  I usually try to use them as regular artillery and not so much of a
disruption. When I first started playing, I couldn't wait to get some of
them. I thought about all of the disruption that the spore mines would
cause while drifting around my opponent's back lines. What seems to
happen though, is that I desperately hope that they'll either hit
something right off the bat or drift into something and then hope that
the few blast points that each one carries is enough to give me an actual
hit. It might be different if I played against other opponents, but up
until now I've been playing against Space Marines, Chaos, and just
tonight, Eldar. Maybe they would be more useful against Orks or Imperial
Guard?
What's been your experience?
Later,
Rich
