Im wondering how to show the poison on them and what the shell on there back does..please help this is for my husband but instead of looking more and finding nothing I'm coming to the experts the players of the game...and sorry if this isn't the right place to put this just thought it was

There are bits on the sprew that look like small slugs with big eyes those depict the poisoned weapons the shell thing with 6 small nubs is to make them stronger and faster in close combat

thank you so much..I know where I'm going next time he wants me to look up stuff about this...and the slug thing goes on the back thats what ive seen in pictures anyway

Or on the gun or hand in the case of hormagaunts

The shell is a natural carapace that is similar to insect's exoskeletons as it is hard and used to protect from damage. A tyranid's shell or carapace as it is called more often just provides the creature with natural armor.
