The aegis has specific rules that trump the generic rule. Pg. 114. terrain type. Battlefield debris (defense lines). Pg. 104 defense lines- follow all the same rules for barricades and walls. Pg. 104. Barricades and walls has a 4+ cover save. The generic rule you quote is for when there is no specific rule. Specific rules always trump generic.

A Primaris (or even better allied battle brother marine librarian) could also be a good addition for one blob, more psychic defense and potential for tasty powers on the blob itself.sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515454463270943871.post-7221800747824900122012-07-12T04:12:17.586-07:002012-07-12T04:12:17.586-07:00Also, Straken is a s6 monstrous creature when he p...Also, Straken is a s6 monstrous creature when he punches, not s3 with a chainsword.Mike Brandt; mvbrandt@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818846784767602047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515454463270943871.post-83546995733117362102012-07-12T01:57:17.988-07:002012-07-12T01:57:17.988-07:00A few things:
