Hey All~

I vaguely remember reading something in the rulebook or FAQ about fliers and bombing runs, and cannot for the life of me find it again, but do Harpies count as having fired one weapon when they perform a Spore Mine Cyst drop? This kind of bugs me because I want to know if I can perform a Swoop/Vector Strike/Spore Mine Drop/Shooting attack in a single turn legally.

Still, the Tyranid FAQ does not cover the Harpy's Spore Mine Cysts... hehe.

The spore mine cysts occur in the moving phase after you move. (pg43 nid dex) Finish all of your armies movement and then the harpy can fire twice because he is a Monsterous creature.
Also remember that a Monsterous creature has a 360 degree firing when swooping for some additional fun.
