 I have only found the Biovores to be useful if you take several of
them. Most artillery units are OK in single units, while Biovores seem to
need to be in three's or so.

 However, if you are fighting one of the Mass unit armies like Imp. Guard
or Orks they work fine in any quantity. They are too inaccurate when they
drop, and those pods that don't detonate at first can be easily avoided.
