Mycetic Spore
 This page is in need of cleanup. Srsly. It's a fucking mess. |

Tyranid Drop pods. That can carry Carnifexes. Just think about that for a second. Deepstriking Carnifexes. That's awesome right? Well apparently Games Workshop didn't think so, because they removed the Mycetic spores from the new codex (or as it shall henceforth be known Nerf and the world Nerfs with you) it is unknown why GW chose to do this, or indeed why they chose to do any of this. Probably because they're incompetent cocksections.
The Chapter House Fiasco
Before 4th edition at the earliest, there was a company called Chapter House, who was responsible for making a whole ton of supplementary 40K stuff that GW was too fucking lazy to provide, like conversion kits for Tervigons, shoulder pads for SPEHSS MEHRENS, and these babies. GeeDubs, being the greedy fucktards they are, got jealous that someone was trying to actually make things without having to go to to them for even more wallet milking. To this end, they decided to sue Chapter House for copying things they made.
In a shocking turn of events, Chapter House actually won the lawsuit, as GW was trying to sue for things they never made, and thus owed no rights to.
For a while, they just let sleeping dogs lie, being unable to actually sue for things they never made, and being too lazy to try making their own spore pods. However, 6th edition finally rang the death knell for the pods, now removed from the Tyranid Codex. And with it went the ability to actually get Zoanthropes anywhere reliably and the aforementioned Fex-Striking.
