Rules Question: LOS and vehicles and cover

[Gornn65]

So we played a game the other day and one of the players had his Trukk in the rear, but drove his Bike in between the Trukk and his target.

The shooter in the Trukk was high enough that it could see over the Bike, but we've been sort of nebulous with where Orks shoot from, we've just been saying that they shoot from the vehicle edge, since the orks could be moving around on the trukk.

So the question came up whether or not the target should have cover from the bike, since it covered "up to half' of the target vehicle. In the end, we rolled a D6 and said 1-3 it gains cover, 4-6 it doesn't.

But if the Ork model was high enough to see over the bike in your game, how would you have ruled it?

Without seeing the actual setup it's hard to say. I think the approach you took sounds extremely sensible.

If you can see over the bike (meaning you have LoS), but it obscures part of your target, then that sounds like cover to me.

Is the essential question whether intervening models can provide cover? I don't remember whether that's clearly stated (either way) in the rules.
