	Sporocyst has a relatively decent statline of WS 5_+, BS 5+, S 5(4,3), T 6, W 12, I 3, A D6(D3,1), Ld 7, Sv 4+. Of course its low weapons skill and ballistic skill makes it a poor unit in combat, so it is best to support it with other units. Because of the short range of their Spore Nodes (9") and their ability to gain synapse, they're best deployed near objectives where your opponent will want to go, both to give you extra synapse near the objective, but also so it can lob spores at things.

	Interesting to note: The rules as written give the Sporocyst the Synapse ability AND keyword when it is within 12" of a creature with the Synapse keyword. So placing two Sporocysts within 12" of each other can keep each other's synapse ability going indefinitely (until one of them dies) once 'activated' by a single synapse creature walking within range.
