Otherwise called "The Mines".

*'''Mucolid Spores:''' Not worth taking on their own if you're buying a Sporocyst. They're essentially T4 W3 roadblocks, preventing enemies from starting or ending an advance anywhere within 6" of them. Any enemies who move within 3" of them set them off to explode, dealing d3 MWs on a 2+ and d6 MWs on a 6.
*'''Spore Mines:'''  You're never going to take these on their own, although you can; you'll instead buy the models as ammunition for your Biovores. Nowhere near as durable but more numerous. They can still stop enemies from starting or ending an advance anywhere within 6" of them. However, their explosions are much weaker - a 2+ deals just 1 MW while a 6 does d3, the weakness is offset by their numbers.
