  Lictor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lictor, derived from the Latin ligare (to bind), was a member of a special class of Roman civil servant, with special tasks of attending magistrates of the Roman Republic and Empire who held imperium.
Lictors were exempted from military service, received a fixed salary (of 600 sesterces, in the beginning of the Empire), and were organized in a corporation.

After the fall of the Roman monarchy, the lictor and his fasces were the symbols of those magistrates that held imperium, which means that they had the right to command and interpret the flight of the birds.
A consul was escorted by twelve lictors and a praetor by six.

Their number and assignment changed over time, but not their responsibilities: they preceded designated magistrates in a single file (the first was the primus, the last was the proximus); they announced the magistrate and cleared the way for him; and they implemented the magistrate's right of arrest and punishment.
Until the second century CE, when freedmen were admitted to the membership, lictors were required to be freeborn citizens, usually from the lower classes.
Lictors without fasces accompanied the flamen dialis, the vestals, and the magistri vicorum; similarly outfitted were the 30 lictores curiati, who called the curiae to vote in the comitia curiata.

The Lictors Guild is based in Mandros, a moderate sized city on the southwestern edge of the continent, far away from any other civilized areas, a remote and secluded area for the Lictors to learn thier gruesome art.
The theory behind this is that the neutered one, upon reaching the level of Lictor, will be unable to be swayed in his or her judgements by thier carnal instincts.
Lictors who are not assigned to a city are kept at Mandros as instructors until a position becomes available.

And all of that is fine, but it doesn't address why you never see Lictors in current 'nid armies: They're a freaking 80 point HTH-only model that, if it assaults a group of tac marines, kills one or two units on the assault and is promptly killed by the squad on their Initiative.
Inmy opinion, Lictors are primarily a way to mess with your opponents mind, rather than a viable combat unit.

The thin cup of dry twigs and stems was 1.4 meters up in the twigs of a bush over an inlet of Gatun Lake, separated from second growth nearby by a marshy fringe.
None are so confined to the edges of quiet inlets as is P. lictor, and none forage low over the surface of the water from overhanging branches, sedges, or stubs projecting from the water as does the Lesser Kiskadee.
Hence Haverschmidt and the Penards are quite correct in reporting that P. lictor builds an open nest, thus differing from the only other member of the genus.

Seems to me, seeing what a Lictor essentially is, and what its supposed to do, that you should just pick the piece of terrain its in.
The nature of the Lictor would be to sneak and stay hidden and travel through that bit of terrain looking for its chance to strike.
I favor the side of the Lictor when playing a game, 'X' doesn't necessarily mark the spot of where they are, just the piece of terrain they are lurking in.

We've all heard tales of players who spend the whole game freaking out about where the Lictor is hidden, shying their units away from patches of cover, and generally making it really really fun to field a Lictor no matter what its stats are like.
Since their position is indeterminite until they arrive, there's no way at all to know where they will appear (other than in some cover) until they arrive.
As far as Impassible terrain goes, Lictors have Flesh hooks standard, so they treat Impassible as Difficult and hence can DS into terrain were enemy troops can't be.
