Clearly they're solipists and just denied it's existence hard enough.

Which..Oddly kinda works with the warp.

I think the thing about it is that they aren't just flinging it ala physics, an object in motion and all that, but that it's a constant rate of speed by forcing it with your mind, like a constant push.

You deny the powers behind the object and it drops, sure it's physics breaking but then so is the warp/

I want to know more about psychic power generation. Will we still have to roll? Will we roll all dice at once and get to choose a power if we roll a double like WHFB?

I hope there aren't 'power dice' in this new phase, or if there is, that psykers generate more for that player.

If I have to make 2d6 work for my whole Tzeentch Daemons army I won't be happy.

Or perhaps the Warpflame (chance to give enemies FNP) rule will make up for Tzeentch Daemons owning the psychic phase, as they should

The page listed 1D6 + each characters mastery level in the army.

It is d6 for one player and you get +1dice per psyker level , so a demon army can easily have d6+10 or more power dice. that will easily overpower other armies ability to cast stuff and they are going to be casting so much that people will run out of dice. Low rolls on power dice are going to be the worse thing , because it is hard to stop someones 10+dice when you yourself have 2-3.

They don't in the fluff, the only things that's hard to hit them with are things like telepathy (As Eliphas finds out), things that physically affect them or hurt them go through easy, because the whole 'mental presence' in the warp does gack against something forced into the physical plane that hurts you.

Which is why I said at least Malediction debuff type stuff. I'm not saying psykers just spontaneously fail to manifest around Tau. I'm saying all the abilities like Mind War, Puppet Strings, The Horror, etc just (for lack of a better term) wouldn't have a target if you tried to use them on Tau.

But I suppose trying to do stuff like that on the tabletop would open all kinds of crazy rules complication like Necrons being immune to mutation and etc.

Not if you're in the open. Maybe a jink save though.

I am a little concerned, playing Sisters of Battle. Being that one of their main missions in life is burning psychers I can't see them having much to do during during this phase but weather it out. Or while not pshychic powers it may be when their acts of faith are handled. It will be interesting to see.

It may make that crossbow combi bolter a popular accessory for the Sisters though.

Also that Adamantium will might be better for defending.

Actually it's better for them since it means they can finally deny beneficial psyker abilities, the worst of the lot.

It's not really your mind as much as I DENY IT WITH MY SKULL!

That is assuming that they remove deny the witch. It may be possible that the defender can choose between using their dice to try to cancel a power entirely, or to buff a unit's DTW saves.

So this could be the beginning of the Conjuraction and the Maelstrom Psychic Power types, with Daemonology.........
