Subject: Orks with +1 to cover saves and move through cover in ruins?

I played a game against an Ork player who had +1 to cover saves and move through cover in ruins. I am trying to find which formation and/or warlord trait gives these abilities. Can anyone help me out?

Strategic Warlord Trait: Conqueror of Cities (rulebook p 125)
Probably took Da Thinkin' Kap for an extra roll on that table.

Hrmm, that seems odd.
BRB, p38, Maximum Save: "no save (armour, cover or invulnerable) can ever be improved beyond 2+."
A roll of 1 always fails. Right?

I know codex/supplement trumps BRB, but... A roll of 1 always fails. Right?
+1 not 1+ lol

Ah, I see. I read the OP as the Ork Player was taking a 1+ cover save, which seemed really weird. (Note: it is possible to get as low as 2+ with Night Fighting, but not 1+). Hence my response. Reading the OP again, I see what the original question was asking -- how did the Ork player get a bonus (+1) to the Cover Save. Got it.

Kommandos also have stealth (+1 cover saves) and move through cover as part of their special rules.

It was either Kommandos, or Conqueror of Cities Aka best warlord trait in the game.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!" |
