	Cortex Leeches are loathsome creatures resembling Rippers that leap onto the face of their victims and [[Rape\|insert long feelers into their ears, nose and eyes.]] If that sounds suspiciously similar to the Facehuggers from the Alien films, then it most likely is; albeit its role is different from Ridley Scott's crawling dick-vag. The Cortex Leech's feelers are capable of manipulating and connecting to the new host's brain and their central nervous system, forcing them to become a dribbling puppet under the sway of the Hive Mind. ~~Essentially, they combine the function of the previously mentioned Facehugger, the role of the [[Halo\|Flood]] and the looks of a giant cockroach with teeth.~~		Cortex Leeches are loathsome creatures resembling Rippers that leap onto the face of their victims and [[Rape\|insert long feelers into their ears, nose and eyes.]] If that sounds suspiciously similar to the Facehuggers from the Alien films, then it most likely is; albeit its role is different from Ridley Scott's crawling dick-vag.

	Tyranid ~~zombie-makers~~. Allegedly, under the right conditions can infect things up to and including [[What\|titans.]]		Essentially, they're the Tyranid equivalent of the mind control spores from the DC comics supervillain Starro. And they look like cockroaches with teeth and tentacles.

	The best way to deal with them is to wear a gas mask, equip yourself with a [[Flamer]] and raise holy bloody merry on these overgrown house lice.		The best way to deal with them is to wear a gas mask, equip yourself with a [[Flamer]] and raise holy bloody merry on these overgrown house lice.

	Neural Domination: Cortex Leeches do not kill their prey; they take over their bodies and turn them against their former allies. Prior to any attacks at the Cortex Leeches' Initiative step, enemy models in base contact with at least one Cortex Leech swarm must take an Initiative check. Models that fail immediately make their full base attacks (including bonuses from multiple close combat weapons, but not including bonuses from charging) against their own unit (or against themselves if they do not have a unit), and may not make any further attacks during the rest of the fight sub-phase.
