Hmm.

Mycetic Spores are a kind of Infantry.

You can take six of them as part of a Troops choice, just like a transport.

The Codex and FAQ say nothing about them not being scoring units.

Not that a unit combining the endurance of a Tyranid Warrior with the visibility of a Carnifex is going to be much of a camper, but I am reading it right that a Gaunt, Genestealer or Warrior unit's Spod is scoring, yeah?

They're a Monstrous Creature (a puny one, but hey) not Infantry.

They're also a dedicated transport, but that doesn't make them scoring (if they could hold the troops they came with inside after landing the troops could score using the transport's dimensions, but they can't). Other army transports aren't scoring either (except DA Landspeeders, i think i heard once? )

They'd be pretty reasonable Objective denyers, if they were tougher.

The Viletide: Daemons of Nurgle/Deathguard: 7400 pts
Disclples of the Dragon - Ad Mech - about 2000 pts
GSC - about 2000 Pts
Rhulic Mercs - um...many...
Circle Oroboros - 300 Pts or so
Menoth - 300+ pts

Asclam: they fulfill a role Similar to DTs, but are not DTs; Veheicles are denied Scoring, not DTs+Similar.

I will be right back to edit this after some quick research on the Spores but they score as of me writing this; until i find some rule that says otherwise.

Edit: Found it; their unit entry(page 90 of the 'Nid dex) specifies them as a non-scoring unit; They never score, but for different reasons than what asclam said.

This is my Rulebook. There are many Like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my rulebook is useless. Without my rulebook, I am useless.
Stop looking for buzz words and start reading the whole sentences.

Aha, didn't see that there. OK, that's that solved.
