Story about Hybrid Meta morph?

[dan3dim]

I would like to learn more about Metamorph.. all I know is this and from 7thed codex..


Background.
Mysteriously triggered when the hive fleets approach, the hybrid metamorphs feature the hybrids of the first and second generation combined with weaponry ordinarily associated with the tyranids themselves. These include items like bone swords that can really be very useful in close combat and others to boot.

I’ll carry on.

“Regardless of host species, Metamorphs will exhibit freakish mutations, echoing not just the forms of their original Genestealer descendants, but those of the wider Tyranid race. As the Hive Fleet near the system infected by the cult, the shadow of the Hive Mind falls upon the infestation’s latest cycles. The weapon-limbs of first and second generation hybrids begin to change, displaying sickle-shaped talons the length of swords or pincers strong enough to crush rock. Whip-like ropes of sinew form at the wrist. Mouths are replaced with masses of tendrils, semi-psychic appendages that lick or burrow into their prey in order to siphon surface thoughts. Throats fat, globulous glands full of bio-acid that can burn through metal in seconds. These myriad mutations become more and more varied as the cult makes its final preparations for war. Their exceptional ugliness is surpassed only by their lethality – the Hybrid Metamorphs are the most vicious of their kind, for they combine human intelligence with the raw alien power of Tyranid weapon-beasts.[1]

To the greater cult, the Metamorphs mutations are seen as blessings of a higher power. Hybrid Metamorphs are worshipped as living saints by the infected hosts that sire them. The lairs of these hybrids are strewn with grisly offerings – brood brothers hope that by pleasing these creatures, they appease the otherworldly powers that have brought them into being. In truth, they are created not by the Patriarch’s will, but by the immortal sentience of the Hive Mind.[1]

Though it is common for two of a Hybrid Metamorph’s weapon-limbs to become solely adapted for war, the third remains truly prehensile, able to manipulate complex machinery and utilize Human weaponry and technology.[1]”

And in Deathwatch book I’ve read long time ago.
( author Steve Parker )
Somewhere in that book that mention there are two six limb abhumans size of dreadnought who kidnap female inquisition, and take her to brood lair past hidden Genestealers Cult chamber undermining.

the metamorphs of a cults members can be associated with simply random mutations due to Genestealer genetics, and/or it can be the psychic presence of the Hive Mind which promotes these mutations in the on coming invasions.

Yeah and the bio-engine are trigger when Hive Mind are on it way to this planet where that metamorph hide.

In Steve Parker’s Deathwatch “abhumans tall as dreadnought” made me think about convertsion Hellbrute into GSC version of Carnifex called Metamorph-Fex!

In short story call A Sanctuary of Wyrms by Peter Fehervari, there are Tyranids hypersleep under bunkers with ][ on gate and in the bunker was secret lab that research bio-engine that went wrong. I was wonder if metamorph was the result of research in Tyranids bio-engine..

That was cool conversion!
Don’t think it can sneak through the Hive City to kidnap people. And that thing was 8 limbs instead of 6 limbs, love the face.
