I need help. I have no idea how perils of the warp works. I have heard about it but have no idea when it applies or what happens when it does apply to a situation. If possible my psyker would be a eldar Farseer how would perils affect her.

Oh and not sure if this post would go in this section or rules section. Rules says new ways to improve so didn't think this would fit there.

Do you have a rulebook? I'd suggest checking there first. Look for 'Psykers' and/or 'Perils of the Warp' in the index.

There is also a forum called 'You Make Da Call' which is used for rules queries.

Look in the BRB.

This should be in You Make Da Call.

Perils of the warp is just a Ld Test. You fail, you take a wound, and no Psychic powers are activated that turn.

Incorrect, if you fail, then it isn't cast. You only take a wound on snake eyes or boxcars normally.

EDIT: Perils of the Warp is what is caused by rolling snake eyes or boxcars; the Ld test is a psychic test.

Still incorrect (well incomplete) you are able to take an inv save against it and must re-roll a successful save

Awsome much appreciated. If your psyker can use multiple powers a turn d you need to take the test everytime you use a power?

You must take the psychic test each time you cast a power (exceptions of course) also note you can't double tap a power (unless you can be bothered to argue that tzeentch sorcerers can).

Okay, lots of confusion here.

First off: This goes into YMDC. I'll alert a mod.

Second off: People need to go read page 50 of the BGB.

Perils of the Warp happens on the roll for your Psychic test. If you roll two 1's or two 6's, you suffer a Perils attack. It's an auto-wound, no cover or armor saves allowed (or FNP). Additionally, if you pass your invul save, you have to re-roll it.

This can happen every time you take a test. (Also, if you're talking Farseers, make sure to check out their equipment, specifically Ghost Helm)

This. Additionally, Perils of the Warp has no real effect on whether a power is cast or not - successful casting is determined by the result of the Ld. check. (In case that wasn't obvious).

Just to be a little more obvious: When you roll snake-eyes, the test is passed and the power activates. And even if the Psyker is killed by the Perils wound, the power will activate.

I purposefully left it incomplete to somewhat force the OP to read the rulebook.

Spitting out rules on command goes against the point of YMDC, which is to clear up rulings, as opposed to simply copying and pasting them out of a rulebook; the rulebook should always be the first port of call before YMDC, this forum is not simply a rules library.

I often see tonnes of people forget about the inv re roll it's second nature to me to mention it to anyone when ever perils comes up.

I don't blame you; as a user of a Tzeentch Daemon Prince in my CSM army, I sometimes have to remind people I actually get an invulnerable save against it whenever I roll it, nevermind the re-roll.

Also nice to see 'tonnes' instead of 'tons'

Anywho, back to the original topic.

My tonnes is bigger than your ton iirc

I started off with a thousand sons list, if I wasn't such an affable guy i could of cheated so much about psykers since no one knew the rules.

I'm British if that's what you meant by tonne being bigger than ton Our tonnes are most likely the same unless our scales are broken.

Technically, a Tonne IS more than a ton (about 200 pounds difference).
Though I think this thread is starting to get a little off topic...

Perils of the Warp clearly states in its measurements subheading that a tonne is a metric unit of mass at 1000 kg, or ~2205 lbs.

Fixed that for you
