I used to playing the SM/TL cover rules (you can
see and can be seen only if you're at the edge of a
building or wood), it's the most realistic way of
using covers in my opinion.
My Eldar opponent used this rule to send his Aman
Aspect Warriors against one of my armoured
detachement (on Overwatch orders) without beeing
shooted : they were hiding in each building/wood
they could find.
The Epic 40k way is easier and faster (like the
Dark Side of the Force, Luke ;) but I don't like it
: how a unit can be targeted if it is hidden in a
building?
