Tyranid Question?

[Chicop76]

If you have a venomthorpe within 6" of a gaunt squad that assault's. If the person overwatches within 8" of the gaunts, the gaunts will have a 4+ cover save right. +5 from venomthorpe and +1 from the d-grenade effect.

FAQ states any shooting attack for the venoms, so 5+ regardless, so if the D grenades give you a cover save for shooting I don't see why you wouldnt get a 4+.

As far as i know, gaunts don't have access to defense grenades, unless you are talking about some other mechanic that i'm not aware of

Venomthorpes gives d-grenades to units 6" near it.

the question is: does the cover save given by defensive grenades and/or venomthrope stack? I don't have anything handy to check, and cant remember off the top of my head, but i have a feeling the defensive grenades are a flat "unit receives 5+ cover save". If so then the venomthropes need to give an additive cover save (like stealth, shrouded, or simply "plus to cover save") for that to work.

I could go with this assessment.

The venomthorpe gives a + 5 cover save. D-Grenades give models stealth if being shot at within 8". Said unit only gets a +4 if within 8" of a firing unit.
