Back on ye olde forum There was an idea to allow genestealer broods to take a broodlord as an upgrade. Are people still interested in this idea.
I was thinking of having it give commander and +1CC MW and maybe teleport, For about 50/75pts.
Any thoughts?

DEfinatly one per brood, since they are partiarch genotype creatures.
I gave it commander since many seem to have feeder tenticles, but you are right. A multiply stealer assault would be sick.
Teleport, since it and its brood have normalt already been on the planet for a while, thus not in the battleline.
But inspiring is a good idea. I never thought of it since I can't see 'nids being inspiring. Thereagain a simple not saying it isn't inspiring its troops but demoralising the enemy.

Definitely like the idea,
Inspiring and +1CCMW would suit me.
Commander - no, to abusable
Teleport - maybe, but I'm far from convinced at the moment.

I don't see anything that says you can't mix indi and broods together, just rules on how swarms are created and maintained. There may be an unwritten assumption in there, but I don't see any rule on it. And does it have to be an upgrade instead of a free-standing model? It has Synapse in the 40k world, just don't see why it wouldn't here. A conduit to the hivemind is a conduit to the hivemind no matter what scale you're on.... just my 2 cents.

I'll agree with the other sentiments then, that it needs to be added. Unless you're a regular on these boards (which I'm a semi-regular, full time lurker  ) you would go by what it says in the armylist that it doesn't say that they can't be combined...
I still stand by that somehow the Broodlord should be a synapse creature, its one of his key abilities in 40k...

I was planning it as a character upgrade. rather than an extra stand. As for it being synapse that was another reason behind me giving it commander. I see its roll on a 40K battle field as leading its brood (brothers) and just so happens to be on the same wave length as the gaunts around it, thus directing them as well.

I think I agree with Ragnar, a character upgrade with an extra MW attack, Inspiring and maybe Commander.
I'm not too sure Commander is overpowered. You've already got hive tyrants. Perhaps Commander could only apply to other stealer broods?
I'm not too hot on teleport - they've got scouts and infiltrate already.
How about some ability to respawn stealers? Represent more stealers boiling out from everywhere...
