I have a copy of Space Hulk and am thinking about different things I can use the genestealers for. Was wondering if I could use them as some kind of CC oriented Warriors since they are so big. Some of these models are huge, while some of them are about the same size as regular stealers. Thoughts?

This should go into the 40k discussion forum, methinks.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with putting your stealers on bases and using them as Genestealers in regular games of 40k. It might be confusing to use them as warriors though, especially if you have other stealers or warriors in your army.

Just mount them on 20mm bases and use them as regular, albeit awesomer, Genestealers.

Prolly what I will end up doing.

you could use them as Ymgarl Genestealers. Because they look very diffrent to the ones you can buy and you can tell them apart from the others

Problem is they are very tall on 20mm m203 grena...I MEAN 20mm bases. They can cause modeling-for-disadvantage problems

Most of them arent going to fit on a 20mm base, either. not by a long shot. It would look comical. That, combined with the sheer size of some of the darn things is the source of the issue in the forst place.
