If the aspiring champion of a unit has the Collar of Khorne, and the unit is hit with a template-based psychic attack, (ie..smite, wind of chaos, etc) would the champion be able to nullify the attack with his collar, or would the template have to be specifically touching him for his collar to work?

Do the shooting rules that allow me to choose casualties from under a template apply?

Seriously...nobody knows?

I want to say that for the Collar of Khorne that the template has to include the wearer in it's field effect for it to work. At least going by the RAW, which says "...psychic abilities that target the wearer or include him in their area of effect are nullified and will not work on a d6 roll of 2+." Though I'm guessing you already knew this and my lack of experience with the v4 rules precludes any other helpful advice.

Any weapon that follows the normal casuatly procedure affects the entire unit, not just the models under the template/blast (you can pull casualties from anywhere in the unit, with a few restrictions). Therefore, it can certainly be said that the character is affected/attacked by such powers and would get to use his collar of khorne.

Ah, see! I thought I might be wrong and it looks like I was.
