The Malstrain is a sinister mutation of the Genestealer Curse. Attempts to develop a vaccine against the xenos plague only twisted it into something even more horrifying – an alien cancer that continues to fester within Hive Secundus. The Genestealers of the Malstrain are nightmarish evolutionary aberrations, marked by extreme speed and aggression, capable of shredding a full-grown Goliath into bloody fragments within seconds. They are accompanied by the gangs and Brood Scum they have infected, as well as Malstrain Tyramites – grotesquely enlarged insectoid parasites, swollen with Malstrain infection, that follow their chosen masters like loyal, chittering hounds.
This multipart plastic kit allows you to build your own Malstrain or Malstrain Corrupted gang, including six Malstrain Genestealers and four Malstrain Tyramites. Each Malstrain Genestealer is equipped with razor-sharp claws and comes with a range of head options, including drooling tongues, barbed ovipositors, and tentacles. The Malstrain Tyramites float after them, featuring two different tentacle options and two body designs. The kit also includes 10 mutated heads for creating Brood Scum, which are designed to be used with the Hive Scum models, sold separately.
Contents include:
– 6x Malstrain Genestealer bodies in three designs, each with four chitinous alien arms to create various skulking poses
– 14x Malstrain Genestealer heads in seven distinct designs
– 4x Malstrain Tyramites in two designs, with interchangeable tentacles in two different styles
– 10x Brood Scum heads in five designs, ideal for transforming Hive Scum bodies
