Psychic Communion, C:GK:

This power may be used at the start of the Grey KNight movement Phase. If the test is succesful, the player may add or substrtact 1 to any reserve roll made this turn. Cumulative uses of this power stack.


Can a Brother Captain use this power if he is held in reserve, hence not on the table ?

Thanks a lot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2593842.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2593842.page GMT GK Psychic Communion http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2593860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2593860.page GMT Re:GK Psychic Communion
if it was an inherent ability like the IG officer dude it would work from reserves, but it's not.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2593873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2593873.page GMT GK Psychic Communion

To be fair, that is not actually stated in the rules for Psykers. Psychic shooting attacks pretty much, but not for psychic powers/abilities.

However, the reserves rules state the model is available after it arrives, which strongly implies it is NOT available prior to that. Which makes selecting it in the Movement phase awkward at best.

I was under this impression also, except I can't find the rule which prevents it. I'm looking for a page number kinda thing.

RB.94B.01 – Q: Do special rules for models in Reserve still affect the game? Are models in Reserve vulnerable to special rules that affect all models?
A: Models off the table have no effect on the game unless a rule specifies otherwise [clarification]. Conversely, models off the table are not affected by any rule unless specified that it affects models off the table ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2594006.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2594006.page GMT GK Psychic Communion http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2594018.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2594018.page GMT GK Psychic Communion 40k. You need to be told you can.

I've never seen anything that says models in reserve can take psychic tests. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2594031.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2594031.page GMT GK Psychic Communion

Gotcha. It read a bit oddly since it is not actually in the rules for abilities or psykers.

f74, while that is true it is not really helpful for general answers.

You are told that psykers can. It never actually says they have to be on the table, or they could not use powers from inside a transport.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2594034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355723/2594034.page GMT
