Do most tyranid sets come with their respective biomorph sprues?

I'm thinking about getting a warrior brood, but I'm not sure if it comes with the monstrous arms sprue.
I'm thinking about getting a couple hormaguant sets, but do they come with the biomorph sprue?

Another question: How many ymgarl heads does the genestealer set have?

I'm pretty sure that the sets come with a sprue of miomorphs that they are able to take. I have no clue as to the number of ymgral heads.

When you get your new kits you can add them to the sprue catalog http://www.theboatoftomorrow.org/sprues/index.php?title=Main_Page so that others in the future won't have the same problem!

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the current Hormagaunt sprue does not come with the biomorph sprue (the one with devourers).

8 Genestealer box has 2 of each type of "special" heads
And there used to be one monstrous arm set in battleforce box(4th ed.), no idea if it comes with Warriors.
As for hormagaunts.. no idea. Sorry.

Hormagaunts can't even take devourers, right? that would be Termagaunts.

Come to think of it, the only biomorphs for Hormagaunts are toxin sacs and adrenal glands, which don't have a bit.

I could be wrong as it has been a couple weeks since I read that codex.

Hormagaunt boxes have no upgrades. The toxin sacs and adrenals are in the gaunts box now since they separated the sets. Warriors have three warrior sprues and one monstrous arm sprue like you see on GW's site in the bitz section.

Okay,that's great (about the warriors), but what set can I buy to get the biomorph sprue shown here: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1320001&prodId=prod1330036 ?

This came with the previous battleforce,IIRC. I need like 2 of these, but I have no clue what set they come in. I'm certainly not buying them separately if I can get them in a set..

Oh,haha, nevermind I understand! The upgrade sprue comes in the termagant box,okay

Yeah, sorry. Termagants. I haven't absorbed the new nomenclature. They're still all gaunts to me.

What about he hive tyrant? Do you know what extra stuff that come with? It looks like it has all of the carnifexe's options...

It's a return to the old nomenclature, from 2nd edition.

Uh-huh. Yeah, I understand. ^.^

Hive tyrant comes in a box/blister type thingy with options for lash whip, bonesword, and maybe a HVC? It's been so long since i've bought mine i don't remember.

If you need adrenals, toxin sacs, devourers or spare connector arms for your gaunts just ask local 'nid players for some spares. I have about three trillion and I would just give them away if anybody needed them.

It's got a metal bonesword and lash whip. And this sprue from the carnifex kit.
It's got the stranglethorn cannon, heavy venom cannon, toxin sacs, adrenal gland and extra armor bits.

I know, but I got used to the generic gaunts regardless of weaponry and switching back to "classic" terminology just hasn't sunk in.

Would you mind mailing me like four hormaguant scything talons?lol.

PM me with your mailing address. I have a few I can part with, though they've been cut and might need some tiny bits of green stuff.

no problem, I've just got like 2 guants that need arms. I'll throw a dollar your way. ^.^
