Mycetic Spore - Armament: A Mycetic Spore is a drop transport capable of carrying either 20 smaller Tyranid organisms, such as Termagants, Hormagaunts and Genestealers, three Tyranid Warriors, or a single Carnifex. All Mycetic Spores are protected by a hardened carapace and are each armed with these weapons as standard:Ripper Tentacles - Ripper Tentacles are thick ropes of tendon and corded muscle that can reach out from a Mycetic Spore in search of prey. Drawn by movement, Ripper Tentacles can smash apart foes on a single swipe, coil around a single victim and crush it to a bloody pulp, or clutch around its quarry and drag it into the spore’s fanged maw.Lash Whip - The tentacles of a Lash Whip are living cords of muscle and sinew that move of their own accord. These tendrils writhe and slash at their prey, striking too quickly to dodge or parry, snaking around an opponent's defences to strangle and ensnare those that are not sliced apart by the bony hooks at the tip of each tentacle.A Mycetic Spore can also be armed with one of the following ranged weapons:Cluster Spines - Some of the largest Tyranid bioforms, such as Mycetic Spores, have rows of quills imbedded in their carapaces that they can project a considerable distance. These spines are hollow tubes made of a brittle, chitin-like material that explodes upon impact; shattering into thousands of shards. Fired in densely packed groups, these spines saturate large areas with needle-sized slivers, cutting down any troops unfortunate enough to be caught in the blast.Stinger Salvo - Stinger salvos are simple but effective weapons that fire rows of metre-long, razor-sharp spikes that are often embedded within the carapaces of the largest Tyranid creatures. These spines are typically envenomed and are fired by the Tyranids through powerful muscular contractions; spraying the target with a shower of spines that can skewer enemy infantry with devastating effectiveness.Twin-linked Devourers – A Devourer is a conical lump of partly rotted flesh infested by writhing worm-like parasites with black, shiny heads. When this horrific weapon is triggered, a bioelectric jolt hurls a shower of these creatures at a target that immediately start burrowing into their victim's flesh. A creature infested with these parasites is driven mad with agony as they rapidly eat their way through its central nervous system to the brain.Barbed Strangler – A Barbed Strangler fires a seed pod the size of a man's fist, channelled from a bloated sac by a thick feeder arm into a simple launcher that is little more than a muscled tube. Upon firing, the strangler seed-pod grows to maturity in seconds, spreading out in all directions with blinding speed, sending out hooked tendrils to bind and tear at its prey. Should the seed pierce flesh before reaching maturity, the unfortunate victim is ripped apart in an explosion of gore as sinuous tentacles burst out from within their own body.Venom Cannon – A Venom Cannon is a long, powerful bioweapon that fires salvos of highly corrosive crystals coated with a metallic, venomous residue. The weapon fires these projectiles at tremendous velocities using an electrostatic charge. A target struck that is not killed outright by the impact will be shredded by a hail of shards as the crystals shatter. Even vehicle armour can be punctured by these shards, although the lack of an explosive impact considerably reduces the damage inflicted.
