Can you cast JoTWW in the same turn the RP comes from a drop pod?

I ask this because of a passage in the BRB about casting psychic powers from reserve.

**Happyjew**

Is JotWW used at the start of the turn? If so, you cannot use it.

Ahhhh, thanks.

**Waaaghpower**

It's a witchfire attack, you can use it whenever you want to.

**Super Ready**

Errrr... not strictly true. You have to use it in the Shooting phase. I presume what you meant was, nothing like arriving from Reserves, Deep-striking or otherwise will prevent you from firing it.

Nothing funnier than a RP stepping out of a drop pod and casting jaws on a Riptide aaaaand it's gone.

Had a buddy at ATC this past weekend have two DPs with RP land at each end of his line of advancing Wraiths (12) with a Destroyer Lord. He Denied the Witch!! lol

I thought if a model arrives from deepstrike/reserves they can't generate warp charges that turn since they missed the opportunity too.

I don't have my book in front of me, but wouldn't this be one of those cases where two 'At the start of the turn / phase' things happen at the same time? If so the player whose turn it is can pick the order of execution. So he could have units arrive from reserve, then generate Warp Charges.

**Super Ready**

I'm not sure about the order - but from memory, there's nothing about generating Warp Charges that requires you to be on the board. You just can't actually use them because all the powers that would then use those Warp Charges would need line of sight, range, targeting or whatever other measurement. Force weapons also require you to land an Attack, so you have to be in combat first.

**SlaveToDorkness**

BRB says that you cannot cast start of turn powers if coming in from reserves, that's it.

**MarkyMark**

As to warp charges, it is not something you must do at the start of the turn, it is something that automatically happens so no being in reserve does not prevent this.

Fixed your BRB text. Pg. 67, second paragraph

Yes, you can use the power when you get out of the drop pod. It is a psychic shooting attack and counts as a shooting, which is allowed when you get out of a drop pod.

Start of turn IS start of Movement.
