Ok we all know that  Mandrakes get to use Cover sav In Close Combat  (right) say so in there description.

 So  If a Necron  Lord attacks  mandrakes in cover ,do they still  recieve there cover save?? I know the  description of the warscythe say no saves does that mean cover saves too, or was that  armor savs,  and inv save??

  Thios question has come up a  few times when i play  with my  mandrakes against over players especially ones with  dread axes and  monsterous creatures since i only get cover saves?? any comments?? 

Are you sure they get cover saves in close combat? Or they benefit from being in cover when charged?

the receive cover saves in combat Per there rules hence they reciece a +2 cover save bonus when in Cover.... as i remember( dont have the book in front of me right now)

I think you should re-read those rules.

One can't help wondering if Texas has an influence...the evidence is growing...

well after re reading the rules they do have cover saves in close combat. there the only unit beside there special character that recieves cover saves in close combat, but still the question is would i be able too take cover saves vs a war scrythe??

No, when the warscythe entry says that no saves may be taken, that means cover, armor, or car insurance for that matter. It is like vortex of doom, there is nothing that can be countered by it, except of course dying to it.
