If some mad hereteks would get the briliant idea of merging Tyranids DNA with his own or craft Tyranid chitin, claws, limbs, whatever into his body how would you say that this would affect his potential connection with the Hive Mind or the telephatic connection between Genestealers of the same brood?
I'm thinking that splicing with Tyranid DNA or merging brain-matter would suffice but in other regards it would not, yet I thought that I should look for some extra input before making a final call on the topic.
