Yes but the modifiers are listed above it. Which excpicitly state what modifiers are for DTW. I would say runic weapons, unless FAQed again work with blessings.

The rule doesn't say that those specific modifiers don't apply. It says that no modifiers apply.

There is a significant difference between arguing RAW vs RAI, and trying to take advantage of a typo.

Ha well im glad then took time out of the day for that. And only that.

They also updated the card for banishment to correctly say 1 warp charge.

Other than that folks, there are no more rules questions. Everything is answered, everything is fine, move along.

If a Rune Priest purchases the Wolf Tail Talisman (DTW on a 5+) does it now stack with the runic weapon (+1 on rolls of DTW)? If so, that would allow Rune Priest to DTW on 3+ (Psyker +1, Runic weapon +1, Wolf Tail Talisman +1)?

Just FYI, corrected SW FAQ up today, "fourth" sentence now

Where does it say the a Wolf Tail Talisman is DTW? I can't find it.

Wolf Tail Talismans haven't been changed by the new rules or the new (or new-new) FAQ.

It operates independently of DtW. "If a model with a Wolf Tail Talisman or the unit he is with is affected by an enemy psychic power, roll a d6. On the roll of 5+ that power is nullfied." DtW stops the power from going off, it doesn't happen after the model/unit has been affected. So WTTs give a second shot at shutting down psyker powers (but only those targeting the wearer or his unit) - always have, still do. I expected this to get nerfed (or straight-up removed), but it's still the same as ever, for the time being.

Always has been worth the 5 points, IMO, now even moreso.

Yeah , next codex it will probs just be something to do with DTW
