If the Eldar warlock power "Conceal" gave Shroud, or heck even Stealth ... how useful would that be? Suddenly it's useful for even Seer Councils to carry one around.

...Isn't it technically better as-is, in terms of acquiring a save when out of cover?

If the Warlocks got some altered powers, maybe alter the wording on Conceal so it improves Cover saves by 2 and grants a 5+ cover save out in the open, though.

Yeah, but I'd be happy with Stealth or Shroud, it still provides a 5+/6+ cover in the open, and doesn't need to stack with nightfighting (in my opinion).

But, an average of 3+ or 4+ cover for Guardians, suddenly makes that Warlock a very effective force multiplier, and far more worth taking. Plus, it might help Guardian Defenders live up to their name and guard something a little better.

i want shrouding or nothing, you can stick your stealth vs conceal

also guardians behind a aegis going to ground laugh at nearly all weapons shooting at them

P.S Warlocks with 1 conceal, 1 enhance, 1 embolden and 7 destructors with 2 farseers one with fortune and doom and the other with 4 powers in telepathy can result in a seer council walking around in the open with 2+ reroll cover save 4+ reroll invul save........so taking that in mind we really want destructor to be an overwatch weapon

With Shrouded you don't have to go to ground behind an Aegis. :p Shrouded + Aegis gives 2+ cover anyway.
