I propose the shorthand for these guys be Invaders as there are far too many Genestealers and IG means Imperial Guard to anyone who has been into 40k for any length of time.

Genevaders it is.

I can live with that.  :P

Hi all and sorry for my little question.....

 

...if I deploy it and target  -1HP an enemy unit with only 1 HP (reducing it to 0 HP), is the enemy unit immediately destroyed? 

 

Thx in advance for all your replys

Yes, any unit reduced to 0 or fewer HP is immediately destroyed. Note that due to this not being damage dealt, your opponent will be unable shield their unit either. Hope that helps!

A quick question:

It says on this card "Until the end of phase". 

 

So when deployment phase ends and we now go into the battle phase, this Invasive Genestealer's HP drops back down to 3 instead of 4, correct?

Yes, unless you used the Warlord ability to ambush it during the Combat phase. Then, it's health lasts til after all battles are done.
