Tyranid Hive Fleets float through the void of space searching for biomass to consume. Space is a big place, and the Tyranids narrow their hunt with vanguard organisms who locate the juiciest planets for the main fleet to descend upon.
Genestealers are one of these species of creature, vicious four-armed killers which have existed almost as long as Warhammer 40,000 itself.
These creatures range out in advance of the Tyranid hive fleet, inhabiting great Space Hulks that drift through space, which will inevitably attract the attention of greedy salvagers over time. They secrete themselves on the scrap haulers and exploratory vessels that return to populated worlds, where they bed in undercover and spread their malign influence.
This results in a Genestealer Cult, hoodwinked by the synaptic power of the Genestealer into believing that the hive fleet is a god sent to unshackle them from their drudgery.
In battle,these ferocious aliens are a blur of rending claws, able to tear even a mighty Terminator limb from limb with little resistance.
This dynamic new kit refines the classic design, adding heavier carapace plates, and a sense of terrifying motion through a range of new poses. There are even enough betentacled Ymgarl heads included to outfit the whole unit, a nod to the mysterious variant first encountered on the moons of Ymgarl.
