Spore bombs.... I'm liking the spore bombs. :)

A Harridan with a massive dorsal cannon or something...

Spore mine bomber variant harridans and vituperators (as well as other variants).  I was planning on building some as a fanatic article (along with tyrant and carnifex variants).

Vituperator.  range 15cm fixed rear arc (I never liked how maruder bombers lofted their bombs) 2BPs disrupt.

I would quess it makes the playing easier. Besides rear arc "spore bombs" on flying creature sounds dubious :;):.

It is quite easy, you fly over a formation and drop the spore mines, fly on a bit the the spores hit the ground, thus land behind the flyer.

And I refuse to et started on the harridan poop sernario again.  :D

idea....forming....concept sketchy....HULK SMASH!!!  :D

regardless, digest this,

Harridan
Type / Speed / Armour / Close Combat / Firefight
War Engine, Bomber / Aircraft / 5+ / 4+ / 5+
Weapon / Range / Firepower / Notes
Bio-Cannon / 45cm / 2x AP 3+/AT 4+/AA 5+ / Ignore Cover
Spore cloud / Special / Special / Disrupt, Fixed Rear Arc
Bio-Titan Talons / (base contact) / (assault weapons) / Macro-Weapon, Titan Killer (1), Extra Attacks (+1)
Notes: DC (3), Reinforced Armour, Skimmer, Fearless, Synapse (1d3+1), Transport (4); May carry four units of Gargoyles.
Special: Spore Cloud - the Harridan leaves a cloud of toxic bio-mass in its wake. To represent this effect during a ground attack place three blast templates, without overlapping, in a straight line along the Harridan's approach path with the first template touching the Harridan's flight stand, after making its approach move. Any non-Tyranid units affected by the first template suffer a 3 BP attack, if affected by the second they suffer a 2 BP attack and if affected by the third template they suffer a 1 BP attack. All Tyranid units are also subject to being hit by the impact of the bio-mass, but not it?s toxic effects and count as if in cover when rolling to hit.    
Critical Hit: Roll 1d6 and consult the chart below.
1-5: The Harridan suffers one additional point of damage.
6: The Harridan is killed outright.
Note: If the Harridan is killed by a Critical Hit all transported units are killed.

Maybe give this effect to the Vituraptor, as Harridans do not have this ability.

I think it is too fiddly a rule for a standard list.  For sernarios or a fanatic article it would work well.

not the best of ideas....agreed, sort of an adaptation of their Space Marine abilities which were way fiddly!

it was something, not a lot, but that's how you find the good ideas, lots and lots of dustbin.  :;):
