My copy of the new Eldar codex in the Harlequin descriptions says "A Shadowseer is a psyker and has the Veil of Tears Psychic power.  It follows the same rules as Warlock powers (see page 20-21)."

Now page 20 has the fluff for Iyanden and page 21 has some miscellaneous rules about wargear and exarch powers, but no mention of Warlock powers.  Warlock powers are described on page 28.

I understand this as being a typo--that the authors of the codex meant "as Warlock powers (see page 28)" and that this is intended to mean that Veil of Tears is always on, doesn't require a test, can't be stopped by a psychic hood.

Is anybody going to give me a hard time and say that Veil of Tears requires a test because the RAW contains the wrong page reference?

Of course not.

Some buttmunch will, but then his mom will tell him to stop playing with his toys and eat his dinner...

thankfully those people are few and far between.

I wouldnt worry about it.

I had a long conversation with the GW staff and from GWQH VoT works like a Warlock power (ie no test required) and come with the Shadowseer. According to them its not a typo but they got te page reference in te rule book wrong.
