LOL NOT!

The BRB states that any unit that has 50% or more of its models in cover, the entire unit will receive a cover save. Therefore a single carnifex joined by a tyranid prime will receive a cover save if it has a termagant or hormagaunt (or any other type of) screen in front of it, because the warrior is infantry and qualifies for a save. The unit also uses the Carnifexes toughness of 6 when being shot at, since there would be no majority toughness to choose from.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238009.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238009.page GMT tyranids prime IIRC it requires you to shoot through the squad to get the cover and those models are rather short.

An easier way to do it is have the T-Prime touching area terrain and boom 4+ cover save.

Primes don't get saves from Gaunts as the Gaunts are too short to cover the Prime. Gargoyals would be a better screen.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238457.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238457.page GMT tyranids prime HT has a cover save.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238474.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238474.page GMT tyranids prime http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238522.page GMT Re:tyranids prime http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238586.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238586.page GMT tyranids prime
i somehow doubt that his feet account for 50% of his body.


Doesn't have to cover 50% of his body. He's not an MC, so all that needs to happen is a part of his body obscured (or part of his body between models in a unit).

You have a point in that the gaunts have to be fairly close to the prime inorder to ensure a cover save, but its still not difficult.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238651.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334222/2238651.page GMT
