Broodlord miniature (Space Hulk 3rd Edition)
Broodlords are a Tyranid leader organism, regarded as the epitome of the Genestealer breed.[1]
Overview
The Broodlord is always the first Genestealer to make planetfall when the Tyranids first infest a world[1], and lead the Genestealers in their bloody ambushes.[2]
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 that allows them to function independently from the Hive Mind. Their powerful talons can cut through most materials with ease.[1]
When a Tyranid hive fleet enters an infested system, the Hive Mind asserts its synaptic dominion over the Broodlord and its clan.[2]
