Hello all,

I was just wondering but aren't Warlock councils kind of terrifying to charge due to the massive series of kills due to the Destructor power? I used to use them on the Jet Bikes and just incinerate units, but now with the Over Watch rules this is even better?

Lets say you are running 10 of them just to abuse it to the utmost...

10 Warlocks on Jet Bikes
-8 with Destructor
-1 with Conceal
-1 with Enhance

If someone charges you, they get hit with 8d3 strength 5 hits? I will put the 4 catapult shots left over in parenthesis

You can't use Destructor with Overwatch. Take a look at the FAQ.

Well that sucks, and is flat wrong considering that Destructor should not be a psychic shooting attack and hasn't been until 6th edition decided randomly to make it one...

Don't worry, GW has a tendency to nerf armies that they are planning to update. Stuff like that Destructor ruling or the Farseer nerf in the january FAQ is someting that has happened to most armies that we're scheduled for a new Codex/WD update.

Destructor has always been a psychic shooting attack, just one that was passive and didn't need to be rolled for.

The choice to keep destructor out of overwatch is actually a shockingly consistent view of the rules.
