Unsure if I should be using 6 inches or 2?

p79 under "Placing Disembarked Models"

There is no 2" disembark rule anymore.

Perfect, thanks. I was playing some dude last night who demanded i used 2 inches

I will refer him to the rule book plus this thread.

Thought I was going mad for a moment.

The problem is the 'Transport Spore' rule of the Mycetic Spore says:
Once the Mycetic Spore has landed, all creatures within must immediately deploy - place the unit such that every model is within 2" of the Mycetic Spore.

and

A unit that Deep Strikes via a Mycetic Spore cannot more or assault in the same turn it arrived but may shoot (or run) as normal

AFAIK this hasn't been errata'd yet, so that means you're still stuck with the 2" disembark as the codex beats the rulebook in this regard.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that exact rule. I'd say 2" then until/unless something official says otherwise

Yeah sounds like you are "STUCK" with 2". The Mycetic Spore is NOT a vehicel so the rules for disenbarking form a transport vehicle DO NOT APPLY HERE. Codex says 2" disembark, then you are stuck with the 2". Welcome to the SUCK!

Ewww, that does suck indeed. Thanks anyways.
