The rules/errata for the Ork Big Mek KFF states that it provides a 5+ Cover save to models within a 6" radius.

I've seen battle reports and players which state that it's at the unit level (so any unit within 6" has the save). Yet I can't help but read this verbatim.

If the Big Mek joins a unit of boyz and there are boyz more than 6" away from the mek, do those boyz get the save or does the entire unit?

Likewise, if a seperate unit is within 6" of the Big Mek, does the whole unit or just the models within the 6"?

All you need is One model from the unit to be within the six inch range to grant the whole unit the 5+ cover save.

So at it says ¨ any unit within six has the save¨

Is one model of the unit innside the bubble, the whole unit gets its 5+ as said.
It doesnt state models but unit.

Every ork player should know this!

Doesnt it say it confers the save to 'units' within 6" of the KFF Mek?

If so, that means only one boy from each mob has to be in range for the whole mob to get the 5+ cover save. As I understand it thats a common-ish tactic with Ork blobs. Walk them up the field with a KFF giving cover saves to several huge mobs of boys.

Ok I stand corrected. Thanks!
