Genestealer Cults Biophagus

In addition to bestowing significant buffs on a nearby Genestealer Cults Aberrant unit, the Biophagus is a formidable melee fighter that makes excellent use of its deadly injector spike. His Alchemicus Familiar can also help him when trying to improve his mutant brethren's fighting prowess, helping to make the hulking spawn in your army even more dangerous.


The Biophagus is a multi-part plastic miniature armed with a holstered autopistol and injector spike, and is accompanied by an Alchemicus Familiar. The set contains 10 components and is supplied with two 25mm round Bases. A Biophagus is a Genestealer hybrid who serves as a medic and biomedical scientist for the Genestealer Cults, specializing in perverse genetic engineering and bio-alchemy using Tyranid DNA. Your main task is to find new ways to spread the curse of the Genestealers and adapt it to the needs of The Cult.

Masters of genetic engineering and bioalchemy, the Biophagus is responsible for industrializing the processes of indoctrination and infection for a Genestealer cult. They invent insidious new contaminants that infect their victims with xenos genes, altering their bodies and minds and leaving them vulnerable to The Cult's sinister influence. Biophages can be found posing as medicine specialists in slum hospitals, macro-alchemical distilleries, and medicinal paste factories. Embedded in positions of high authority, they conduct discreet tests on the local populace and conduct their twisted experiments on bendable breeding birds.

It was the biophages of the Twisted Helix cult who first revealed the secrets of extracting Genestealer sprouts from a Purestrain Genestealer. Contaminating medical supplies and food rations with this biomatter, the Helix cultists spread their genetic curse through ingestion and fluid ingestion rather than the original vector of the "Genestealer's Kiss". This knowledge has gradually spread among other cults, gene sects, and hidden cells, and the biophages' sinister experiments continue. These artificially synthesized infection vectors allow a Genestealer cult to spread far and wide.

Imperfection in the synthesized Genestealer germ-seed often results in strange mutations and aberrations in the subject: flesh twists and tears and muscles swell with alien power, even as the unfortunate victim's mental faculties descend into immature anger and hatred. Those affected who are not killed by this slow and torturous transformation emerge as the lumbering colossi known to the cults as Spawn. A Biophagus will maintain a hidden lair for these rag broods in one of their gene sect's holdings, and will continue to experiment new bio-alchemical solutions on them to bring out the latent alien power in their blood. The Injector Goad carried by every Biophagus contains concoctions of the alchemist's own inventions, virulent concoctions of genes that give an aberrant subject temporarily increased strength and speed.

Often marching to war surrounded by a phalanx of Power Hammer-wielding Aberrants, the Biophagus unleash their finest creations, hurling vials of caustic acids and flesh-transforming mutagens that melt their foes into a mutable ooze. Her Injector Goad pumps stimulating chemicals into the blood of her loyal aberrant bodyguards, but can also be used against mortal flesh. Those struck by this weapon who are not carrying the Genestealer curse will be consumed from within by a hyper-adrenaline alien Cocktail.
