Can psykers cast spells from vehicles? Specifically, Psyker Battle Squads in Chimeras.

Something I am not sure on, Shield of Sang for Ba's I was thinking about, is that possible as well? sorry to hijack your thread bud but hoping we both can get a answer

I think it depends on the power, for example boons may be allowed but others not, but then again, I'm not sure

Witchfire psychic shooting attacks are counts-as assault weapons and can be fired from vehicles in the same way as any other ranged weapon. p68/69 in the psychic section of the rules is pretty clear on this.

Powers that require LOS (but aren't WitchFire) can't, as they re unable to use th fire points.

IIRC Weaken Resolve cannot be cast from inside.

For clarification, as far as I know the rule is ( correct me if I am wrong, maybe I am still mixing up with 5th ed.) :

> PSA powers :
Yes can be cast from a vehicle ( though it 'uses a fire point') . Of course if the vehicle has no fire point and not open-topped, you cannot cast !

> non-PSA powers that requires line of sight :
NO can NOT cast from a vehicle ( even if it has fire point, even if it is open-topped). Exception is if the target is inside the vehicle OR is the vehicle itself , here you should be able to cast.
Ex : any benediction/malediction

> non-PSA powers that do NOT requires line of sight :
yes can cast from a vehicle. Any distance is measured from the vehicle's hull.
Ex: GK's warp quake

I don't know if Weaken resolve is a PSA or not. Is it ?

Note : it seems that special rules / equipment usually follow rules similar to the "non-PSA powers".
For example, the Big Mek 's KFF doesn't need line of sight so it is still effective from within a vehicle. On the other hand., Coteaz's "Ive been expecting you' needs line of sight and can not work if Coteaz is in a vehicle

Yes, that summary is pretty much right. The only part that needs fixing is that the exception in part two (non-PSA that require LOS) is not only the unit in the vehicle, but also the vehicle itself.
