Anyone seen an official answer on Darkshroud vs 3+ vs AP0?

[Tacitus]

Darkshroud says Models have the benefit of cover.

 

Benefit of Cover says Models with a 3+ or better can't have the benefit of cover vs  AP0.  Generally mutually exclusive there.  And given most Dark Angels are 3+ or better and most basic weapons are AP0 that really pulls the oomph out of a Darkshroud.  Just wondering if anyone has seen it come up on a FAQ or anything yet.

I haven't seen any FAQs so I would assume RAW apply.

 

The best place for a Darkshroud is protecting units with a 2+ save (Land Raider, Dreads, Vindicator) as your opponent will really need to higher AP weapons to crack these targets. Dark Angels Ironstorm with a Darkshroud or two shielding and armoured spearhead was quite a popular build last year IIRC. Add in Azrael as a CP battery and chuck in just enough infantry to hold Objectives and counter-charge any melee threats.

That's the problem with the RAW.  Its Immovable Object vs Irresistable Force.  One rule says they have it, the other rules says they don't.  At best you might get Bespoke rule trumps core rule, but I don't know if that's a thing either now.
