Being the ever vigilant player I am, I pulled the FAQ off of GW's site (from CA). Apparently, yet again, GW is changing the rulings for LOS. While no offense was intended, my apologies, farseerlum.
Evidently, and I must say I disagree with this, "vehicles are far too substantial to be obscured by creatures, even cavalry or bike-mounted troops." My biggest problem is how are we now to define "an ordinary model"? Space marines in power armor seem pretty substantial, but terminator armor is even more so...but, from the way this is worded, even if you had a squad of 10 termies standing base to base screening a vehicle, they stand their for naught. And what of a falcon zipping along behind a hill upon which stand a unit of guardians? I suppose, even if its even with heads of the guardians, that it is considered hull down and can be shot at? This is the sort of stuff that needs to be fixed in the 4th edition.
Another thought. They are considering the dreadnaught a vehicle in the example in the FAQ (presumable because it gets vehicle upgrades?)...I suppose a wraithlord, no less substantial, can be screened as its not a vehicle or is that yet another oversight by GW?
Ah, well...by the rules, I goofed.
