I don't have the Tau codex, I'm just curious. Can Markerlights remove or reduce the cover saves on a vehicle that counts as obscured?

For example:

Smoke Launchers/KFF

Less than 1/2 of the vehicle facing visible

Easy question (I think). Thanks.

They reduce cover saves, hence they can reduce the cover save given to a vehicle.

I would have to agree with Centurian99 since obscured vehicles count as getting a cover save they could lower it. I would also say that even wargear that would grant obscured would be effected in the same way.

So that would mean that Markerlights do not affect a Black Templar Rhino that has used smoke launchers*

But if markerlights are fired at an Ultramarines Rhino that used smoke it may reduce its 4+ cover save.

Hahaha silly smurfs and their inferior smoke!


*(BT codex states smoke launchers reduce all pen hits to glancing and BGB says that if a codex has a different rules for smoke launchers in them they use those rules rather than the normal 4+ cover save.)
