ChainsawDR Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hi, If I have a TDA LW footslogging ahead of 4 WG terminators, like this: __LW__ X X X X Will he grant the unit behind him a 4+ cover save?

ChainsawDR Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 no they weren't wolves, they (_) were just there to centre the wolf ahead of the 4 x's. I'm guessing then that there are no cover saves if it's just 1 TDA LW in front of 4 TDA WG's. Any difference if its 1 TDA LW in front of 3 or 2 TDA WG's?

The Trickster Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 It depends on where the shooter is shooting from and how the models are alligned. The LW could give cover save to 10 WG if they are standing in a straight line after each other with the LW in front. So it comes down to how many WG have some part of them blocked by the LW. In the case with the 4 WG they would get a cover save if 2+ have a leg/arm or something else blocked by the LW. TLOS is the factor here.

Max_Dammit Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Isnt the cover save the same as a Inv save for TDA :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205679-lw-granting-cover-saves/#findComment-2453972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChainsawDR Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 I thought it was one better, 4+ rather than the 5++ save. The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of running a 4 man TDA unit behind the LW, who attack who the LW attacks. I didn't know whether to give one WG a SS for a 3++ save, or save the points and position the LW to grant a 4+ cover save. For a few points more than the price of a SS I could get another WG in TDA with PW & SB so I'm thinking of doing this. Cheers for the replies.

The Trickster Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Yup. Cover save from other models is 4+ Inv. save from TDA is 5+ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205679-lw-granting-cover-saves/#findComment-2454056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Mage Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Itll be nigh on impossible without a couple of fenrisian wolves or taking alot more time with your movement than its worth.

MaleOpener Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I really can't see a single Lone Wolf model blocking LoS for a pack behind it. With some experience in a "Logan" list, give your WGTDA pack a storm shield. Bounce high S wounds off the shield bearer, leaving the S4 (and lower) to be taken by the rest of the pack.
