khurdur Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Quick question, is a rhino tall enough to give a land raider cover? I could have one raider and surround it with 3 rhinos giving it protection from melta shots...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Quick answer: it depends on the point of view of the firer. So, yes and no :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Does it cover more than 50% of the LR from the point of view of the firer? If so then yes it gains cover, if not then no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khurdur Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 I see, aginst a land based target, ie a unit of termicide terminators for example next to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmytool Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 also remember it is 50% of the facing the shots being fired from not 50% of the LR as a whole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I rhino may provide cover for a landraider but it does not grant cover merely on the basis that it is a rhino. If you want to run your LR with rhinos right up against it for cover, sure, go ahead. One rhino placed hull to hull next to the LR will obscure more than 50% of that facing. Of course it will completely block LoS from the LR's weapons but for a turn 1 deployment with no viable cover, it might be an option for you.
