So surprisingly they actually FAQed Ahrimans staff he can now cast the same witchfire 3 times a turn. Can anyone say Psychic Shriek or Doombolt X3 ouch.

Still don't see anything on how spell familiars will work though hmmmmm.

spell familiar lets you re-roll psychic tests. looks pretty clear to me.

Lol, if it works this way it just became one of the best pieces of wargear in the game.

Currently, there is no reason to think it does not work this way.

I'm happy for it to stay that way then i guess. I just assumed it would be different because of all the changes to the Psychic phase but re-reading the rules for the familiar and the new Psychic phase a suppose it should still just work the same.

Well Spell familiars are only available to Marines not Daemons and since everyone bar the CSM daemon prince perils on any double I wouldn't really say its ripe for abuse.

" may re-roll failed Psychic tests " Them being rare doesn't stop them from being too good?

Don't get me wrong they're great i'm just saying they're hardly ripe for abuse if the only one that can make any real use of it for a more reliable Daemon factory is our Daemon princes and for our other psykers its just making our powers that much more reliable and even then it was still easier to pass a Psychic test for most of them in 6th edition anyway. Add to that it doesn't protect from Perils unless you fail your test AND roll a double and its not really something i'd call OP
