Dear Games Workshop

Dear Games Workshop,
Please change the Special Rule "Ignores Cover" to ignore cover. It was, and still is, silly when my Scout Sentinel made it's cover save against a penetrating hit from the enemy heavy flamer.


Thank you,
Turner

1: I don't think they will acknowledge this 2: they can't change it now and 3: that's helping you is it not.

I have to take another look at templates I forgot the ignored cover in 5th

Wait, what's the problem?

Huh?

Nope, you're just cheating/haven't read the rules properly/are TFG.

My Scout Sentinel made it's cover save (in ruins mind you) against a pen from a heavy flamer. Grant it to make things worse the enemy failed the charge because of the whole charging through cover but the flamer template has the special rule called "Ignores Cover" which ironically, did not ignore cover.... I wish Games Workshop would change the special rule "Ignores Cover" to actually ignore cover.

Is this just because it says "Ignores wounds"? I think the meaning to everyone on that is pretty clear.

Interesting, maybe you should read "Ignores Cover". Page 38 if you need help.

Yes, however a very slippery slope as I'm sure we have all found... The whole RAW vs RAI.

It does need an errata, but it's hardly the end of the world. Houserule it if it is a problem, wait for GW to do it if it isn't.

Also instead of writing a post on an internet forum it would be more productive writing to GW.
