And how would a vehicle go about entering a building?

VERY.

CAREFULLY.

(Or, passing the dangerous terrain check to get into area terrain)

It's just gonna melt its way in there?

It'll use the doorbell first. Maybe ask if it's secretly a Ruins waiting to happen, too.

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, why not just say it ignores cover entirely and be done with it

Because area terrain is an inviolable god mode in 40k. Two solid feet of reinforced concrete has nothing on shrubbery.

Too bad vehicles don't get any benefit from area terrain, only LoS blocking terrain whether its area or not. Only way a vehicle can be obscured against a seeker missile now is if it has a rule always making it obscure (KFF, psyker power, smoke launchers, etc.)

Ah, true. I'd forgotten that even if they're inside area terrain, they still need 50% stuff blocking the LoS to get cover saves. Which, by the new ruling, doesn't really matter now.

It's pretty absurd, area terrain may have its uses but god damn...

Shrubbery? No wonder the Knights who until recently said 'Ni' wanted so many!

I think the no cover unless in area terrain is to make it line with the Tyranid Hiveguard weapon, which works the same way

[Twinlinked]

I like it, just means that if you have a wall in the way the missile flies around the wall, but if you are in the woods you can still hide in a rabbit hole and maybe be ok..

Earlier someone said that drones still give KP because the 'Ard Boyz rules say so. I can't find these rules, anyone know where they are?

A.
