Can the deathleaper reduce ld on gkss? Does it count as one psyker?

Doesn't Deathleaper's ability only affect characters?

Deathleapers rule affects a "single enemy character"

What they mean by that is anybody's guess.

That could mean Independent Character, but it just says character, so who knows what they mean by that.

"Its after me" can ONLY affect characters. It has no special ability vs psykers.

Well I'm referring to the squad acting on the justicar's ld for psychic tests as a single psychic unit. Is it a character?

I think the rule is intended to reduce the leadership of an IC, you could argue it could be used against a GK Justicar, but then I would just use the reg Ld for the rest of the squad.

IC's are a bit limited as you have models like Mephiston that is not an independent character or a Hive Tyrant that is monstrous creature. Hell or upgrade characters for squads.

'Character' is a very ambiguous term that isn't clearly defined (if at all) in the rule book, so I'll have to agree with DeathReaper.

Independent Character models
Special Character (Unique) models
Upgrade Character (unit leader) models

Any one of these can be affected by a Deathleaper. Characters are detailed on pages 47-49 of the main rulebook.

Can I get a rules Quote where you got this from?

I couldn't find anything that let unique, non IC models, be counted as characters.

All I found on P.49 was special characters can be Independent or Upgrade characters. This is saying that Special Characters are either Upgrade or Independent characters. It makes no provision for non IC, non Upgrade models.

A Justicar is an Upgrade character, and so while alive you can affect his Ld and, as the psychic test is taken by the Justicar, it would affect the psychic test.

Probably a waste, though. As you have to nominate the character you want to affect and cant change when they die.

Special characters can also be upgrade or Independent, but dont HAVE to be.
