Aberrants

An Aberrant is a Genestealer hybrid who was born mutated for a number of different reasons from the normal phenotype for their generation of the brood cycle. Though misshapen and possessed of an inferior intellect, Aberrants are physically powerful, have superhuman endurance and are possessed of a potent need to protect the other members of their Genestealer Cult. For this reason, they are used as shock assault troops by their cult’s leaders. Like Hybrid Metamorphs, Aberrants also sometimes undergo a rapid genetic restructuring as a Tyranid hive fleet draws near their homeworld and they spontaneously develop the biomechancial biomorph weapons of other Tyranid bioforms. Misshapen, lumpen and inhumanly strong, the Aberrants are the repugnant offshoots of the brood cycle.
