I made some Tyranid Mycetic Spores & they're about 3" to 3.5" wide, I heard that they should be at least close to SM drop pods in size and I was wondering if they're about 3" or 5" wide. The owner of the hobby store I play at thought it was 5" but I've been googling it & some say 3", any1 got one handy?

They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear.

There is no base size for either. If you think a carnifex could fit in your pod, then it's a good size.

"From the fires of Betrayal unto the blood of revenge we bring the name of Lorgar, the Bearer of the Word, the favored Son of Chaos, all praise be given to him. From those that would not heed we offer praise to those who do, that they might turn their gaze our way and gift us with the Boon of Pain, to turn the Galaxy red with the blood, and feed the hunger of the Gods."

-Excerpt from the Three Hundred and Forty-First

Book of Epistles of Lorgar

mines about .5" wider than a carnifex and about 1" taller, so I think I'm good then.

i'd be fine with using the normal monstrous creature base (60mm). they're not described as super bulky like the mawloc or trygon and they can only fit one carni (and if nature is any inspiration, it'd be a snug coccoon fit) so the carni/tyrant base is best IMHO. i say go with the 60mm one.
