1) Farseers cannot cast Fortune from INSIDE the transport.
2) They CAN cast Fortune on the Transport if they are OUTSIDE.
3) If they DO cast Fortune on the Transport, and the squad INSIDE disembarks, the squad does NOT get the benefits of the Fortune.

So basically if a squad is inside a transport there is no way for it to be Fortuned until the following turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870422.page GMT Fortune and Transports

Your point 1 is false. The current FAQ prevents psykers from targeting models inside transports (unless they themselves are in the same transport), but doesn't do anything to prevent psykers in transports from casting out. Fortune doesn't require LoS. And Fortune isn't a pyschic shooting attack, which would require a fire port.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870473.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870473.page GMT Fortune and Transports
The abilities don't require line of sight, its quite explicit. If you're inside a transport, you cast spells just fine.

You can NOT, however, cast shooting attack spells. Everything else is fair game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870500.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870500.page GMT Fortune and Transports http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870528.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870528.page GMT Fortune and Transports

Well now that contradicts what Janthkin said.

That is OK, really. So Farseer + Banshees the Farseer can still cast his spells from inside the Wave Serpent even if he cannot cast it on the squad until the turn after they disembark.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870551.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870551.page GMT Fortune and Transports http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870557.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/870557.page GMT Fortune and Transports
Next time try to refrain from posting unless you have something useful to contribute.

From the gw faq:
Can Psychic powers be used on a unit embarked on a transport?
A. For simplicity’s sake, the answer has to be a firm ‘No, unless the psyker himself is in the unit being transported ...

Your first and second points are so wrong it is funny, as is your comclusion. You really, really need to read the current FAQ.

Psykers can most certainly cast powers while embarked. Shooting Psychic poweres require a fire-point, but non-shooting powers do not. Fortune (as well as Doom and Guide) are non-shooting, and can therefore be cast while embarked in a WS or Flacon. Also, since Fortune, Doom, and Guide do not need LOS, the Farseer can easily target a unit from inside his transport.

What a Farseer cannot do is target a unit that is embarked in a DIFFERENT transport than the one in which the Farseer is emabarked. He is free to target a unit embarked in the same transport as himself.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/871053.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/871053.page GMT Re:Fortune and Transports

Awesome. Yes I should read the FAQ (in fact, I am going to). And thanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/871102.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/871102.page GMT Fortune and Transports LOS powers require a fire point but honestly dont know if you can use other powers inside of a transport. I know that even for orders that the Chimera has a special rule that allows you to use orders inside of it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/876776.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250152/876776.page GMT Fortune and Transports LOS or anything like that.
As for targeting a unit in a transport with a psychic power. if the psyker is in the transport with them, it's fine, as already shown by the FAQ (and yes, we know it's not official).

Read the Faq as has been said a few times on this forum.

powers cant be cast into a transport unless the psyker himself is in the unit being transported. Psykers can also cast powers outside of transports from fire points or from vehicles without fire points if the power doesnt require LOS.
