A new and cool Genestealer Hybrid, also known as McSkree. This gun-slinging Hybrid looks like he just got dropped in a Western and told to [[Pretend|'blend in',]] or if you're into the classics, they would look like the [[Awesome|lovechild between a Genestealer and Clint Eastwood.]] Seriously, with that poncho and pose, all it is missing is a cowboy hat.

Kelermorphs are a type of third-generation Genestealer Hybrid that specialize in killing the Cult's enemies in a blaze of high-caliber revolver fire from their [[Liberator Autostub]]s. The Kelermorph is a late refinement of the third generation cycle of Genestealer Hybrids, produced from the finest genetic strains of the local populace. They are gifted with hyper-sensory powers that allow them to perceive the world around them in acute detail and rapid-firing neurons allow them to react with supernatural speed. They also possess enhanced olfactory senses and infrared vision that allows for pinpoint marksmanship even in pitch darkness, and an enhanced inner ear for improved balance and coordination. If you are wondering how carrying three stub revolvers is going to matter in the 41st Millennium, it's a combination of a very competent wielder, inexplicably good guns, and explicably good bullets. Abused indentured workers who heard the legend of Billy Joe Kelermorph the Triple Gunslinger often risk their lives to smuggle traces of lethal chemical elements out of arms factories in order to fashion these into rare depleted volonium bullets for the Kelermorph's use. These bullets can pierce [[Power Armour]] [[Powergamer|and even the hulls of light tanks]]. While it's not fully explained how a stub revolver has the same range as a bolt pistol - which can be argued that it could easily be some combination of higher-end guns and the wielder's enhanced acumen, it's not actually explained are how the damned things shoot at the same rate of fire as a lasgun or bolter, or how they do ''twice'' the damage of them. This begs the question of why the AdMech never bother to make these bullets for the autoweapons of the [[Imperial Guard]] if god-damned sweatshop workers could get the job done. It's not even the AdMech hoarding all the good shit for themselves like they always do; the only pistol the AdMech can make on par with this thing is a [[macrostubber]], a gun so exotic only a dominus can carry one. The only other comparable pistol in the Imperium is an [[Eversor assassin]]'s [[Executioner Pistol|executioner pistol]] (which is admittedly ''better'' than it)! If sweatshop workers can build this shit from mere trace elements of their work and apparently somehow have the knowledge for it, then just what the fuck are they building at their factories? If GW ever bothers to explain this discrepancy, they'll probably lazily hand wave it away by claiming Kelermorphs psychically improve the effectiveness of their weapons similar to how ork shootas function better when wielded by an ork.

Like an Acolyte Hybrid, the Kelermorph is less distinctly human and still possess three arms each ending in a humanoid hand. However, like the Neophyte Hybrid, it does not seem to suffer from being born with some Tyranid biomorphs and retains all three humanoid hands that, while bestial, are at least somewhat articulate in function. So basically, the Kelermorph likes to abuse the hell out of it. As they say, the more hands the merrier.

Because of their nature of being vintage cowboy knockoffs, these chaps like to go in alone with very little form of visible backup. Thus, these lone wolves either [[Get shit done|get shit done]] or have their own band of genestealer followers to get even ''more'' shit done. Many of them gain a reputation as folk heroes whose feats are whispered among anyone who's starting to distrust Imperial authority.

The most famous of these Kelermorphs goes by the name of Ghyrson Starn, [[Lolwut|who is such a famous Genestealer cultist that he has his own band of fanboys following him around]]. He leads the kill team known as Starn's Disciples, which is composed of Acolytes and Metamorphs. [[Lulz|Yeah, it is both ridiculous and hilarious that we have canonical Genestealer idols]]. Next thing you know, the [[Hive Mind]] will be formulating some devious plan to [[Monstergirls|create a legion of kawaii xenos insect girls to]] [[Weeaboo|tempt the more weak-willed Imperial followers]].
