If a space marine with a power fist charges a wave sepent and attacks does the wave serpent still get a jinx save on hits caused in close assault

Can you take cover saves in close combat? THe rulebook is explicit on this answer

Jink saves are cover saves, just to add to nos' comment

No, you cannot take a jink save in close combat as explained above. Also, the wave serpent cannot use the serpent shield to take a penetrating hit down to a glance in close combat either as the close combat attacks are resolved against its rear armor.

Thanks guys for clarifying this for us
