Just curious. Idea popped into my head (It is 3am & I should be unconscious by now! )...

I can't think of a unit that adheres to these requirements but..; Could a bike/jetbike that make's use of the Turbo-Boost movement ability improve its 3+ cover-save to 2+ via the Stealth USR?

It may well be the case that there simply isn't a uni in the current 40K 5th edition incarnation that has both those rules.. but if it works, I thought it was cool!

Thanks

Sure I dont see why not

scarab swarms benefit from a similar rule

Too bad chaos marines cant still get veteran abilities.

Turbo boosting stealth nurgle bikers with a khorne lord attached FTFW

**BlueDagger**

Yes this would confer a 2+, ti's been in an official FAQ

Now your making me wise the IG has bikers that I could put camo netting on...

The closest thing would probly be a Space Wolf Wolf Priest with Saga of the Hunter (which provides the stealth USR) attached to a unit of Swiftclaws, the only problem is that the Saga of the Hunter option has an asterisk that specifically limits the ability to take a bike upgrade.

Would it be possible for a unit of bikers to turboboost from one side of the table next to an IC with stealth, who then joins the unit to give the entire unit a 2+ cover save? or can IC not join turboboosting units? I dont know as I have not used biker marines in like 10 years (and only one guy I know plays them, but its Dress Angels, so they dont count)
