This came up in a game where Magnus got his siphon magic denied and I needed to put another blessing on him on the quick. Can he cast force without having a force weapon?

you only get the force power if you have a force weapon.

Thought his weapon had force...

Confirmed. His weapon has Force.

OP got saved by coincidence.

The answer to your question is NO. The only way to get the Force power is to have a Force weapon.

That said. Magnus DOES have a Force weapon

Yes, beware, my crisis suits are gonna start casting force like crazy! Beware the melee tau!**

Melee Tau? You mean an Allied Detachment of Orks who have embraced the Greater Good, right?

No, he means wait for the supplement The Gathering Storm IV - The Return of the Demiurge, where the Tau suddenly show up with some much needed melee allies.

Plastic Squats CONFIRMED!

Melee Tau? You mean Crisis suits modeled with electro whips & shields using Canoptek Wraith rules to represent "prototype" melee Tau? Add tiny drone swarms as Scarabs and Broadside-sized "spiders" and you have the perfect melee addition to any Tau army.
