>>44424899Technically the most recent depiction of the hrud is the 6th edition rulebook, and it is obviously a hooded ratman, which may mean that the spindly time warping hrud is retconned or that both are actually hrud, maybe it's an allied race or a specialized unit.
After all according to xenology it's not possible to exactly get how one of those spindly hrud look like because great part of the body boils and melts at death.
I'm of the opinion both versions could work together in an hypothetical developed faction, after all the idea of a race of scavengers with stuff that accelerates the rate of decaying to gnaw and erode everything faster fits, just need some tweaks here and there to make the spindly ones look a result of something rather than their natural state and you're set (maybe a deeps-diver like power suit with various unnatural growths or some mix of biomechanical surgical and warp powered abomination, or both)
