Giving a save to all units may seem powerful to some, and you will have
to create special "special rules" to deal with situations such as
when a nobz gets under the shield (do you allow two saves?), and as
to whether you will protect war engines (a gargant with a save?).

I think a better solution (and more toned down) would be to say that
any unit within 6 cm (including the dragsta) is treated as being in
cover, even when their not (no added bonus if they are). You might
still want to exclude war engines from the benefits.
