  Biovore's only have a range of 45. Doesn't matter that much; saying you will just blast
away at the biovore detat is a lot easier than doing it. Any good opponent can hold off a
concerted assault against one detachment for a turn, and 1 turn is enough to end the game
three turns later. Longer range artillery is your best chance, and the cost of those peices
is at least double that of the biovore. I use those 5 biovore detats game after game, and
they almost never get shut down or destroyed. With lots of those smaller detats, it's easy
to keep units spread out to only give one fp per BM.

I haven't fought eldar in the new system, so I can't comment on them.
