Poor pyrovore, it doesnt seem like anyone likes them. Does anyone own or use a pyrovore? Because i have never seen anyone buying or owning one.

I have one, but I plan on using it as a biovore.

I would never buy one, unless I wanted to do a conversion.

What is the difference between option 1; Yes [I own a pyrovore] and option 2; Yes, I own [a pyrovore]?

Pyrovore was NEVER where anything was at... sadly...

I know somebody who tried it once. It died in single combat to a lone bloodletter. It was funny

The one place where the pyrovore is at is in the figure case...

Or in the bin... (trash )

I own one. If I ever use it, then as a Biovore.

I own two.
But only because I like the model, and think the normal biovore model is awful.

It looks like male genitalia.

I don't play tyranids but would someone explain what a pyrovore does and what makes it so bad? Just curious, I've never seen anyone use one.

I think it is basically a expensive heavy flamer that has trouble getting within template range.
.

i have only seen one guy use one. But other then that no i don't have one. My biggest Nids are trygons and mawlocs

It is suppost to be a close quarters monster, but have only 1 strength 3 attack at I1. Also, as ben sime once said, "anyone who uses pyrovores abviously hasent read the section on hive gaurd" which it true, they take up your elite slots which zoan's or hive gaurd would be a better option. The model also looks...bad.

I think the model looks better than the Biovore, but I agree with 'Ben Sime' on this one

I think that is kind of supposed to be the point.

^lol

What is a pyrovore

a 45 point heavy flamer that is an elite slot ( argubly most important slot for nids because lack of AV )

Do you think if the Pyrovore was a monsterous creature, it would be better? Say bump up its points to like 55, and give it str 6, and 2 wounds?

Pyrovore already has two wounds. Even as a Monstrous creature it would be subject to Instant Death. It's still taking up an Elite slot you need for something else.

While MCs are always good, I don't think a Monstrous Pyrovore would be preferable to Hive Guards or Zoanthropes.

I like the model, but don't like using it.

That's quite a package
