I've read multiple times that this is a pretty good combination, but when I told my friend about this he said it wouldn't work because of the timings of shooting attacks.

If I place my Primaris Psyker within a squad of Sanctioned Psykers within a chimera, and then use Weaken Resolves + Psychic Shreik he said it won't work because the LD value won't be lowered due to timings.

Is this true? I can't figure this one out.



tl:dr LD value isn't lowered yet because it happens at the same time as Psychic shreik due to shooting attack rules.

All shots from a unit happen at the same time

Pg 13 under which model can fire

Your friend is correct.

I wish I could take your side, but I use Psychic Shriek a lot. That's how it works. Perhaps it's time to split your Primaris off and attach to another unit?

The Combination still works, but only if those two psychic powers come from different units.

Alreet was curios, Ta guys.

First, if the squad is in a Chimera then it would not be able to use Weaken Resolve as it is not a PSA.

As far as Timing goes. The Weaken is used first before the squad shoots and reduces the LD for the remainder of the turn. Then the Shriek is used and uses the new lowered LD.

Ah ok so it would work any other time, if they weren't embarked.
