I just bought my first box of genestealers, and there were six weird pieces in it. Four of them were weird infestation looking things, and two looked kinda like rippers. Anyone know what they are?

They'd be terrain, and rippers with Spinefists respectively.

The little infestation markers were used in Battle for Macragge. Most people base them up as objective markers.

And yes, you get a couple of rippers in there as well.

One more question. What are the extra heads and little nubby things on the shoulder pad sheets used for?

There were a variety of head bio-morphs and an extended carapace option in the last codex. Now the parts have no mechanical meaning, so do what you think looks cool.

Not quite true. The tentacled heads and extra carapace are used now for Ymgarl Genestealers, and the acid maw head can be used for toxin sacs. But the other special heads are pretty useless.
