So I was inspired by another thread about special Leadership rules in 40k to get around to something I've been planning on doing, but haven't really gotten around to: compiling a list of the Psychology rules in 40k. Back in the day, starting with Rogue Trader, Warhammer 40,000, like Warhammer Fantasy Battle, had a list of psychology rules detailing how units could behave on the battlefield. Although a separate section of Psychology rules disappeared with the 3rd edition of 40k, the Psychology rules have simply migrated to other parts of the rulebook.
