I bought my girlfriend some genestealers for her birthday, and after examining the sprue we noticed some pieces on 2 of the four sprues that almost ressemble geysers.
Do these serve any purpose? The only thing I could think of was perhaps placing them on a ripper swarm base, as the box only includes two rippers, hardly what I would call a swarm.

objective markers I think...?

They're just little bits of terrain.

I think they're meant for objective markers.

Tau stealth suits and SM terminators both come with something similar.

Ahh, that's what I was going to turn them into, sounds good guys, thank you!

They were markers for scenarios in the previous starter box.

Something like spawn points for the gribblies.

Most people use them for objective markers these days (if they use them at all).

Mine sit forgotten and unused in a bits box.

I've seen them used as the basis for some very nice 'scenic' bases covered in alien gribblyness, can look great under a monstrous creature.

Now I'm curious: how do they look like?
