Editing Flamer (section)

==Tyranid Variations==
The Nids also only have one variation. Although seeing how fire spoils some important genetic materials, it is understandable why they only need one variation. Too bad that one variation has a notoriety for being [[FAIL|terribad]] until 8th ed.
===Flamespurt Cannon===

Used by the [[Pyrovore|Pyrovores]], [[Derp|these Biomorphs are notable for being smarter than the creatures that carry them]].

The Pyrovore is a little more than an ambulatory digestive system installed within a squat and vicious body, containing nothing that does not serve it in sating the Great Devourer’s hunger. Its role within the Tyranid swarms is to find the choicest morsels on the world the Hive Fleet happens to be in the middle of consuming, from living flesh to exotic minerals required by the strange leviathans in orbit above it. 

Basically, the beast ''om nom noms'' the [[Cake|delicious biomass]] and makes it ready for easy digestion. Now, this is where the Flamespurt comes in. As a form of self-defense and/or offensive measure, it presumably uses that same digested matter as fuel to [[/d/|ejaculate out hot, sticky liquid at the opposing foe]]. Although similar, it is unlikely for these flames to be considered a proper Bio-plasma the Tyranids are so fond of – most of their organic platforms that do use that kind of Biomorph are dedicated to fighting whatever that is going to be digested soon enough, while a Pyrovore is more of a platform for gathering resources that is both tough and capable of contributing to the battle if the need arises. Since the Tyranid fleets back in Battlefleet Gothic has a "Pyro-acid Battery" among their arsenal, this Pyro-acid here might just be the refined fuel used by the Flamespurt.

Thanks to 8th edition, they are now basically Heavy Flamer equivalents that are Assault; meaning, you can run and shoot with them on a fairly durable and cheap platform which also packs a decent punch in melee. Nice.
