I'm not sure about this one so I just wantetd to see what the consensus is. If I were to run a Venom behind a Beast Pack and my opponent's unit shot through the Beast Pack to target the Venom, would the Venom's 4+ Jink save be increased to 3+?

No, you get a 5+ obscured and a 4+ if you jink.

Obscured doesn't give you a +1 so can't be combined with jink.

Okay, great. Thanks very much for clarifying.

AFAIK, aside Disruption Pods, Holo-fields, Skilled Rider and WS chapter tactics, tehre's nothing in the game that improves Jink

New ork warbikes do it too if the rumors are true.

Stealth / Shrouded should as jink is a cover save.

Anything that improves a cover save will improve jink. Jink is simply a cover save you gain by meeting the requirements for it, nothing more.

So yo uhave 2 classes - those that improve ALL cover saves, and those that improve ONLY jink cover saves.

Just note that by jinking you are not making any other cover save better.

You need to have an effect that improves your cover save or improves your jink to get a better cover save.

Example being stealth or shrouded on a jinking skimmer or the bolster defence special ability on a ruins.

yes, but I was talking about specific stuff that regards models able to Jink. Stealth/Shrouded are more broad than the stuff I cited
