1 Metamorph Leader, 4-9 Hybrid Metamorphs
Triggered by the approach of a hive fleet or a sudden trauma to the cult, Hybrid Metamorphs mutate from early generations of the brood cycle. Dormant gene-codes burst to life, bestowing weaponised limbs, ghastly bio-acidic glands and other so-called blessings upon these creatures, transforming them into devastating shock troops.
Standard kit: The Metamorph Leader is equipped with: autopistol; Leader’s bio-weapons.
Every Hybrid Metamorph is equipped with: autopistol; Metamorph mutations.

Abilities
Brood Surge
Each time an enemy unit is selected to shoot, after that unit has shot, if any models from this unit were destroyed as a result of those attacks, this unit can make a Brood Surge move. To do so, roll one D6: this unit can be moved a number of inches up to the result, but it must end that move as close as possible to the closest enemy unit (excluding AIRCRAFT). When doing so, those models can be moved within Engagement Range of that enemy unit.
If, at the start of the battle, no model in this unit is equipped with a hand flamer, each time this unit makes a Brood Surge move, it can be moved up to 6" instead of up to D6". A unit cannot make a Brood Surge move while it is Battle-shocked.
