I have played probably 10 times, and I usually play the Nids. If I am correct the Gaunts are the small annoying things that attack in swarms of 20 or more.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  I have created a few variants using their their customization rules. Death Gaunts made for hand-to-hand combat, Larval Guants which have not mutations at all, and the traditional fast Gaunts and gun toting Gaunts. Please correct me if I am thinking of the correct type here....  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> I am thinking that the stats that you have created are a lot tougher than I would ever consider making them. If you really wanted to make these the "Nids" a longterm enemy I would start with these gaunts as maybe 2-3HD Abberations and then add a level of Psychic Warrior or so. The status that you have posted do not seem to be for a standard Tyranid soldier. It seems to be for more of and elite unit. Perhaps not a Lictor (spelling) or Tyrant Gaurd but something much more important than the sacrificial meat-shield Gaunt.  These stats are probably more appropriate for a Genestealer. I love Gene-Steelers.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> the gaunts are fast and furious, but above all, they are expendable. A 3HD HtH Gaunt (2+1) with special abilities would seriously damage a small village militia with no seasoned leaders. A seasoned leader will make not-so short work with a gaunt, which is why they travel in large numbers. Cut what you have in half - 2 HD (Aberr) + 1 HD (Psy Warrior) and that should be a good place to start. This would give a very low level party quite a scare especially if there are more than one present. ?? Long live the Nids! The Mini's hand book has creatures that have a very strong Nid and "Aliens" feel to them. Just a thought. It has been a few years since I have played!
