Not sure if this is the correct place for this or not, but - What happens when a mindstrike missile (or 2) hits a squad of paladins.

the rules stake (paraphrasing) that in a squad with brotherhood of psykers, the character will take a perils hit if perils of the warp occurs, or a randomly selected non-character model if their are no characters.

But a paladin squad is ALL characters. Does this mean that each paladin touched by the blast takes a hit? Can this be "look out sir"ed?



Reason I am asking is I am running a Draigo wing in a tournament, and I know somebody else will be running a similar list but with 3 GK storm ravens.... and want to address potential conflicts before they come up.

The squad is a single psyker. There is only one psyker under the template. Only one perils is suffered.

If the Mindstrike missile said "for every hit a psyker suffers from a Mindstrike missile they suffer a perils...." then it would be one perils for each Paladin under the template. But as it has the wording it does its only one perils.

I read it the same way now I'm home with both my Codex and rulebook in front of me. In fact it seems more beneficial in Paladin squads since they are all multi-wound characters, which potentially means you can spread the Perils wounds around on a model by model basis.

Grey Teamplar is correct, you only get single Perils per missile hitting the paladin squad and that Perils applies to random Paladin.
If you get hit by muliple mindstrikes, each Perils is randomized separately.
