Broodlord miniature

Broodlords are a Tyranid leader organism, regarded as the epitome of the Genestealer breed.

Overview

The Broodlord is always the first Genestealer to make planetfall when the Tyranids first infest a world. They are even more powerful than the standard Genestealer, and are specifically adept at infiltration to get closer to the enemy. They are very adaptable and highly intelligent as well as being a synapse creature. Their powerful talons can cut through most materials with ease.
