Games Workshop, in its infinite wisdom, has decided not to release a Mycetic Spore model along with the new Tyranid codex despite obviously strong demand. The option to take this model as a delivery system is a no-brainer for certain units and represents a game-changing options for an army that has not traditionally been able to make good use of reserves. As such, not having an official model to represent the unit poses a problem.

Fortunately, Black Matt over at the Black Legion Blog provides a cheap and effective custom Mycetic Spore model. Standing 5.5″ tall, these models are approximately the same dimensions as the Space Marine drop pod. Each is hand-made and textured and, as I can attest to personally, looks great in person.
