Recently I have been looking at genestealers in a new light. (checkout my genestealer hybrids post). But I would also wanted to add somemore genestealers, I wanted them to stand out from the standard ones everyone else uses.

So a unit upgrade is in order! Looking at everyone elses ideas has led me to try and come up with something different, inparticular how the unit upgrade is shown on the models. To this end I picked flesh hooks, why them? Well I want them for a kill team game, and they can still be standard genestealers for space hulk. So I thought about how to show the hooks. The hooks mounted on the chest look odd, and in the mouth are cool, but I have seen them done that way plenty of times. So I decided to go with them in their hands! Yep, spiderman style.

This I hope will make them stand out in games. A little bit more than if I had had simply done the hooks in mouth like everyone else.
