Can I use the "Warptime" psychic power to move a unit of terminators that used its teleport strike the same turn?

Depends on who you ask. As far as I'm aware we're still waiting on a faq for this.

Can you explain to me why it needs an FAQ? Nothing in the Teleport rules says you can't make any extra movement, it happens at the end so you can't naturally make any more movement. The psychic phase is after the movement phase and doesn't care about what happened in the movement phase. To me this sounds more like "I don't like it so I am going to claim it's unclear" more than anything else.

I agree with BaconCatBug. That´s the way I interpret it.

Simple, really.
Because people disagree on whether you can or cannot.
It's my impression that the majority seem to agree that it works, but it's not a majority by much.
Both sides have compelling arguments. That's a situation that really should get a faq.

I honestly can't think of a reason why you couldn't do it according to the rules.

Lets explain the issue fully.

Arriving from reinforcements places the following restriction
p177 sidebar,
"Units that are set up in this manner cannot move or advance further during the turn they arrive - thier entire movement phase is used in deploying to the battlefield - but otherwise they can act normally (shoot, charge, etc.) for the res of the turn"
This places an explicit restriction on moving for the remainder of the turn.

Warptime states
"That unit can immediately move as if it were it's movement phase"
Now this does not explicitly counter the restriction applied from reinforcements, hence the argument that it still applies.

I believe it implicitly gives permission (as you are essentially getting a new movement phase, overriding the previous one) so movement would be allowed.

Ah, thanks for the info. I can see why there is debate now.
