Editing Pyrovore (section)

==How Bad Is it?==
[[File:Sad_Pyrovore.png|300px|thumb|left|If only they worked this way...]]
5th Pyrovores are '''worse''' than Old One Eye, a [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX]] special character in a codex that '''hates''' DISTRACTION CARNIFEXES, who is renowned for costing MORE than a [[Land Raider]] and dying to a stiff breeze... but at least he has a general idea of what the fuck he's supposed to be doing and would be tolerable if he was cheaper.

Pyrovores are '''worse''' than [[Chaos Spawn|Chaos Sp... uh, that one Chaos unit that was terrible in 5th ed]]... but they got a proper [[Phil Kelly]]-granted buff in the newest Chaos Space Marine codex, and before that they could occasionally win assaults in large area terrain.

Pyrovores are '''worse''' than [[Mandrake]]s, the worst infiltrators in the game... yet at least Mandrakes have better fluff (thanks again, Kelly) and don't need a pain token to shoot anymore. They also traded a 5+ invul for Stealth and Shrouded in 7th; 8th made them truly great.

Pyrovores are '''worse''' than [[Flayed Ones]], who are weak "assault specialists"... though they had cool, grimdark fluff and passable crunch prior to the 5th edition Necron codex, they don't harm their side when they die and there's a chance that they can come back via Reanimation Protocols and be used to contest objectives or support assaults. The 7th edition codex added Shred, AP5 in CC, and fear combined with a significant decrease in points; 8th gave them a shit-ton of attacks so they've been viable for a bit, though 8th edition is also the first time Necrons as a whole aren't overpowered, which may make Flayers look better or worse than they actually are, depending on who you ask.

Pyrovores are [[EPIC FAIL|'''worse''']] than [[Tau|Fire Warriors]] in melee, who are unceremoniously chopped up in seconds... but at least that's funny, things have gone ''wrong'' when squads assault Firewarriors, they can do that [[Warhammer 40,000 6th edition|"Overwatch + Markerlights + other squads nearby can Overwatch for them + Markerlights"]], and can kill Land Raiders in melee with EMP Grenades.

Pyrovores are so bad that fluff writers try to forget that they even exist. In fact they appear only in one BL book ([[Ciaphas Cain|The Last Ditch]]) and they are as terrible there as on tabletop. Cain actually obliterates majority of incoming tyranid horde by shooting a few pyrovores, [[Fail|the resulting explosion wiping out most of the tyranid attack, including the Hive Tyrant and its guards]]. They're even being mocked by in-universe characters as terrible; which we choose to take as further proof of Sandy Mitchell's awesomeness by taking the now memetic godawfulness of the Pyrovore and making it ''canon.''

Pyrovores are so terrible that why they are even a thing remains a point of debate because holy shit, who in their right mind would think that this... this... thing... was a good idea? It serves no conceivable purpose, and there are much better platforms for a flamethrower in the Tyranid bestiary than the body of a fuel refinery that would otherwise be an unstatted noncombatant. I mean fuck, there's even one in the same motherfucking Codex, all you'd need to do for the Tyrannofex is light its acid spray on fire and then BAM! You have a flamer on a non-shitty platform. Or Warriors or something, because they're basically crapsack Terminators and Terminators get a Heavy Flamer! Or just anything!

Hey wait a minute... Come to think of it, what the hell would a civilization where every imaginable device is a living organism in it's own right need a "fuel refinery" for? Isn't "refining fuel" already a part of the digestion process? Are other morphs just unable to properly digest their own food for some reason? Does this thing Shit out the 'nid equivalent of baby formula?

They look almost identical to Biovores (a unit that is a cheap source of assault pie plates that can also be used as a barrage, and has one of the derpiest faces around), but they have a much newer, much less [[derp]]y model (although their gun does look strangely like an [[Slipshine|erect throbbing penis]]). As such, pretty much everybody buys the Pyrovore models and uses them as Biovore. But this has the possible side effect of convincing GW that the Pyrovore is actually good...

Also they make for great [http://www.wobblymodelsyndrome.com/comic-166.html new years eve fireworks.]
