Well it's that moment again where i bring something up and unleash the rage in everyone
I read about a rare case that a flyer gave a unit a cover save, and no where in the rulebook/faq does it state that fliers can't do that.
Then i've noticed that flyers need true line of sight just like any other unit, which seems all right to me at first.
But then consider a flying monstrous creature. Taking that logic and RAW a flying monstrous creature can't shoot at a unit behind a wall that is the same height, or greater, than itself (Note: all the models provided by GW are at ground level except the new hive tyrant). Now that can seem quite dumb sounding, but what's worse is that there is no rule that units behind a flying monstrous creature won't be granted cover saves :/ . The problem with TLOS is that it can't work one way and not the other
Now before anyone thinks that i'm trying to mention this to be advantageous to myself, i would like to adopt a house ruling. I would vote to maintain true line of sight, and any flyers granting cover saves as already written in the rulebook. However flying monstrous creatures are to be "represented" (not necessarily physically) as being "x" inches off the ground (the same height as a flyers base stand)
So what does everyone else think, please vote
