HIVE MIND TROOP CHOICES
 
Hunter Slayers

TYRANID HUNTER SLAYERS

Before they were known as Termagants, these Tyranids were called "Hunter Slayers". Small and agile, they relied upon numbers to take down the enemy. Armed with fleshborers, these metal models had only a few poses at that time.

 
Termagants

TERMAGANTS

Once they went from Hunter Slayers to Termagants, these Nids came with a whole slew of strange weaponry. These metal models are armed with either spike rifles, fleshborers, or stranglewebs.

 
Hormagaunts

HORMAGAUNTS

Hormagaunts were extra leapy and quick. Back when each troop type had varying Movement values, these guys rocked an 18" charge and could jump over obstacles 3" high along the way.

 
Genestealer Hybrids

GENESTEALER HYBRIDS

Genestealers that implant their genetic material into humans would produce offspring known as Hybrids. Being mixed beasts, Hybrids had the ability to use conventional weaponry like conversion beamers and bolters! However, Hybrids were nowhere near as nasty as Purestrain Genestealers in close combat.

 
Squigs
Ripper Swarms

SQUIG SWARM

According to some pieces of ancient lore, Squigs are actually Tyranid organisms made from Ork genetic material. However, no one knows for sure anymore. These swarm models were used by sneaky Tyranid players as living shields because they had so many Wounds.

RIPPER SWARMS

The Ripper we all know today was derived from the Squig Swarm but was made to look more like proper Tyranids.
