Heya; sure it's been asked before, but just want to have it clarified I'm reading it right.

The FAQ had a question asked about the order of how Psychic Powers are manifested with the conflict of Deep Strike occurring simultaneously. The answer said the owning player can decide in which order they occur.

Does this mean you can Deep Strike and cast powers? I don't think so, but the answer to me seems a bit confusing.

Thanks in advance!

No, you can't, unfortunately. You can decide the order to do things, but you still can't cast them.

Is there additional information elsewhere that indicates it cannot be done? FAQ or a page number?

Just curious.

It does not.

The FAQ you are likely referring to was asking about the timing issue of 'at the start of turn' and 'at the start of the movement phase' and nothing more. While it does use some examples to highlight rules that use these terms, coming in from reserves and casting blessings, they are just examples. The answer goes ahead to address only the timing of such an action and nothing more, pointing you to a page in the rule book which addresses how to resolve simultaneously actions. No where in the question or answer do they even address the restrictions laid out on casting psychic powers on the turn you arrive from reserves.

Anyone who states it is overturning page 125 is making an assumption that is not outlined in the question at all. That assumption is that the unit coming from reserve is the same one casting the psychic power. As it is not outright stated we would have to look at the question in a way that does not breach any already existing restrictions on casting psychic powers. This means it is far more plausible for the psyker to have already been on the table in previous turns, as that wouldn't create a violation of an already existing rule and would still fit the question being asked and the answer provided.

So you are correct, it is not giving you permission to ignore page 125.

You may also wish to check this recent thread, which has a discussion of this issue, among other things.
