I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place.

I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to help me identify the Nid bits I'm now in possession of. I traded some Tau for a bunch of Hormigaunts, Termigants, and a couple Carnifexes. The Hormies are built (minus the extra features), but the Termies and Fexes are pieces in a bag. I'm not concerned about building them just identifying what guns and what upgrades are what exactly. I'm new to Nids, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post pictures!

New to Tyranids? http://thetyranidhive.proboards.com/index.cgi

I'll have pics up soon (girlfriend hid the camera), but if anyone knows the pieces that come with the Termie and Fex kits, that's what I'm looking for; they're complete kits just in plastic bags.

The flesh borer is a two-piece weapon. It looks like a simple gun with its opposite arm a simple bony joint.

The devourer is conical in shape, and has an arm with a tube running down it, looking much like intestines. I have used the intestine arm coupled with thte flesh borer in the past to represent toxin sacs.

The spine fists are.... well... a pair of fists that look like the bony/organic verson of brass knuckles, if there were holes between each knuckle to shoot needles out of.

The death spitter and barbed strangler look identical, one is merely a larger version, and the larger one is the barbed strangler. Lastly, the venom cannon looks like a quad-barreled bony weapon with a bayonet appended to it.

hope this helps.

Greatly, thank you. The other pieces I'm curious about would be these things that look like brains ( I'm guessing adrenal sacs? )

Also, the Carnifex heads. Im pretty sure I know which is regen and toxin sacs, but the rest I don't know.

You find all information in the Codex or here:

I was trying to be more subtle

Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

Just to add, I'm aware I'd find what I needed in the codex, but I don't have it, yet. My flgs a bit of a drive, so I'm gonna be without for a bit.

well.... youre still going to need a codex before you settle on weapons...
