for general unit screening, like when a marine captain is within 6 inches of a squad or what not and can't normally be shot at, hows that work for vehcles?

can for instance eldar jetbikes screen for vypers?

Yup, only terrain and vehicles can block LOS to another vehicle.

However, that being within 6" of another viable target is an additional rule and it works only for independant characters. A vyper isn't an IC, so this rule cannot protect it either. Also note that "viable" means that at least one weapon of the shooting squad has to be able to damage that alternative target. You cannot protect a chaplain by moving a land raider next to him if the opponent has no weapons which can harm the land raider in that squad which he wants to use in order to kill the chaplain. You could block LOS with that land raider though.

What if i get a squad of jetbikes, and then get that eldar character who rides a vyper within 6 inches?, what then? i mean if you can hurt a vyper you can easily hurt a jetbike.

New Question

Ok, besides, say a grav tank, what kinds of things could screen for an eldar support weapon battery? Now its my understanding that you don't actualy shoot at the weapons but at the crew, in that case if i have a guardian squad in front of the support weapons do they screen for the crew and keep the big guns safe???

You sure about that? I mean, i was pretty sure that if an enemy unit was infront of another enemy unit you couldn't shoot the one in behind. Now its LOS vai mini bases?
