Ground Vehicles, LoS Block vs. Obscurity

[Rokkn]

A). Can a unit leader be in base contact with a ground vehicle and shoot through to the other side at an in range target if he can physically see that target? Example the gap between the aa5 model and it's base.

B) Even though you can physically see a unit behind a atst. The atst blocks LoS per Silhouette rules?

No, as a Ground Vehicle blocks LOS. A unit leader in base contact with a piece of terrain will prevent it from granting cover to obscured minis, but does not allow the unit leader to draw LOS through terrain that blocks it.

Note that the A-A5 Speeder Truck has the Hover: Ground keyword and is treated as a Ground Vehicle for the purposes of LOS. There is effectively no "gap" between the model and its base; its silhouette blocks LOS.

Yes, Ground Vehicles block LOS as if they were area terrain the volume of their silhouette.
