Just a simple timing question, If a nid psycher perils casting catalyst (FnP) on a 2 would it get the FnP save? The power goes off but he takes a wound, it happens at the same time, and is the controlling players turn, so the player should be able to choose the order of events. Since FnP is the only way to ignore a perils wound as it is not a Save. Or am I missing a timing rule somewhere on this.

Don't think so, see the sequence table on page 67:

...
3. Take Psychic Test
The Psyker must now take a Psychic test. If the test is failed, the psychic power fails. If a double 1 or double 6 is rolled, the Psyker suffers Perils of the Warp, which is resolved immediately.
...
5. Resolve Psychic Power
Assuming that the Psychic test was passed and the power was not nullified by a Deny the Witch roll, it is now resolved.

As the Perils result is immediately resolved at step 3, and the power itself doesn't come into effect until step 5, you couldn't benefit from FNP.

What he said ^.

When you take the wound, you don't have FNP. Further, if it kills you the power doesn't resolve - since you died before getting to the Resolve Power step.

Perils rule states the power is still resolved even if the Psyker is killed.
Obviously FNP wouldn't help much at that stage...

Sorry - forgot about that. Depending on the power, though, it still might not do anything.
edit: IE any Novas, things like Foreboding, Perfect Timing, etc.

Thanks guys. Just popped up while watching batrep's this morning and was pulling a blank on it. Had missed the table on 67.
