THE BROOD

In the murky swamps of the south the Brood Mere has spent centuries watching the development of her
children. Now they find themselves at war, drawn into a conflict she has long planned but could never
prepare for: The Creator Gods have returned, and they have come to bring death to her offspring. Already
the Forked-Tongue River is choked with the corpses of her children and the Creator Gods a like, and yet
it there seems to be no end to the waves of invaders pouring in from the north. Ever planning, however,
the Brood Mere readies her children to cross into the Greenbelt in force- to strike against the heart of the
adversaries that would destroy them.
She has seen the face of her gods and with her children she has renounced them. The Creator Gods seek
only their death, and so they shall return the threat in kind.

SPECIAL RULES
CELLULAR ADAPTABILITY
Effects and abilities may never prevent Brood
models from healing HP via the Regenerate special
ability. (Example: The Cauterize weapon ability has
no effect on Brood models).
BIO-GENS
Some Brood models can take Bio-Gens, powerful
genetic modifications granted to them by the
Broodmere. Bio-Gens are selected after list creation
but before deployment.
Unless specifically noted otherwise, each Bio-Gen
has an availability of [1][500].

BROODSPAWNS
When building a Brood force you may select a
Broodspawn. Selecting a Broodspawn limits your
model selection to the models listed under that
Broodspawn, but grants additional benefits unique to
that force.
