Gameplan:

Sporocyst mid-backfield, biovores behind them. Stealers move to the front using cover and venomthropes, they're not getting in turn 1. Spore mines from FA, biovore (double shooting stratagem) and sporocysts serve three purposes: use up enemy shooting, deny enemy movement (yay movement precedes shooting), and possibly blow up their key targets with toughness-ignoring mortal wound rolls.







I'm no tournament player, just looking for ideas for how to make this gameplan work.
