A high-damage melee unit effective against infantry that infiltrates when standing still. Can be upgraded with to be effective against all targets.

Genestealers (Corporaptor hominii in High Gothic) are Tyranid vanguard creatures, lethal melee fighters capable of stealth. They are deployed in preparation of a Tyranid invasion and can function independently, without the Hive Mind. Genestealers reproduce by contaminating host creatures with their genetic code.

The Genestealer Brood is a high-damage melee unit with power melee attacks. It infiltrates after staying still for 4 seconds. The brood can be upgraded with Rending Claws, giving heavy melee damage and making the Genestealers effective against all targets.
