Editing Barbgaunt (section)

==Overview==
Barbgaunts are a Tyranid light artillery-organism, working closer to the front line than [[Hive Guard]] and [[Biovore]]s. If anything, Barbgaunts are basically baby Biovores for all intents and purposes. But in terms of their nature, they heavily resemble dedicated light artillery with airburst munitions than anything else. True to most Tyranid artillery units, the [[Light Bio-Cannon|bio-cannons]] on their backs are actually bonded with the same parasitic organism that has enslaved the rest of the gaunt to its will, merging body and weapon into a single lethal entity.

It does come at a cost though. Their heavy weaponry forces the Barbgaunt to adapt to a more tripodal position, making them comparatively slow, awkward and sluggish compared to their more nimble cousins. It's unclear if they have to walk as a tripod or if they only need to brace themselves on three legs when firing.
