I was diving into some dakka achives last night and found these statements.

Are these the current clarifications for Eldar?

1. Mind War uses the MODEL's unmodified Leadership value not the UNIT's value. This has been argued to death but the words speak plainly, Mind War those pesky Nobs or any other model that has its leadership value modified (except those damn sisters and their dirty book), it IS worth noting that as a "shooting attack" that causes wounds Mind War does allow the target to take cover or invul saves.

2. The new Space Marine Psychic hood (and possibly the Space Wolves staff) only function when a model within 24" casts a power. If you place your Psykers into a tank (such as a Falcon) then the Psyker is no longer on the table and as such not a "model" when casting. The hood can only target the tank (which is not casting a power) thus granting you complete immunity to the hood until you disembark. ** The Deamonhunters Hood is worded differently and works since it only cares about if a power was used somewhere, but strangely enough only gets to BE USED when a >model< casts a power. So enjoy your complete immunity all around, at least until you get shot out of the tank.

1. I do not see the word "unmodified" in Mindwar.

2. Range is counted from the firepoint (or not at all). If the model's range is 24" (NOT 24') for the power, it can be canceled by the hood.

As I read it.

edited the 24' to 24"

1. Mindwar issue is debated till blue in the face. Both sides have valid points on model leadership vs mob rule modified. Agree before game or roll a D6 and move on.

2. Hood can still, trying to debate it will most likely be looked as a TFG move.

1) Mobrule replaces the leadership value of the Weird Boy with that of the mob, so you test against that for Mindwar. Mindwar never states "unmodified" from what i know.

The very same rule that lets the psyker cast out of a vehicle allows the psychic hood to nullify the power:

Thanks for responses. I wanted clarification. I didn't play it that way, but with the stumble upon this I had to know.

You referring to Ragewinds thread I assume?

Theres several things on there (at least in the Dirty/Useful Tips and Tricks section) which I really don't agree on, those two being some of them.
