I am pretty sure of the answer allready, but im going to ask you anyway:
Lets say i have a Valkyrie with multiple rocketpod fireing at a squad behind Aegis Defense Line.
The Squad i pretty covered from attacks from the ground, but a Valkyrie will easily look over the defenseline, and can easily land the largeblast without any models being behind any sort of cover. Do the models still get a coversave?(i assume no)
The same can probably be applied to craters, sandbags and other terrainbits which confers cover from a groundunit. The Valkyrie is pretty much barrage o_0

Models will get the cover save if they are at least 25% obscured. If not, then no cover save.

I would guess the first line will be 25% obscured if they are in base to wall contact with the aegis. But if those are dead -> no cover I would guess. But thats not 100% fact.

Fact is though, that every model at least 25% obscured recieves a cover save and the rest not.

Well lets think about it. By bringing the Aegis Defense Line it [u]says that troops inside[u] get a what, 4+? 3+?, cover save. So if they are inside would it not be logical to assume no matter what they will still get that cover save? Of course unless someone uses a weapon that says it ignores cover, then that is a different story.

There's a thread open on this exact same question (about 6 threads from the top). Always best to look before you post.
