So for christmas I got a Niddy Battleforce, which contained my first genestealers. On the sprue there were these weird things, I can't really describe them, Kinda mushy blob pieces-terrain, maybe. If you've done genestealers you'll know what I mean. PLease please help!

Be a little patient with replies.

Anyways, I assume those are the little flesh mounts with tentacles around them? Those also came in the Battle For Macragg set and were objective markers used in that set. For the specific mission in Battle for Macragg, they spawned Spore Mines.

They have no actual rules in the game and are just extra terrain bits you get. I personally use them to base my nid-hunting space marines, to give them the feel of being on a nid-infested world. You can also just paint them up without gluing them to anything and use them as Objective Markers.

Help with what exactly? You didn't specify anything.
Identifying blobs? I have done Genestealers and don't know what parts you mean.
If they are the pieces on the left of this picture, they are just random terrain/decoration without a specific function. Other parts may be biomorphs that were used in last edition to represent adrenalin glands or poison.

ah the nostalgia that set brings back. The glory days of Tyranids.

EDIT: I'm assuming he's talking about the two mounds on this sprue:

The closest thing on the other sprue are the variant heads that use to have effects in the old edition.
