Eyestinger Swarm

"NO! NOT THE BEES FLIES! ANYTHING BUT THE BEES FLIES! AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHGHHGH!

Eyestinger Swarms are hordes of flies that have been mutated by the Nurgle Gellerpox plague, which has greatly increased their size and aggressiveness. They are known to fight beside any creature that has also been infected by the Gellerpox plague. They are NOT Daemonic beasts mind you, as they were regular animals that got Chaos'd in the process.

Overview

Whilst no where near that of the more Daemonic Rot Fly, Eyestinger Swarms are still a force to be reckoned with.

Eyestinger Swarms originate from chaos-infected corpses imbued with a tiny portion of warp energy. Fast creatures with sharp proboscis', Eyestinger swarms are extremely difficult targets. Their bite is lethal, able to cause their victims flesh to ripple and ocular organs to burst outwards. Noxious maggots emerge from their bodies within seconds, burrowing their way out to reveal a new brood of Eyestingers.

Crunch

On the Kill Team tabletop, these bastards are the fastest of the little bugs with 10" of movement, and while its attack stat of d3 is unreliable it auto-wounds on a hit roll of 6. Good thing too, since S2 doesn't do it any favors with its wound rolls. Don't be deceived by its 7+ save, +1 to injury rolls taken, and poor toughness: its complete immunity to flesh wounds and -1 hit penalty against all attacks targeting them makes the Eyestinger Swarm surprisingly tough to kill.

In 9th Edition, they are the least dangerous of the lot with negligible damage and miserable WS/BS, but all of their attacks come stacked with Stun. This can make them better distractions than most.
