have their own brood telepathy, which allows them to function independently without the influence of the Hive Mind. Grot DNA is also very disfunctional.

When within the range of a synapse creature it reverts back to 10.
Smallish Targets. Genestealer Grots are small, but not small enough to count as small targets. When shooting at them it is –1 to hit.
Swarm! If the Brood consists of more than 15 Genestealer Grots then the whole brood may gather and attack one single model. This model must be in base contact and in engaged with the brood in combat. The brood’s attacks are converted into 3, strength 8 attacks. No armour saves are allowed and invulnerable saves are reduced by –2 to a minimum of 6+.

This is how you field some of the Codex Tyranid broods with codex genestealers.
HQ
BROODLORD
See page 36 of Codex Tyranids. May take 12 Genestealers in a retinue. 0-1 limitations are lifted for Genestealer swarms that are 1000 points and more, but you can only field one Broodlord for every 1000 points.
ELITE
LICTORS
See page 38 of Codex Tyranids. 0-1 limitations are lifted for Genestealer swarms that are 1000 points and more, but you can only field one Brood of Lictors for every 1000 points.
TROOP
GENESTEALER BROOD
See page 39 of Codex Tyranids. Fielded as normal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here how to feild Codex Genestealer Broods in a Codex Tyranids Swarm.
USING CODEX GENESTEALERS WITH CODEX TYRANIDS
If you want to field Broods from Codex Genestealers in your Standard Tyranid swarm then you can select anything you want. They only limitations are; 60% of your swarm must be from Codex Tyranids and you must have at least one Codex Tyranids brood in each Force Organisation Chart slot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the moment I am working on Broodlord Traits which affect their stats, weapons and what Genestealer species they have in their retinue. Please do not quote from this post. It is to big.

You are Anima, a secret aeon. People may use and betray you, and you tend to blame yourself for others' actions. You believe that doing good now can help fix the pain of the past.

no, tyranids book is great the way it is.
people just need to be smarter.
I run a perfectly 'unbeatable' army composed of mostly genestealers (1500 points, 45 stealers, 30 hormagaunts, 3 zoan and 1 broodlord) http://codex40k.com/blog/gallery/tyranids/
I find it obnoxious how all the publications either say 'godzilla' or 'horde'. the most effective way is to use lots of mid-strength units with lots of rending.
however, if you would try to 'publish' this it might need a little more work. for mutability purposes (and since it's a vanguard) some mind-controlled guard would fit in nicely.
also for shooting, if you wanted an 'all-stealer' would be power-armored marine stealers (rending claws and bolters!), kind of like a predalien, but with armor
ELITE
MARINE STEALERS
Pts.....WS...BS...S...T...W...I...A...Ld...Sv
.20.......6.....4....4...4...1....5...2..10...3+
weapons
bolter and rending claws
upgrades
Terminator armor (with weapons)....25 pts (access to terminator weapons?)
Marine tactical squad weapons.........pts as listed
normal tyranid /stealer upgrades......pts as listed
veteran sergeant (synapse)..............18 pts
(don't feel like thinking anymore)
the rule for 'almost small targets' for the grot stealers is over balanced. i'll hopefully come back later and give a more detailed review (since i just skimmed over it). pm me if you really want it (or a site to put it up on).

That has to be the most insane idea I have ever seen. More of a Stealer Cult thing really.

I was thinking that the models would be like marines bodies with stealers heads, top rending claws and lower marine arms...almost like a mutant. but it would be grown in the vats like other tyranids alongside a captured/dead marines, eat out the flesh and inhabit it's armor. how's that for background!

It's an interesting idea. I like how you played each race in along with it...
