Hi all,

I am intending to make a diorama of the hive fleet Kraken invasion of Craftworld Iyanden. So I bought some box sets to get started. With the box set of Tyranids, I've got a squad of genestealers. Would they be out of place in this battle? I don't want to paint them up and go through the effort of doing wraithbone terrain bases if a purist is going to be like "...why are there genestealers here?" What do you think?

Stealers are often used as shock troops by the Hive or as (enemy) elite troop killers.
Whilst I cant recall them ever been mentioned specifically during the invasion, its very unlikely Kraken would not have spawned them, especially as they were fighting many elite wraithbone constructs on Iyanden.

So they would fit in fine on your diorama.

Cool deal. I'll start on them next. Thanks!
