Question: Does the Zoanthrope (or Hive Tyrant) need to take and pass both a regular shooting and psychic test in order to use the high powered Warp Blast? The regular blast does not need the psychic test, but the rules are vague about whether the creature takes the psychic test in addition to or instead of the regular roll. The old codex made it seem like it was instead of. Plus, it seems like it makes the high powered blast really difficult to use, considering its just a short range rail gun.

The power doesn't say it auto-hits, like the Ork shooting powers... so yes, you must make a Psychic test, then roll to hit.

I agree. A successful Psychic test + roll 'to hit' are both needed.

Yep, you hit it on the head--it's a short ranged anti-tank device.

Just like BoC on the TS champs.

Pass the psychic, then you have to hit...
