The eternal guardian effect with monsters and vehicles

[angrom]

I can't really tell if the protocol of the eternal guardian applies to every models in our army including Monster and vehicles.

As it is written this allow our units to benefit from light cover (which by itself provides +1 save) with no other restrictions.

However light cover is part of the terrain traits and the limitation of such terrains is that it only apply to infantry, swarms and beasts.

 

So I guess do we get it on monsters and vehicles regardless as it is applying without the need for a terrain cover or not?

Read it and thought of the same thing. My initial thought is they don't. Because it strictly refers to light cover. If they wanted to include monsters and vehicles to be given this benefit, the wording would be something like "add one to save rolls" or such like that

I think it doesn't apply. Or rather, it applies but does nothing for units that wouldn't normally get a cover bonus for light cover.

It would actually apply. The Light Cover rule itself does not exclude Monsters and Vehicles, just the area terrain rules. Since the Eternal Guardian just says they have the benefit of light cover (and not, say, that they count as being in terrain) it won't matter.

Oh you're right. So stuff like Ravenguard tanks get better cover saves when far away. I hadn't realised that.
