Terrain cover rules

[GlitzFan]

If my unit if 5 models are standing in a wyldwood they get cover bonus.

 

But if my 5 units are all standing bases to against the loonshrine do they also get the bonus? Technicallythey aren't within the terrain, they are next to it.

There is another rule called "obstacle" It does only count against shooting but if all models are within 1" of the Loonshrine and the enemy unit is closer to the runeshrine that to the unit next to the runeshrine (so the shrine is between the shooting unit and the unit in 1" to the shrine), but it gives cover in that case.

OBSTACLES
Some terrain features are obstacles
that block attacks to targets that lie
beyond them. When this is the case,
it will be noted on the warscroll for
the terrain feature.
When a missile weapon targets an
enemy unit that has all of its models
within 1" of an obstacle, then the
target unit receives the benefit
of cover if the attacking model is
closer to the obstacle than it is to the
target unit.

Not to add more confusion... but is "Obstacle" a keyword on the warscroll?  I can't seem to find any terrain the says "Obstacle"...  Does anyone have an example?

The Terrain Warscroll state this in the Description with the following sentences:

• "It is an obstacle"
• "A set of xxx is an obstacle"

It depends on if the terrain has cover or not. The warscroll will say it provides or it is something you agreed to with your opponent. Check what the rules say for terrain pieces or work with your opponent on what you are going to do with each piece.
