playing game now. Biovore spore shot scatters on top of tyranids tyrant. Spore mine rule says if spore mine deviates and lands outside 6 inches do not resolve attack but place spore mine. Spore mine cannot be placed because center of blast on top of tyrant correct? Or doe tyrant take strength 4 hit?

Unless it lands 6" off its just a s4 large blast so your tyrant takes the hit...

He's saying it did scatter more than 6" off. The only way I can see to consider it is that the spore mines have contacted impassable terrain and explode. They didn't drift into friendly models, so they aren't just removed.

Ok, let me clairify. The spore mine launcher says (If I remember correctly), that if the spore mine blast template scatters 6 inchers or more away from the enemy, then do not resolve the attack but instead place a spore mine. In this case above, the spore mine deviated more than 6 inches away from the enemy on top of my tyrant. Now following the rules for the spore mine launcher, the attack is not resolved (no strength 4 hit), but the spore mine cant be placed because it is on top of the tyrant...correct?

(in the end it didnt matter, we rolled for the results and the tyrant took the hit and it failed to wound)

You place it and the mine then explodes, as models are impassable terrain.
