Editing Biovore (section)

==On the Tabletop==
With the advent of 8th Edition Biovores got really good. Being quite cheap (2 Power/36 points each - 50 points since the Chapter Approved...) their [[Spore Mine Launcher]]s have been buffed immensely. After you hit a target with a 48" Heavy 1 weapon you roll an additional time: on a 2-5 you deal 1 Mortal Wound, on a 6 you deal D3 Mortal Wounds and on a 1 it fails to do any damage. Mass Biovore fire is now capable of taking down just about anything, hampered only by their BS 4+, their weapon being Heavy and that without Synapse it can only fire at the unit closest to it or suffer a to-hit penalty. The latter can actually be a boon: Missing a lot of biovore shots will allow you to erect a chain of sporemines in front of your opponent's units. And since you are not allowed to move within 1" of your opponent during regular movement, if you leave less than 3" between your mines, ''[[Troll|your opponent will be unable to move past said wall during his turn!]]'' Remember to move your biovores before shooting to gain that extra -1 to hit.
