Brood: The Brood consists of between 8 and 32 Hormagaunts.

Bio-weapons: Scything talons.

Special Rules

Bounding Leap: Hormagaunts move 6" like other troops. However, in the Assault phase they may assault up to 12" (or double the distance of the dice roll if they move through difficult terrain). Hormagaunts advance and fall back 3D6". Also, they count their full number of attacks in close combat if they are within 2" of an enemy model. Remember that when charging models must move into base to base contact with the enemy if they can reach them.

Fleet of Claw: Hormagaunts can race along extremely quickly by using all six limbs for locomotion. To represent this, Hormagaunt broods can move another D6" in the Shooting phase, ignoring penalties for difficult terrain.

Mutable Genus: Hormagaunts are a species of the highly adaptive Gaunt genus. The Gaunt species' characteristics and weaponry can be altered using the bio-genetic modification procedure on pages 36-40.
