So the change in the latest faq is this.

Change the third sentence to read:
‘Until the start of your next Psychic phase, add 1
to that model’s Strength, Toughness and Attacks
characteristics (if an attack hits a unit that has more
than one Toughness characteristic, use the unit’s lowest
Toughness characteristic when making the resultant
wound roll).’

So what does that really mean? If I have a Salamander on a bike with the Salamanders Mantle on him and cast Might of Hero's wouldn't his toughness be 7? If so when would a unit have multiple toughness to have to pick from? I just don't see where the change comes into play.

Help me out here folks!

It affects a single model, so if you cast it on, say, the Sergeant of a Marine Tactical Squad, you'd have one model of T5 and 1-9 of T4.

It means if you cast it on a tactical dude, he is T5, but everyone else in the unit is still T4, so you use T4.

It's there to basically make it useless to cast on multi model units.

You are right to wonder what it means because the FAQ is just reiterating the rule book.

It's just another BS clarification that people should have already been able to figure out by reading the rule book.

I'm sure you were hoping they changed the word "model" to "unit" so the spell had some other use but buffing vehicles to toughness 9. IMO the space marine psychic powers are flipping terrible. We don't need any clarification as to how they work - we get how they work - they suck.

The rulebook has nothing on one unit with multiple toughness values, so this clarification was actually needed.

Indeed. Every instance where this can happen needs a bespoke ruling now, such as the Deathwatch Kill Team.

It would have been wiser to make this an universal rule via BRB errata.

I see, OK that makes sense. I wasn't hoping they changed model to unit, I normally only cast MOH on dreadnoughts that I am trying to get into close combat, never considered putting it on a tactical srg or a guy in a squad. Good to know. :p

T9 ironclad dreadnoughts are a force of power that people seem to want no where near their front lines lol.
