=== Cover Saves ===

A tree WILL NOT stop a lascannon blast under any circumstances.  This is an inherent problem with the current 40k ruleset that bears addressing.  Cover does absolutely benefit those using it however, and the following rules are possible solutions to this issue:

*Cover will not be a distinct save to take instead of armour.  There will be two types of cover: Visual Cover, and Protective Cover
**Visual Cover will have a numerical value (a low one).  This number is subtracted from any firer's BS when targeting the unit in cover (to a minimum of one, doesn't apply to blast weapons or enemies within 12") when the unit in cover goes to ground.  Otherwise, half the value is used (rounding up).  Examples include forests, Night Fighting, area terrain etc.
**Protective Cover will have an armour value.  When going to ground, the full value can be added to the users armour.  Otherwise, half the value is used (rounding up).

Examples: 
* Guardsman in Area terrain (standard): Visual Terrain 1
* Stealthsuit in Forest: Visual Terrain 2+1 (for shrouded/stealth)
* Aegis Line: Protective terrain 3
* Etc.
