We have had true line of slight for a while in 40k and models eye view rules per pg 8 of the BRB. We had a difference of opinion last night of how this works with Dan's Dark Eldar Venom (The one with a true born on its right wing). We both thought we were doing it right/wrong. We resolved the issue and moved on.
I would like to know how we should have played it. So would this Venom get a cover save from the menacing Necron Night Scythe? The guns are located at the bottom of the flyer. It would get a jink 5+ save anyway but we ruled that the cover (sand bags just in front of it) where fortified and granted a 4+ save.
Vehicles need to be 25% obscured to get a cover save per the pictures on pg 75 BRB so I said it did not. The opposing argument (Dan please chip in if I got it wrong) is that the cover is 25% in front of the vehicle even if it is not obscuring it.
A picture is worth 1000 words.

Would it get a cover save? Thoughts welcome both sides. It was a mute point in the end as it was realised on the last turn that night vision on all the DE units would have stopped alot of my cover saves through out the game as it was night fight for three turns thanks to Imotekh.
Dan cheers for the game. We needed alot more time to finish it. I know you felt rubbish with your recent trip to the dentist and I Appreciated you coming to play our game.
Sorry pictures are so massive!!!!
