Default Fleshboring
The fleshborer only goes on gaunts and nothing else, right? Does anyone know if there is a reason for this fluffwise or something?

It does? I thought other genuses of creature could take it too. Atleast they could in previous editions *scampers to find dex*

EDIT: Aye warriors get it too, at a glance i have seen.

They are also standard issue for Gargoyles.

Warriors can take them too, but I have never heard of anyone taking "advantage" of this option.

Fluffwise, I would venture to guess that this is a basic weapon/symbiote that does not go higher than the Warrior strains.

it's because fleshborers aren't that good on anything else than a gaunt/gargoyle.

But why is that? Because Warriors have other options?

All 'Nid guns work off the S and A of the creature wielding them... so surely each one *should* be a suitable biomorph for anything?

Why the hell is biomorph not coming up as a misspelling?!

Crikey! This crazy clown causes commotion like the coming of Christ.

Certainly, still a curious and cordial cavalier in the countenance of crazed cads, curs and creeps who condemn courtesy as something corny. No cloud could collapse his crushing crescendo of comical crowing and crimson coiffure. This conjecture on culture comes circumlocutive, consequently...

You may call me Circus.

The range of Fleshborers is their largest limitation. Deathspitters just fit into such a nice little niche on Warriors.

Quite a while ago we gathered a lit of army and 40k related terms and added them to the spell check feature.

Yes, but I don't use it. I have the same spellcheck that runs on Word etc that underlines mispelled words - it applies on all fora I frequent regardless of whether I have a spellcheck feature.

And biomorph does not get underlined in red.

How bizarre.

The only time I tried fleshborers on warriors was an experimental build for dropping skimmers in 4th: Winged, rending warriors with bioplasma. The idea was to chase them down, shoot and assault, lots of reliable S6 hits with added rending in CC. I decided it was too specialized and not worth it.

Because it's an actual word :P

Biomorphism is an art movement that began in the 20th century.
