Default The Mycetic Spore

My thoughts were that is would take roughly the same size and shape as a Drop pod and cost the same. though these things can be enormous as well. How would you use them?

And model them for that matter?

mycetic spores are what tyranids use to attack planets. they dont have any landing vehicles or anything, everything tyranid on the planet comes down in one of these. even bio-titans!
i searched forge world and they do not have a model for these, but IA4, which i dont have, might have rules for them.
here is a picture of roughly what they look like, though in my mind they arent nearly as fat, much longer, and would have little ganglia things on the back end. just for laughs

if they did have rules and such for these, you would probrobly use them much like a drop pod, as you said. probrobly drop a slow moving, but heavy hitting, unit close to enemy lines. like a carnifex.

I've been trying to either find some Mycetic Spoors online for a decent price for quite a while.
Really want something that looks similar to the spore towers from Forgeworld...those have a real sickly, organic look.
I usually play as a seeding swarm and really want to have a bunch of these to leave on the field for cover as the brood come into play.
What about the Legg egg (minus the pantyhose) for a base size?
hmmm, i think i have a new project now...

Not quite sure...the old carnifex would fit in and egg, not sure about the new fexes though...I think a pre-dawn panty raid might be in order...
