Broodlord
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Broodlord miniature (Space Hulk 3rd Edition)
Broodlords are part of the Tyranids and another leader organism, regarded as the epitome of the Genestealer breed. It 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.
The relationship, if any, between the Broodlord and the Genestealer Patriarch, which is seen considerably less often recently, is unknown.
