| Sanerio 1: malenthrope provides shrouded to all units within 6 inches. So to take full advantage of this, you can have an entire 20 man unit of gaunts receive shrouded as long as ONE gaunt is within 6 inches. Is this correct?
Sanerio 2: Ruins provide 4+ cover save. So again, you can have an entire 20 man unit of gaunts receive that 4+ cover save as long as ONE gaunt is in that ruin. And let's say the other 19 are trailing away in single file to reach an objective that's out in the open almost 2ft away. Is this correct? | |

Correct. If it said MODELS, as opposed to units, then only the models within 6" could claim the additional cover save. - Quote :

I believe that ruins DO specify models. If that's correct, then then only the models actually within the ruins gain the 4+ cover save. EDIT: Checked and confirmed. Models, not units. | |

Correct. If it said MODELS, as opposed to units, then only the models within 6" could claim the additional cover save. Not quite. Shrouded confers to the whole unit so only one Gaunt would need to be in range for the whole unit to get it. _________________  You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.

| Hmm. Seems you are correct. My bad. Ruins answer remains, however. | |
