Shootastealer

[minotaur3000]

I had loads of old bits and bobs lying about so I decided to make something from them. I had a spare genestealer so I decided to use that as a base. I put a warrior barbed strangler on it, scything talons, I shoved a toxin sac on its head to show enhanced senses, it's got extended carapace and here are it's stats.
Shootastealer-
Pts/model=36
WS=6
BS=3
S=4
T=4
W=2
I=6
A=2
Ld=10
Sv=4+
I will post pics when I finish it.
Barbed strangler stats:
Rng=36"
Str=S-1 (max. S8)
AP=5
Type=Assault 1/large blast, pinning

I'm not saying it doesn't look cool (I haven't seen it) but I talked to a GW employee about putting ranged weapons on Genestealers, and he said it was illegal. Also, the Tyranid Codex states that Genestealers have no ranged bio-morphs.

Nice creativity, but there is a reason genestealers do not get shooting weapons. Giving one of the best CC models in the game a very good shooting weapon might be broken, irregardless of point cost, especially a large blast template pining weapons. But hey, just for a local fun thing, cool!

If you want shooting genestealer, then you can make hybrids.
