The poor old Biovore genus is somewhat underwhelming at present, mainly due to the fact that Pyrovores take up valuable Elite slots, and Biovores take up Heavy Support slots.

So here is my suggestion to make them better.

Rather than being seperate units, they could be upgrades for Termagaunt units. The Termagaunt entry could be revised to include the following:

"The Brood may take up to 3 Biovores OR up to 3 Pyrovores for +45 points a model. These are treated as part of the unit and may not leave it. They may however shoot at a different target to the rest of the brood."

What do you think?

Your suggestion is one that fits better for the Pyrovore than the Biovore - as was discussed and enacted above; what they need, regardless of placement, is alteration into relevancy via OTHER foc slot movements, as well as general 'buffs'.

Biovores in particular need their ap3 back D:

Pyrovores should definitely be upgrades for warrior or termagant units!

I'd love to see bio and pyrovores go to T7 3+ armor W2. Then they would be living emplacement guns.
I'd like to see them as an option to come with fortifications. Spawning pool + 3-6 vores...

I'd also really like to see a Skyfire sporemine of some sort. Fired as normal out of biovore, but explodes at S8 AP- if a flyer/skimmer moves within 1" (no blast).
