lol, he can turn a C'tan into a squig, but cannot affect a Guard Company CO.

Zogwort does not bother with such insignificant creatures Or to put it in orkish: Bring out da big ladz!

Problem is that he can't affect certain of them as well..

Mephiston for example

I would love to see the rule errata's to

'can affect any IC, SC oe HQ choice '

But it's never going to happen

but that would lead to problems with a CCS or PCS being turned into one big squig

I seez no prublimz wiv dis ideah

Given that in the fluff he lost his eyeballs turning an entire IG company into squigs He still claims he 'meant to do dat ! '

Ork FAQ says you're wrong. The rules also say so, but its easiest to point you there...

From memory ICs could pick out specific models to attack in CC in 3rd ed, so it did have a reason back then - snipingout powerfists, mainly

actually, ork faq says you're wrong.

his ld is increased by mob rule, but to a maximum of 10 (which is normal limit to ld from mob rule).

cheers

Huh? How was I wrong?

Thats exactly what I said.

Yes. While the brb says leadership of the model, it specifically states in the ork codex (I believe under Weirdboys) that mob rule works for their psychic tests and their leadership score.

What about mobs of over twenty?

Same as mobs over 10

LD 10, and the mob also gains the Fearless USR. They don't lose LD 10, but it becomes irrelevant in most situations

Thanks, I've been wanting to ask that for ages

So they still have to take a psychic test?

Yes. Fearless does not exempt you from psychic tests.

'Fraid so.

No-one that I know of gets to autocast psychic powers.

A few people get powers that they can cast without a test, but they aren't 'psychic powers' per se.

The DoM's energy leaching field, for example, or the Ctan special abilities.

Something to do with the mark of Tzeentch?

Wouldn't know. I don't play chaos (either codex)

Does the Mark of Tzeentch let you autocast without a roll then? That would be cool, if true.

No, MoT just lets you cast a second power

GK with the Brotherhood Banner automatically cast their Force weapon power.

Typhus automatically casts all his powers.
