Editing Codex - Tyranids: /tg/'s 9th Edition (section)

====Genestealer Brood====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
''In the dark corners of the galaxy, the genestealers are the things which go bump in the night. Multi limbed nightmares who take up home anywhere there is a dark corner to lie and wait. Although horrendously brutal on both the open battlefields in hordes or one on one in a space hulk. What makes the genestealer truly terrifying is how they can turn a planets population against itself, warping them into genestealer hybrids, awaiting the day that they can be consumed by the coming hive fleet.''</div>

'''Special Rules:'''

<tab name="Flurry of Claws">
Models in this unit gain 1 additional attack whilst their unit has 10 or more models.

<tab name="Infestation">
If your army includes any units of Genestealers, you can place up to four infestation nodes anywhere in your deployment zone when your army deploys. You can then set up any units of Genestealers lurking, instead of setting them up on the battlefield. If an enemy model is ever within 9" of an infestation node, the node is destroyed and removed from the battlefield. Whilst there are any friendly infestation nodes on the battlefield, this unit can stop lurking: at the end of your Movement phase, set it up wholly within 6" of a friendly infestation node. That infestation node is then removed from the battlefield. If this unit is still lurking when the last friendly infestation node is removed, this unit is destroyed.
