So got a couple of questions regards to the Scarabs...

How do you measure LoS to them? using the models themselves or having an imaginary block that they could be targetted?

If you were shooting through a squad of Scarabs would you get a cover save?
As it says that in shooting if friendly and enemy units confer as 5+ cover save.

It's true LoS. They are as big as they are and provide cover if they block LoS to the models behind them.

It's all True Line of Sight. So if they can't be seen, they can't be seen.

Yes, if you're shooting "through" any unit then a cover save is conferred to the receiver.

Swarms don't provide a cover save when shooting through them.

There is nothing in the Swarms USR that disallows them to provide cover.

So Scarabs act as if a screen for general infantry?

and for Vehicles you still have to have the 25% rule?

Yes indeed. though you'll be hard pressed to ever meet that requirement with scarabs, but it's possible.

Whenever my horde of scarabs assaults a dread im always sure to spend a good 2-3 minutes stacking them all on top of its head when its their turn to attack
