Quick Question. Based on the way I read the rules (WH40K 6th Ed). If I placed a Leman Russ Tank behind a Aegis Def Line as long as 25% if the vehicles is obscured from the view of an enemy firing at the LR, it would receive a +4 cover save. If it had Camo Netting then a +3 Cover Save. Am I wrong or just tired. I got a game tomorrow night and need a ruling.

You are correct

Vehicles take cover saves against glancing and penetrating hits in exactly the same way that infantry do against Wounds (RB p75, last bullet point). This means that if you're behind a piece of terrain that gives 4+ cover, like an ADL, then the vehicle gets 4+ cover; likewise, if it was behind terrain that gives 2+ cover, then it gets 2+ cover.

Vehicles do have different rules for cover saves though,I am not sure if they would get a 2 plus cover save though, iirc its a 4 plus for 25% obsurced and 3 plus if the front of the vehcile cannot be seen but the rest can?

Will check brb in a bit

Incorrect. Vehicles receive cover saves in the same way as infantry, and receive the same cover save as infantry. If infantry would get a cover save then so would a vehicle, and at the same value.

There is no default save for a vehicle and cover.

Youre getting confused with the rules for shooting at a vehicle when you cannot see the facing your are in.

I stand corrected, thanks

Thanks for the ruling. I have a Lemun Russ x 2 Squadron and two Basilisk/Griffon Batterys that I need to protect. Thanks all.

Sorry to drag this up once more but i was thinking last night if i have a basilisk behind a Aegis line giving it a 4+ save and i then gave the basilisk cammo netting. which would give it the stealth rule which adds +1 to the units cover save, Could this then make the Basilisk receive a 3+ cover save ?

If this is so it just made a Basilisk a top choice in my eyes.

Yes, it seems so

Sweet !
