Can a Hierophant(or any gargantuan creature) gain shroud from a venomthrope? Can they gain a cover save at all?

Why wouldn't they? Doesn't say GMCs can't take cover saves in the rules

Thank you

Brand new player, just wondering if putting a venomthrope with my heirophant is worth it

Yes, you can. It doesn't really make sense, since per fluff the venom is emitting a spore cloud that provides cover. Which wouldn't even cover half of one leg of a bio-titan. But RAW, it works.

I am fairly certain hierophants can produce their own shrouded with an upgrade. Not 100% on that but almost.


These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

Nope.
What you might be thinking of is giving the heirophant the upgrade that adds a transport capacity, and putting a venomthrope/malanthrope inside.

This used to let you measure the shrouded aura from the heirophants base. However I think the FAQ changed it so aura effects can't be used by embarked models, so it no longer works.
