Do Wraithlords get cover from an adl? If so, how much?

**TheKbob**

25% obscured, granted a save equal to what they are obscured by.

Other units/models, is 5+, ruins are 4+, buildings 3+ (?)

**rivers64**

... so they get a 5+?

ADL grants the same save as Barricades and Walls. See page 104

**coredump**

*IF* the model is 25% obscured.

That's easy to do with ADL...

So 4+ cover on those 'lords... whoooo!

**Mannahnin**

25% of a Wraithlord? I highly doubt it.

**HoverBoy**

You'll be surprised how little 25% actually is, OTOH i don't have an ADL or a WL handy but i wouldn't count out the taller sections of the line yet.

**Mannahnin**

Most of the WL's bulk/silhoutte is up in the air, though.

**HoverBoy**

Indeed that's why it will be very situation specific, honestly all of these can this get cover from this thread are pointless as there are way too many factors that affect weather or not a target of any kind gets a cover from any shooting unit.

**Mannahnin**

True enough. It all comes down to the exact position and perspective of the models on the table.

**HoverBoy**

And you only need one model in the shooting unit to not see you well in order to get cover.

**Mannahnin**

One firing model, still. So can still elect not to fire with certain models so as to deny cover if you just shoot with the guys who can see clearly.

**HoverBoy**

That is a viable tactic but with smaller units you quckly loose damage output and might be better off shooting another target.

**Mannahnin**

Depends on the unit. A squad of IG vets, for example, get most of their damage output from the special weapons, which are three models out of ten.

**HoverBoy**

That's hardly a small unit, i was thinking more along the lines of obliterators, battlesuits, devastators etc. Although even in the vet case if that one model has the special weapon it would suck big time.
