Wow talk about a “bug problem”! Here’s some things that stand out from the new Tyrnaid Genestealer sprues:

  • The patriarch is a HULK, this thing has a half of a sprue to itself, with the Magus and Primus splitting the other side.
  • From the looks of the sprue layouts Sprue A and B will be duplicated at least once, as there are 4 Aberrants, and 2 Purestrains included for a total of 39 new Tyranid Genestealer Cult models.
  • There are NO Space Marine parts intermixed on these sprues.
