Hey all I just want to know if the 4+ cover SV for Ork warbikes still counts for when they are in close combat.

Ops never mind had a stupid moment there

does cover usually work in CC?

No, cover is only for shooting attacks.

In CC only the armor or invulnerable saves can be taken.

what would be hilarious would be if they struck first unless you had grenades....

mandrakes also take their cover with them, doesnt work for them either.

Nope cover doesn't work for assault.

is this the right place for a question like this?

anyway - no you don't get a 4+ cover save in CC but you do get the bikes normal save which is.... 4+! power weapons will ignore it but hey ho.

in the warbike entery they are listed as having a 4+ save and additionally have the 4+ cover save from a special rule, you can use either. so if some jammy stern guard use that rubbish "ignores cover saves" bullet type you can just say "ok no probs, ill just use the 4+ armor save instead!" que watching your opponent curse wildly...

and that my friends is why bikes are WIN!
