Subject: What about partially covered (Dense cover, light cover) unit by Obstacle, Area terrain?

Hey guys.
If just some models of a unit, not all models, are on (or within) Area Terrain or are within 3inches of an Obstacle, the hole models of the unit can get light cover or dense cover?

For Light or Heavy cover... Only models within the terrain get the benefit of cover. So hits allocated to models in cover apply the terrain modifiers; hits allocated to models outside the cover do not. Different models within the same unit can have different cover bonuses applied to them.
For Dense cover, the entire unit loses the benefit of Dense cover if even one model is fully exposed.

To put it this way: dense cover depends on the shooter, other cover on the target.
If gusrdsman 1 and 2 are shooting some orks, and guardsman one sees an ork exposed while guardsman 2 can only draw los through the dense over, guardsman 1 hits on a 4 and guardsman 2 hits on a 5.

"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!"

Yeah, that's the better way to put it.
Light cover is resolved model by model, based on whether the defending model is within cover.
Dense cover is resolved model by model, based on whether the attacking model can "see" the defending model without going through/over the terrain feature.
