1) this topic is about a vehicle that has obtained "obscured" status. so no comments about stormcaller or anything else that doesnt explicitly say "obscured" in its rule.


I have to admit i never paid attention to this until i was re-reading it so a couple rules that i have never paid attention to but make a huge difference.

in the BBB p62

"Just like with units of several models, if you're not sure whether the vehicle is 50% in cover or not, simply modify its save by -1 ."

i also never noticed that vehicles get the same cover save as infantry for the cover provided not just a raw 4+ for everything.

"(for example, a save of 5+ for a hedge, 4+ for a building, 3+ for a fortification, and so on"

Edit: double post due to lag.

The "4+ for everything" is simply when wargear makes you obscured without specifying a save - then it goes to a 4+ by default.

Good point. The issue I think for most people is you see lots of ruins, buildings, and trees for terrain... all stuff that provides 4+ cover.

This is actually inspiration to build fences, grass fields and such. We should have more varied terrain on the battlefield!

Is there a rules question here...?

Not that I can see.
