Blood spawn work on tanks, but not on archons? How the hell is a tank a bio unit, but a 12 foot tall burning zealot not?
When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.

The eggs are planted within the tanks, the broodlings crawl out, kill the machine, and it explodes.

The archon will kill the broodlings with it's pure radiating energy from inside : )

Ok I don't know why
All you have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to you

Because the archon is a unit of immense power and as such is imune to such trivial events such as a egg like creature trying to spawn in its body. Or it might be because it lacks any real physical form?

The "egg" hosting the broodling is drenched in a liquid capable of penetrating the thick terran machine plating

The tank even though not an organism, has a driver (whos human = organic) inside that can be turn into broodlings.

On the other hand, archon is made by strong energy (not organic);therefore, it can't be "egged" hehe
That is many medic, yes?
