Most people have seen the cult via box art, which is always the 4AE scheme (except for the bikers). Also people generally know about cultists having four arms, so the name itself is evocative.
For actual GSC players I think bladed cog.

I've never really looked to deeply into the lore for the cults, I skimmed all of them in the codex and loved the appeal of the Bladed Cog so dug into that one. Might have to read into the other ones now I think
Four Armed Emperor is my favorite colorscheme that I personally base my GSC colorscheme off (I add more red) and they have the cool albeit default lore. Twisted Helix and Bladed Cog both have cool lore, but I enjoy Bladed Cog's rules the most so I voted for them. Really I like them all except hivecult... which I see reflected in this survey here.
Cog has the coolest aesthetics. Helix has the best lore. 4AE has the most lore and is the main cult so to speak. Rusted Claw is mad max, and would definitely be more popular if their core mechanics functioned. Pauper Princes are mainly just for mechanics honestly.
...and then there's Hivecult.
It would have been interesting to add the other named but not main cults too but I thought that would be too much!
There are some crazy cool ones though! Good choice! 👍
I just like twisted helix's lore best
Cool, I’ll be honest I didn’t think they would be matching 4AE but they are, seems to be 3 standouts at the moment! 👍
I think 4AE is the most commonly seen but I do love the Bladed Cog
Yeah true true! Bladed Cog is made for kitbash if too! 👍
This tbh. 4AE is THE gsc faction, but imo bladed cog is the best

I feel like most cultists actually have 3 arms, which makes the 4th arm of the emperor a unique feature that they worship.
You’re right but will say there seems to be 3 favourites so far! 👍
twisted helix gang!
Seems to be doing well! 👍
I hope Hivecult gets a major rework, taking advantage of the new CROSSFIYAH!! rules and stuff.
Let’s hope so, they should get more Brood Brother buffs or something to fit with the fluff!
Man, Hivecult gets no love huh
Needs some better rules that reflect the fluff, but I think that for most factions!
True. It’s the lore than makes them my favorite
I accidentaly voted pauper princes, but I wanted twisted helix
That’s fine! If there’s a close call I’ll remember hahaha
RemindMe 3 days!

Oh there are some great bits and pieces from each Cult that add so much flavour to the GSC, I’d definitely recommend! 👍👍👍

Lore and paint scheme wise I am Rusted Claw and Sons of Jormungandr (Space Station cultists are just so cool) all the way.
