I still choose to believe that more "feral" geneatealers can mutate hosts directly into genestealers.

Why?

Feral genestealers makes no sense in any case, since they're designed to work in deep infil with no support - they do
n't go feral because of brood telepathy and inherent individuality.

I see broods run by q broodlord to be broodlord +people he turned in to genestealers+ people they turned into genestealers and so forth and so forth.

How do you fit this together with the whole "four stages of the Genestealer reproductive cycle" that is established cannon though? I mean, if a Genestealer sneaks into a hive city and infects a couple of peasants, the goal is for those peasants to secure a place for the Genestealer to be safe, then to start having babies which spread the cult. One of the main reasons it is so successful is the fact that a sizable portion of the various generations of offspring will be almost totally indistinguishable from the regular citizens. Much harder to infiltrate a civilization and take over a government if you all look like Tyranids...

Easy, they can also enthrall people. In twilight (no I have not read the books but my sister goes
On and on) if you are injected with vampire venom you are
Paralyzed, if you are kept alive after that you turn into a vampire, same thing alloys here, if you are just touched by a 'stealer you are enthralled and take on a small amount of DNA (slight discolourqtion of the skin etc.if you are tongue raped you turn into one over the course of several weeks.

Venom enthrallment? Wow, that's lame.

Whatever happened to the old hypnotic gaze?

Haha I can picture it now, "Brother, why have you stopped?" "There is a foul xenos inside of my chest" POP, hits inside of armor and can't get out.

I doubt it'd even get through the Marine's fused rib cage! It'd likely liquefy his innards.

Eurrrrgh.

I imagine it something like when Superman had one in him: It beats itself against his rib cage until it dies.

Wait has that happend? and were can I read about it? xD
