Nurgly Tyranids

The Nurgly Tyranids are a group of strangely mutated Tyranids, first appearing in The Tyrus Incident.

Desciption:
They are a plague-ridden, hideously deformed grouping of Tyranids. Their skin oozes pus and disease, and they spread contagion wherever they tread. From the lowliest Hormagaunt to the massive Haruspex, all are infested with some strange sickness.

Origin:
The Magos of the Genestealer Cult on Tyrus suggests that Nurgle himself caused part of the Tyranid Nest to (d?)evolve. It is unknown whether this occured before the Tyranids arrived on Tyrus or after.

Tactics:
Rather than possess any form of strategy or tactics, these corrupted Tyranids seem perfectly content to Om-Nom-Nom everything. This inadvertedly forced the "Pure" Tyranids and their Genestealer allies to move their plans ahead of schedule.
