Vehicles and cover saves....

Alright... Same thing came up 2 days in a row so I figured I would ask GW themselves on their take on the rules here...

On page 62 of the rulebook is specifies that vehicles gain whatever coves save would normally be gained by models behind that cover, so in this case the cannon would get a cover save of 3+.

The confusion probably stems from the part after that where is says that if any wargear makes a vehicle count as “obscured” it is a 4+ save. That is only for things like Tau disruption pods and Ork forcefield.

This would mean, that if a thunderfire was sitting in a way so as to ACTUALLY be obscured but a techmarines fortified cover, then the gun would get a 3+ cover save.

So pretty much we interpreted it thursday. Cool.

Yeah, It was a bad call on my behalf and I am sorry.

On the other hand, 2 of my 3 crisis suits had an unobstructed view of the thunder fire so it shouldn't have gotten a save anyways. Either or, whats done is done.
