Editing Hormagaunt (section)

=== Other Variants of Gaunt ===
Because [[Games Workshop|the Hive Mind]] loves reusing [[Finecast|bioforms]], there are a number of variants of the gaunt:
*[[Termagant]]: Their ranged siblings.
**[[Spinegaunt]]: Termagants that are fanboys of the [[Kelermorph Hybrid|bug cowboy]].
*[[Gargoyle (Tyranids)|Gargoyle]]: Their flying siblings.
*[[Barbgaunt]]: One of the new Tyranid models coming out of 10th edition, these unfortunate gaunts are artillerists and thus have been enslaved by parasitic bio-weapons, much like [[Exocrine|the]] [[Biovore|other]] [[Pyrovore|variants]] of Nid artillery.
*[[Neurogaunt]]: Much like the above, the Neurogaunt is both a new model from 10th edition and enslaved by another parasitic Nid. In this case, it's a [[Neurocyte]], a biological internet router for the Hive Mind.
*Nightgaunt: Defined by the 3rd edition codex as a Gargoyle with Scything Talons and an Implant Attack.
*Deathgaunt: Likewise defined by the 3rd edition codex, a Hormagaunt with Scything Talons and Toxin Sacs.

Additionally, there are many, ''many'' gaunts mentioned in the fluff but not fluffed out beyond the name and some artwork that [[Derp|portrays them all as regular Hormagaunts or Termagants]]. A chance for [[/tg/ gets shit done|/tg/ to get shit done]], especially since a good number can be guessed based on their name and those of the other Nid organisms:
*Crucigants
*Exegants: Given the similarities in name to the Exocrine in name, they're probably a Barbgaunt variant with a small Bio-Plasmic Cannon instead of the Light Bio-Cannon.
*Genogants
*Hellgaunts: <s>Similar to [[Hellgun]], so clearly a form carrying a [[Multilaser]]. [[C.S Goto|This pleases them]]</s>. {{BLAM}}
*Lashgaunts: Probably Hormagaunts with Lash Whips, like the Spinegaunts are to Termagants.
*Malgants: While the name is similar to the [[Maleceptor]] and thus implies some form a psychic variant, the Neurogaunt already fills that role. So they're likely either a variant name for them in the new fluff or some form of offensive psychic repeater.
*Mortegaunts
*Protogaunts: Perhaps the original gaunt genus?
*Pyrogaunts: Some form of flamer variant and probably as shit as their [[Pyrovore|elder brother]].
*Razorgants
*Rendergants
*Slashgaunts
*Terrorgaunts
*Toxigaunts: Given the resemblance to the name of the [[Toxicrene]], probably something like that and the [[Venomthrope]], a gaunt with Feeder Tendrils and spore chimneys on their backs. Given the similarities of the Toxicrene and Venomthrope with the Maleceptor and [[Zoanthrope]] respectively, one could even convert some from the Neurogaunts.
