I tried searching for this, here and on Google, and was surprised to not find anything.

In the book it says you generate warp charges at the start of each turn, and each turn means 'player' turn. Does this
mean my psyker generates his warp charges at the start of the enemy turn?

I am wondering if I should be wanting
to keep a warp charge in reserve just in case I get charged in the enemy phase, or if its something I don't need
to worry about because I will get new charges in the enemy turn.

Yes you'd generate them each player turn but I can't think of any powers that let you use them in your opponent's turn.

"Turn" is player turn, so you do get them back at the start of your opponent's turn. So if you get charged and have a Force Weapon for instance, you'll have Warp Charges to activate it with. Or if a Farseer gets hit by the Perils Missile thing, he'll have Warp Charges to use Ghost Helm with.

you generate warp charges at the start of the enemy turn as well as the start of your own turn.

To my knowledge the only thing you can do with the warp charges in the enemy turn is activate a force weapon, since according to the FAQ you cannot use a witchfire power in overwatch.

Force weapons.

Still not a psychic power, but a good point for their utility.

Ok, that's what I thought! I was mainly concerned there was some other rule in the book that prevented generation of warp charges in the the enemy's turn, but it sounds like that's not the case.

Thanks!

There are some BA and SW powers that kick off in the opponents phase iirc.
