I'd vote for a Lictor or Genestealer myself. Lictors have a sort of active camo and Genestealers could literally be anyone you meet until you get to the purestrain, in which case you may as well shoot yourself right then.

There's that new breed of Lictor from Warrior Brood that burrows through rock - you don't even see it until you've got a talon through you.

Thats C.S. Goto right? I haven't read any of his work yet, I actually try and avoid Nid heavy books, there's only so many alien wave attacks I can take without getting bored.

Yeah, it was Goto, and it was awful. Warrior Coven is better, esp. if you like either the Deathwatch or the Eldar.

I've lost track of how many times people have said his work is garbage, so much so that I won't take a chance on them. It's even on the BL forums.

I couldn't have agreed more after reading Warrior Brood, but 'Coven was an improvement - although still not up to the level of Counter or Abnett.

I wouldn't consider running into a Borg Drone all that terrifying. I mean, by the time it waddles up to you, you could be long gone. I don't really find it that scary myself when it gets outpaced by turtles.

Evil turtles?

Very evil turtles. With glowing red eyes. That breath fire.

Ah yes. We have those a few minutes south of me... near the waste-water port of Oyster Creek Power Plant...

The scary thing about those turtles is they are endangered so you cant fight back...
