The situation as objectively as I can set it out:

Old school Ork Trukk (One of the very low slung ones) with a ram bar is about 3 inches in front of an Aegis Defense line.

A unit of Tau Fire Warriors are behind the Aegis with no one closer than 3" to the Aegis walls.

I declare a tank shock on the Fire Warriors.

A Fire Warrior decides to Death or Glory and scores a penetrating hit.

Since the Aegis is between me and my target, would I get a cover save?


Just looking for an opinion.

Fire claws innocents without number
As charred cinders replace green life
Death takes good and evil to their slumber
And guilt stabs into me with its knife

Reread the rules for Death or Glory (Page number in the Index) it tells you this information.

The tank moves until it reaches base contact with an enemy. So the Aegis cannot be between them .

Even if the aegis was in between them, you wouldn't get a cover save, as you cannot be obscured from a tank shock.

When my opponent, before they show up at the FLGS smears themselves in peanut butter and then makes blood sacrifices to Ashterai by slitting the throat of three male chickens and then smears the spatter pattern into the peanut butter to engrave sacred symbols into their chest and upper arms.
I have a peanut allergy. It's really inconsiderate.

Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in space and flung him into the Warp, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to real-space, and undo the evil that is Chaos!"

Indeed, as Deathreaper has said, last sentence tells you about Cover Saves in the Death or Glory. And the Aegis Defense Line is not an enemy, it's terrain so it being betweenyou and something else doesn't matter.
