Chucku Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'm in total agreement. The one guy on there was claiming that since the power does not say the vehicle is obscured, it does not get a cover save. He's interpeting backwards, in my opinion. I agree. Gwar says that the vehicle needs to be obscured to gain a cover save. I think Gwar is confusing cover with cover save. Yes, a vehicle can be in cover and not get a cover save. But Storm Caller, a psychic power, grants a cover save, not merely cover (obscured or not). Codex > BRB in this case.

Kind of pointless to argue about this the errata states that any friendly unit within 6"gains a 5+ coversave, a vehicle is also a unit in youre army list. What else to make of it... a thing?

Decoy Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Them Dakkaboys are a cult of personality, as a general rule. If you disagree with the "popular" folk, then you're a nonentity. Folk like Gwar, among others, simply deem their opinion "right", and if you argue against it, the fanboys show up to defend 'em. It's like a High School Reject party over there some times, really. They didn't fit in during school, so they've formed their own little microcomunity of :) :D :D ers to stroke their :cuss ... erm... egos. Take anything you find at Dakka with a grain of salt at the very best.

whitewolfmxc Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I cant believe they would even argue over such a simple thing , storm caller doesn't treat you in cover purposes like in last edition , it only grants cover save so yes your tank will have a cover save without being in cover non the less lol Also it says EVERY UNIT , so show me one line in the codex or rule book when it says that it actually excludes vehicles ? A bunch of people arguing something just for the sake of it is pure ............what ever lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195955-sw-psychic-powerswhats-working-whats-not-tips-etc/page/2/#findComment-2335301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schertenleib Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 ;) That's why I love this forum! Back on topic: My main poweres at Living Lighting and Murderous Hurricane. Jaws was good to use against Tau Broadsides but the guy I normally play is fielding more jump infantry now and Jaw will not work on them.

Captain Talon Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 I've decided to go with Jaws and Living Lightning....I feel that the best defense is a good offense, so we'll use them. My army isn't totally done, but I'll see about snapping some picks and posting the battle results etc in a separate thread. Thanks for all the replys. For Russ!!!!!

Grey Mage Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Why Storm Caller in a Mech List? Because cover saves for vehicles are good. :) There are questions about whether you can use it for vehicles, even after the FAQ. The answer to those questions is: Yes, vehicles are units that can be effected by the power. G'day.
