Editing Genestealer Familiar (section)

===Mindwyrm Familiars===

Another sub-species of Genestealer Familiars. Mindwyrm Familiars tend to find themselves attached to [[Genestealer Aberrants#Abominants|Abominants]], the massive hulking alpha-aberrants within the cults. These are generated by the Patriarch to convert a chosen Aberrant into an Abominant through an infusion of the Patriarch's biomass; after the new Abominant is formed, the Mindwyrm stays with it to ensure that the Patriarch can do all the thinking for the big lug.

How the Aberrant can be upgraded is similar to how the Xenomorphs can upgrade a normal Drone into a Praetorian: through special hormonal means. The Familiar implants the selected Aberrant with a portion of the Patriarch's own biomass with an organ similar to a Genestealer's Kiss. How something so small can reliably [[/d/|'get in there']] would be a scene of absolute degeneracy and obscenity. Imagine a [[Squat|midget]] [[NSFW|french kissing]] [[Ogryn|Andre the Giant.]]

Once the injected mutagen is implanted into the chosen Aberrant, the creature is reshaped over a long and agonizing process. Its already robust frame grows even larger and more powerful, while its bones break and are reformed into a more powerful skeletal structure. It gains new potent regenerative abilities that help it survive this process as well as endure in battle.

A Mindwyrm can be differentiated by its more scarred face and a bitchin cloak.

Unlike the other familiars, these guys are not considered separate from their Abominants. They offer 2 extra S4 AP- D1 attacks for the Abominant in melee and force opposed non-Tyranid psykers within 12" to take -1 to their psychic tests.
