They're Back! New Tau FAQ Is Up

Wouldn't those same rulings apply to Seekers and SMS, since they have the same rules, too?

Personally, if Wargear provides a Cover Same, they are in it and touching it as much as they would be area terrain.

That would be nice, but I don't think GW likes us that much! The FAQ for the Tau doesn't say anything about ignoring wargear cover saves or obscured targets. Last I checked, the only cover saves that our missiles ignore are the ones based on LOS. Jink, Flat Out, smoke launchers, KFF: they all still work. And the impaler cannon has better strength and better AP than smart missiles, but why would I be bitter about that???

The suckers only have a bolter's inch range & Hive Guard only have Firewarrior saves.  Shoot the B**CHES with missile pods from pulse rifle range and KILL them.
