**Darkness**

We all understand Tau Drones are free KPs on vehicles. What about Nid Spore mines shot out of biovores? Or out of a Fex?

**coredump**

If the biovore hits, then no.

If the biovore misses, it creates a unit, which if destroyed, would yield a KP

**Black Blow Fly**

Chaos spawn generated via GoC.

Squig generated by Zoggwort.

What about daemons that come back due to sustained assault?

Scarabs created by Tomb Spyders.

**Black Blow Fly**

haunts that come back due to unending numbers?

G

**Aduro**

Scarabs created by Tomb Spiders are not worth KPs because they form a unit WITH the Tomb Spider.

**NaZ**

for ard boyz they ruled that units that create other units..

i.e. biovores, kulgath, etc.. those units are NOT worth kill points.

**padixon**

Yea, but the ard boyz tourney also ruled some pretty f'ed up things too.

Plus, any tourney rules are just that, tourney rules for only that tourney.

Technically, until there is a 5th ed rule book FAQ that covers this subject they are by RAW 'free' KP. You will have to discuss this with your opponent which I do on a number of subjects (i.e. lictors, free KP, stupid drop pods that can't shoot when they land, etc...). Or, follow whatever tournament rules you are playing like NaZ pointed out.

**SlaveToDorkness**

wait...what about Drop Pods not being able to fire when the DS?!

**Cheex**

All vehicles that enter play via Deep Strike count as moving at Cruising Speed (rulebook, p95).

Also a pretty fun way to mess up Necron players who DS their Monolith

**SlaveToDorkness**

Ah, cool. Missed that one! Although denying the Storm Bolter for a turn isn't all that great...

**youbedead**

the monolith can fire the ordinance regardless of distance moved.

Youbedead,
Could you post the quote from the codex or FAQ?

That is awesome, I mean they must have been sitting up all night trying to find one more way to nerf Biovores:

Lets see, Ld 5...Check
No longer independant...Check
Small Blast Template...Check
One shot barrage...Check
Brood mentality so they can't lurk...Check
....
....
Oh, I know lets make it so that they poop KP when they miss

**Black Blow Fly**

If you deep strike a landraider it can still shoot.

G

**youbedead**

"the monolith may use it power matrix regardless of distance moved"

so you can fire the particle whip but not the flux arc

**Aduro**

It's probably a risk to question your quote since my codex is in my car and I'm too lazy to go get it in the rain... But I think it more along the lines of "even if it moved" with no mention of distance. It's a reference to the good old days when you were not allowed to fire any Ordinance weapons if you moved any amount at all. It had been used as a reasoning to fire the Particle Whip on Deep Strike regardless however.
