I had a small match my my bro (wolfmerc) and his CSMs, and i had a librarian locked in cc with 5 TLC chosen and a lord. I cast Endurance on my librarian on the utrn i charged, and it was my turn. I wanted to cast endurance on myself, and i check the rules and there was nothing that endorsing or restricting me from blessing myself in CC. My brother was not sure about, since he is concentrated about the cc. Rules say that a blessing can affect someone in cc, but what if the caster is in cc himself?

You have permission to cast a blessing at the start of the turn.

If the caster is in CC, and "Rules say that a blessing can affect someone in cc" then the blessing can affect the caster even if he is in CC.

To further answer what I think you might ask next - nothing in the assault rules prevent you from casting psychic powers if the psyker is locked in combat, UNLESS said powers are psychic shooting attacks, as they count as a shooting attack would.

Such a rule would give Grey Knights a migraine...

psykers can manifest even if they are falling back or have gone to ground,

There is no restriction in the rulebook on casting psychic powers while in combat, except of course for Witchfires and other Psychic Shooting Attacks, which count as shooting.

Yes you can.

Of course you would have to wait until the beginning of your next turn to cast it

Well that is what he said...

hmm, interesting.

how about Njals special tempest abilities? do they go off unhindered if he is in combat? and affect units around him, including the unit he is locked in combat with?

Njal's power always works, at the start of his turn of course and ending at the end of the game turn.

This is wrong, only result 3 is limited to ending that game turn. The rest go on until the next dice roll for that power.
