This came up in a game I played earlier this week and we didn't know how to play it. My opponent had a Destroyer Lord, the one with the medium base(dreadnought base) beneath it in combat with a group of my harlequins, I killed his squad, Destroyer Lord included and then spread out to try and block the everliving from activating on his lord. This is where we hit a snag, he couldn't place his entire model within the 3 inches that everliving gives you to resurrect in without being within 1 inch of one of my models. But he could place his model so that part of the base was within that 3 inch space. When everliving activates do you need to fit 100% of the models base within those 3 inches, the same way movement/disembarking is now in 6th edition? Or is it like 5th edition disembarking where as long as part of the model is in 3 inches you can get back up?

Depends on wording. If the base has to be within 3" then only part of the base has to be within 3". If the base has to be wholly within 3" the whole base has to be within 3".

It's just 3" away from the counter, not within 3" of the counter. So even if a tiny fraction of the base is 3" away from the counter, you can roll for RP.

Edit: Mannahnin has it correct.

'Within three inches", which is the rule, just means that any part of the base must be within 3" of the marker.

If the rule said "wholly within" or "completely within" three inches, then it'd be much harder to place the model. But that's not what it says.

What I do, roll first, argue after.

Sounds like the RP roll was good to go. As alluded to above, "within" is explicitly defined in the rulebook as being partly within, not completely - where this is different, it will specify or use the wording "wholly within" instead.
