Hi,

If a Psychic Hood is used to block the power of a Thousand Sons' Sorceror can he sacrifice a thrall to attempt to use the power again?

Or has the Hood rendered that power inoperable from that sorceror for the turn?

If the answer is yes then can he use a thrall to attempt a second power?

If the answer is no can the model that possesses the Hood attempt to block it again?

Thanks

the first part, i'm unsure.
"If the answer is no can the model that possesses the Hood attempt to block it again?"


per C : DH
"...it can be used each time an enemy model uses a psychic power."

A thrall normally allows the same power to be used a second time in a turn, so I see no reason why the thrall couldn't be expended to allow a power to be re-used after it was nullified.

And yes, the psychic hood would get another attempt to nullify it.

That is pretty evil nullifying the utter sacrifice of a poor thrall.

I don't have a rulebook handy, so take my advice with a grain of salt. Doesn't the Psychic Hood entry make reference to stopping one Psychic power per psyker - thus allowing the second attempt to go thru unmolested? I had the understanding that it was this reason which prevented a Psychic hood from stopping both powers of a Farseer who possesed a Spirit Stone.

Keldrin:

The restriction is that only one psychic hood may be used against a single use of a psychic power.

In other words, if you have two Librarians with Psychic Hoods, only one may attempt to use his hood against a particular use of a power.
