A couple of questions guys. A friend of mine believes that if he has a Kustom Force Field, it gives a cumulative boost to the cover save, for example if he is in 4+ cover behind a barrier with a big mek with KFF, it will mean a 2+ cover save. This does not sound right to me, as it says nothing in the rules about cumulative cover saves for things like KFF, but only for a couple of specific cases, like going to ground. I would think it is like armor saves, choose the best on available. Also can you focus fire on models outside the 6" radius?

Thanks in advance for your help

The kff just provides a cover save. It works the same as any other cover save.

No. KFF gives 5+. Regardless. If another cover save is better, like going to ground in ruins or behind an ADL then you'd use that instead.

No you cannot focus fire. If ONE model from a friendly unit is within 6", my understanding is that it extends to the whole unit. Imagine spokes on a wheel with the KFF at the hub.

The KFF simply provides a standard cover bonus of 5+

It does not provide shrouding, which would increase a units cover save by 2, meaning units behind an aegis would then have a 2+ cover.

it is not cumulative if it was it wouldn't be a coversave it would be stealth or shrouded USR.

i WISH it did that, it would be a 6+ in the open which would suck under that condition but in any kind of cover we'd get a 3+/4+ which would be epic.

Slap two together if it stacks with each other and now its 2+/3+

Sadly its a 5+ flatout. Since its an HQ choice and kinda screws over the HQ when you do it (hes not that useful aside from the bubble he gives) i wish it was better.

Thanks guys, that was pretty much what I was expecting. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

It gets really good with nightfighting though. start with a 5 and gain shroud. hey look I have MEQ Boys
