Tyranids used to have Expectorator, which was a bigger version of Biovore (ER perhaps). FV ... I don't know. Should need to see the book and stats.

ER is their largest gun. Its a monstrous thing.

VF on the other hand is their smallest walker.

PS. I found Epic Tyranid list v5.4 (2005) where its said:
Expectorator: (A VERY large Biovore! Use a 28mm 40k Biovore as a proxy for this model for the time being.)

Well done Nicodemus! That fits beautifully.

I have the lists from the beta test and am just waiting for permission to post the comparison lists.

I have cobbled together a greasemonkey script for the eldritch list as a start.
This replaces the original FWC names for eldar units with the more familiar version whilst not causing the site host to breach IP/copyright issues.
It would only be a couple of hours work to do it for all the armies listed in the comparison list.

Obviously you need to be viewing the battlegroups using firefox first!

Let me know if there is any interest.
