Thunderfire in Cover

[DevilUknow]

I couldn't find anything searching, so sorry if this is a repeat question.

 

If Thunderfire is considered a vehicle with armour 10 (p.55 of core book), and it is obscured by a piece of cover (ruins 4+) with bolster defense (making it 3+) and is the target of a battle cannon does it get:

 

a. a 3+ cover save

 

or

 

b. a 4+ obscured save as per targeting vehicles (p. 62 of core book)

 

thanks.

 

EDIT: Changed the word Artillery to Thunderfire for specificity

p62 is quite clear that the obscured save is whatever the cover granting it is(so 3+ in this case).

 

Flat out and wargear granting obscured give the flat save value.

Very specifically, it states that you get a cover save equal to whatever is giving you cover. If you are out in the open, it's a 4+ cover save.

 

As such, if you're getting obscurity with a bush or fence (how, I don't know), then it would be 5+.

If it was from ruins, woods, walls, etc... 4+

If it's from a hardened structure like a bunker... 3+.

 

If, somehow, you get enough chain link fences between your rhino and the lascannon shooting at it... you'd get a 6+.

[DevilUknow]

ah yes!

 

we've been playing "smoke launcher makes you obscured giving 4+ save, therefore, obscured is a 4+ save".

 

thanks.
