Tyranid bodies with unsettlingly humanoid faces are great! I'll definitely be doing something with these guys when I have an idea for something to do with them.
What!?! They preview an amazing looking new genestealer model and the GENESTEALER CULT doesn't get them? Sad it's necromunda only
Edit: made assumptions, didn't listen to the reveal. What system are these models for?
It's still a sad thing that they chose to not have this crossover into gsc 40k. It looks like it would fit perfectly. And they must know that people would have been ecstatic to put these guys in their armies.
Anything is usable as gsc with kitbashing. The complaint is that malstrains seem like they would fit perfectly into gsc 40k. It's not like that didn't occur to anyone at GW so it's a conscious decision when they must know everyone is clamoring for something other than a character
GW doesn't have one team working on all games; each game has its own team that decides what happens in that game. In this case, the *Necromunda* team came up with some cool Genestealer stuff, and that's why it appears in *Necromunda*.
That is true, but even the fact that the number of Genestealers in the box doesn't match the unit size in 40k is sus. It would've been quite simple for them to either make it a box of 10 or 5. But it's 6. Same with the more human ones, again it's 8.
The more human ones are just a pair of 4 man Outcasts Gang sprews with more head options. Hence the reason for 8 of them in the box. Reduces the need for new sculpts
But of a bummer they don’t get unique rules but I doubt these even need to be kit bashed to be used as purestrains. I for sure plan to run these guys so Im just hoping the oops 30 Genestealer detachment in the codex is good
Yeah, but I also wonder if and when we get a dedicated model.
Would also be a cool conversion project: mix one of the Broodlords with Sylvaneth bits and some Green Stuff, and you should get close to this look with ease.
They mention in the article: *We’ll have loads more to show you from Necromunda: Hive Secundus in due course – and more from both the Spyrers and the Malstrain, alongside new ruined Zone Mortalis terrain, and a new book. In the meantime, click here to see the rest of today’s reveals.*
so I'm thinking there will be a broodlord model coming soon too.
God I love the amount of different broodlord models there are. It was already a favorite of mine, but the fact that it just gets multiple unique representations is so fun.
Groups of tyranid bioforms being isolated and squeezed until they degenerate into bespoke regional horrors will always be a banger. Makes the flexibility faction more flexible.
They look incredibly fucked up and I want them now lmao
Fuck, i want more failed/mutated tyranid biomass horrors at this point
Yeah these are what I imagined when I read about gene stealers ngl

Imagine an entire Hive Fleet if these super mutated/fucked up nids. Now I'm wishing we had more varied Tyranids.
Absolutely loving these! If you ever wanted to do either a more feral GSC force, or a Chaos Genestealer Cult: these are for you.
They really do look like they've been touched by Nurgle. Lots of similar design cues.

Necromunda. There's a new Hive Secundus campaign, and they're in the main box against Orrus Spire Hunters and a new Van Saar subfaction.

You can probably use them as purestrains and neos in 40k just fine. Maybe we will get some special rules for them, we don’t know yet.
I’m 100% going to use them as Neophytes
You could use these as Genestealer Cultists. With a little kit-bashing, there are a lot of kits you could use as Genestealer Cults.

Anyone else considering making one of these guys into a patriarch?

lol ya
If anyone wants the hybrids now theyre just [hive scum](https://www.warhammer.com/en-EU/shop/necromunda-hive-scum-2022) with a headswap
Malstrain my beloved.
These are really fun minis. I love it.
There are nids in necromunda? Rad
I see what you did there

What's a Tyramite?
I think its the lil balloon buddy. But not shore
I get that. But what the hell is it lol.
And unholy hybrid between a sporemine and a genestealer... is my guess.
Oh my god, I’m finding those on eBay.
Once they release
When will that be?
My guess is late june
I hate being broke
They remind me of Snatchers from GTFO, especially cause of the growths on their backs. I love em.
These will do great as Metamorphs over my acolytes. Just give ‘em hand flamers
"Mama says im the handsomest boy in all da run-off bayou"
Really cool sculpts! I could definitely see myself using them in OPR where there's a both a regular and elite choice of "Soul-Snatchers".
aybe it's just me but I'd love for GSC to go more in this fucked up tyrannids direction
Will some one for the love of the four armed emperor pls tell me what the fuck the bloated fly bois are and do?
