Hi guys,

I was hoping to gain some insight into a query we've run into in our games here. As I play GK, I have a lot of psychic business going on every turn and the more I play, the more questions I end up with.

If you don't mind, can you enlighten me on the below?

1) Librarian joins squad of terminators. Librarian casts force, who gets it in the squad? Just him, or do the termies benefit?
2) Similar question, a psyker in a squad all armed with force weapons casts force, is this one cast for the whole squad to gain the power?
3) Can you cast blessings (hammerhand/sanctuary namely) on a different squad to the caster?

Cheers for the helps people! Sorry for the basic questions, just can't get my head round it!

1/2. The Force power will tell you who benefits from it when successfully cast.
3. Possibly. If the power says it is a blessing with a range of "X" then it can target any friendly unit within range. If the power says it targets the Psyker, then it is casted on the psyker.

If force effect the unit casting it the librarian or other IC that has joined a unit is considered a part of that unit for all rules purposes. Anything cast on the unit is cast on the WHOLE unit.

1) Force explicitly targets "the Psyker and his unit".
2) See 1)
3) See the powers description, each blessing has a unique description which might or might now allow you to target other units. Both Sanctuary and Hammerhand target "the psyker and his unit".

TBH you should take half an hour and read through the powers properly, they're for the most part very precise on what they allow and how they're to be used.
