Biovore Spore Mines
Biovore can carry 6 spore mines you have purchased. If the Biovore is killed any remaining spore mines are placed on the spot where it died and begin to drift in the next movement phase
Spore Mine Launch
May fire spore mines if it did not move in the movement phase. May not use on Overwatch. 
May launch 1 per turn up to 100".
Pick a point as your target within range. Can be placed anywhere in the Biovore's fire arc, even out of line of sight. Ignore the rule for Choosing a Target as it does not need to target the closest enemy. 
Roll the scatter dice instead of rolling to hit normally. If the Scatter dice shows a HIT result the spore mine drifts D6" away from the target point in the direction of the small arrow. If the Scatter dice shows an arrow the mine deviates 3D6 inches in the direction of the arrow.

If the spore mine lands within 1" of the non-Tyranid model it explodes immediately as detailed above in the description of spore mines. Otherwise the spore mine will drift 2D6" in each Tyranid movement phase
