I'd figure the stats for a Tyranid Swig would depend on the subtype of Tyranid, what kind of drinks they like, how thirsty they were, whether or not the Hive Mind has had a really horrible day, etc. Generally, though, I'd think Hive Tyrants and Carnifexes would have generally larger stats on their swigs than, say, Termagaunts or Genestealers. And a proper Tyranid swig thrower would be the canteenmorph or flaskmorph, being organic constructs resembling one of the old canteens from Boy Scouts and a fifth bottle of Maker's Mark respectively. Really thirsty Tyranids would prolly go for the Biggulpgaunt, I'd think... :) *someone whispers in my ear and hits me upside the head with a bonesword* Oh, you said Tyranid SQUIGS and a Tyranid squig thrower... Uh, I don't think you'll find those. See, squigs are critters used generally by Orks for damn near everything, even cosmetic use. (Hairsquigs, titsquigs, etc.) Tyranids, on the other hand, tend to have critters with names ending on "morph" or "gaunt" which are used for damn near everything (but not cosmetics, and nobody knows why. Perhaps the thought of Titmorphs and Wignaughts makes the Hive Mind very, very ill. :). The exercise of which is ultimately more evil is left as an exercise to the reader. :) -- -Windigo The Feral (NYAR!) |bleu| Jihaddi, AHWW Cyberpack Member, Spam-Hunter and unrepentant fan of | () | 2000AD, Poison Elves and Lizzy Borden. ;) PGP Key upon request. | /\ | Tie on a Blue Ribbon for Net.freedom--learn more at http://www.eff.org. *Notice: Unsolicited commercial email is subject to archival fee of $200 US per message--mailing denotes acceptance of these terms.* Rip the system.
