How would upgrading broods work?

Do you think it will be limited weapons for each squad or 1 upgrade up's the whole squad? Same with biomorphs.

Your thoughts?

I think for Warriors, there would be different weapon options, like Devourers and Deathspitter, and then one of either barbed strangler (area attack anti-infantry) or venom cannon (anti-vehicle). For gaunts, I think it would be one upgrade for the entire squad^^

I've tried out the Tyranid Mod for the Dark Crusade expansion. Though not all the Tyranid units have the correct models/sounds/animations, there are a few upgrades you can buy. Weapons aside, which I can't remember at the moment, you can buy general upgrades at the equivalent of an armory, to have better armor, hit points, etc.

They put Without Number too, which basically allows for "building" full-strength squads, without having to reinforce them manually. They already come out maxed.

One example of weapon choices I remember though, was Warriors being able to buy one Venom Cannon (as the equivalent of a squad veteran for others).
