If a brood of 3 zoanthropes targets a unit in the shooting phase, does the opponent gets a deny the witch per zoanthrope?

Since they test individually to activate their psychic powers it makes sense to roll deny the witch individually. Or is it just 1 deny the witch roll to prevent the entire brood from shooting?

I would say 3 deny the witch, as they are considered as individual psykers

Each of them is a psyker , so the enemy has a chance to deny for each power used on them. This also means that you can have different powers in the brood.

Thanks, it also made sense to me to do 3 deny the witch rolls wanted to make sure

Yes, this is really cool, with 3 zooies you can make really fun combinaison of psychic powers

Is in the tyranid FAQ, all 3 roll separately for Ld and all 3 attacks are resolved separately, including DtW and perils of warp.

To be sure, quote:

Q: Do all Zoanthropes in a brood have to use the same psychic power in
the Shooting phase? (p44)
A: No.

Q: When a Zoanthrope brood uses a psychic power, do I need to take a
Psychic test for each individual Zoanthrope in the brood, or just one test
for the whole brood? (p44)
A: Each Zoanthrope in the brood must take a separate Psychic
test. Note that this means that a wound caused by Perils of the
Warp will be allocated to the Zoanthrope that suffered the
attack.

As another branch of this same idea, if you have 2+ zoans with Puppet Master, could you target the same model (i.e. a landraider) since PM states that the effect dissipates immediately upon resolution of the affected model's shooting?

Yup a roll and deny for each one. For puppet master I would say each one could possess it as you are the controlling player and decide which power to resolve first.

Another dirty trick is 3 zoeys with psychic shriek in a spore. Makes the doom look like he plays nice.

I like 2x 3 podded Zoey and DoM podded crashing near each other and shrieking everything in sight. Eats just about everything alive. Give all of them shriek (even DoM for 2x trollface a turn). Even having to roll to hit for shriek, the power is so useful that it easily makes up its points.
