Because why not.
Hidden Swarm:
Silent Brood: 
"Belief is a powerful weapon."
It would be a mistake to view the Hive's Acolytes as foot soldiers,
because the Hive is not merely an army, it is a dark force rising. It is
belief and horror, and its Acolytes are its instruments, hungry to
commit the atrocities that will drive their own ascension.
