Not including battle of keylek legacy. I can't think of any that aren't in specific vehicle/weapon rules themselves (eg: typhon).

The reason I ask is that the new deimos pattern vindicator with battle of sarosh has a 36.2% chance of exploding a jinking stormraven/any av12 jinking flyer, as sarosh gives it skyfire and tank hunter. However, with ignores cover, this goes up to a 62.4% chance. It also grants interceptor so it will be as soon as it has finished its deployment.

Haha that made me chuckle.

Nope. The two ways to give Ignores Cover to non-vehicle units (Orders and Perfect Timing) don't work on vehicles.

Oh well... I suppose a 36.2% chance of exploding a raven, fire raptor, hell turkey or storm eagle before its even fired is pretty nifty in itself. Even if it doesn't explode it should be causing decent damage...

I was being greedy for the odds wasn't I?

Well you can get either the FW hyperios whirlwind,or the FW Helios land raider,which can be upgraded to have a Hyperios launcher

Leman Russ Eradicator, Colossus Bombard, Deathstrike.

Once upon a time, the Imperial Guard was one of the only factions in the game with an ignores cover weapon. They actually have less now that the Hydra doesn't ignore jinks.

Now, You can give artillery IC order. Suck as the Earth Shaker Cannon.....

IG*

Yes, grab the forgeworld emplaced weapons, laugh. Ignores cover sabres...

Auspex and/or some of the Skitarii stuff can lower the cover saves of what you're shooting at.

Also the Malcador Infernus.

Whirlwind, Land Raider Redeemer, Hellhound, Immolator (are they still around?), Leman Russ Eradicator, Hull mounted Heavy Flamers (chimeras, leman russes, basilisks)? Razorbacks with TL heavy flamers? Wyverns? The IK with the hellstorm template? the hellstorm template itself? Perfect Timing on a vehicle with Psychic Pilot (I don't suppose there are any of those)?

Thanks for the feedback. Not asking about specific models or weapons but ways to give units/weapons that do not usually have ignores cover, ignores cover.
Apart from battle of keylek, I am unaware of any.

Timing with psychic pilot may be a good one.

Is there any psychic pilot for IG?

No but GK have it. Or did in the old dex - don't know about the new dex.

Keep in mind the Sabres are engaging non-flyers on 6's

Missed this for some reason until quoted. Sounds like very good AA.
