That is the official wording for the text of soulburst. It doesnt state a stipulation on what unit can soulburst but rather what units carry the strength from death trait. So from my understanding any unit can.

But in the faction focus they stated that they cannot do it on a wraithknight. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/06/09/warhammer-40000-faction-focus-ynnari/ so its very confusing indeed. By the book it says ANY unit but community says otherwise. If worse comes to worse, rule shark it

What Oaka said, exactly that.

Rules as written: it's allowed.
The psychic power has two conditions:
1. Select an Ynnari unit (WK)
2. Has it soulburst yet this turn (no).

Obviously it hasn't soulbursted yet because it can't, which is where I guess the RAI discussion comes in (it's not eligible because only units that possibly could Soulburst could be asked the question if they had soulbursted yet).

However, that is an interpretation.

From a rules writing point of view (also RAI of course) I wonder why they wouldn't just say 'select a unit with the SFD rule' instead of 'an Ynnari unit' if they didn't want the WK to soul burst.
But then, it's GW writing the rules.
Might be FAQ'd out.

Something inside of me hopes this psychic power is one of the reasons a naked WK is 80 points more expensive than an IK

.

This has me thinking, what are the best psykers for ynnari to give you optimal reroll chance to abuse word of the phoenix. It just made wraithknight a bit more appealing, especially if you can guarantee its cast every turn, 2 moves with a WK is just too good not to try and abuse atleast. we can still do jetbike spam as well as wave serpents, light them up from afar, move up with the WK and just go to town with sword and board and 2 star cannons, then soulburst to charge and then proceed to fight the next unit.

Mmk, im thinking about dropping the visarch as well for an eldrad just to have my psychic buffs on the field and just advance with what ive got.

Still looking for a solid replacement for Shining Spears and Storm Guardians, or even Kalibite Warriors. The Guard with Scythes and serpents are doing well for me in testing. Still not sure if i should try to fit a group of Dark Banshees or even Harlequins.
