Psychic Counter
Model Type: Psychic, Disembarked
Psykers can try to counter enemy powers by
tapping into the warp and draining the energy
that charges the enemy psyker’s power or use a
direct psychic attack to distract him. Psykers
embarked on a transport cannot perform a
Psychic Counter.
If an enemy psyker is using one of his powers
within 24” of any psyker of your own, you can try
to cancel the power. Roll a D6. If the result is 5 or
higher, the psychic power is nullified and does not
take effect that turn. If you have several psykers
in range, or one of the psykers has a special rule
or wargear to nullify enemy powers, you can only
start one attempt to stop the power. If several
players in a multi-player game want to nullify the
power, choose one player randomly to attempt
the psychic counter.

Fire Points
Each transport may have a number of fire points
defined in its entry. A fire point is a hatch or gun
slit from which one or more passengers inside the
transport can fire (or use any other Shooting
action). The number of models that can fire from
each fire point is specified in the vehicle’s entry,
and the other transported models may not use
Shooting actions.

Models that fire from a transport can fire on a
different target than the vehicle, but the unit
must fire at a single unit as normal. The line of
sight is determined from each fire point. To
determine if the target unit is in cover, use a fire
point chosen by the shooting unit’s controlling
player. Ranges (including point blank ranges) are
measured from the transport’s hull, body or base.
Transports offer a stable firing platform and often
provide enhanced targeting systems and gun
mounts. Therefore, models embarked on a
transport have the relentless shooting special rule.
The field of vision of a soldier firing through a
narrow firing slit is greatly reduced. To represent
this, an embarked squad may only target units
within 18”. This doesn’t affect the range of a
weapon to resolve other situations like the
distance in which a Melta weapon gets an extra
Armour Penetration dice.

If a model uses the multi-targeting rule to
perform several Shooting actions, it needs an
equal number of fire points (and a line of sight
from each of them) to do so. For example, a
model needs two fire points to fire an ordnance
weapon from the passenger compartment of a
transport

Shooting from moving transports
If the transport is damaged or moves fast, this
affects also the shooting performance of any
embarked unit. If the transport cannot perform
Stationary actions or has lost its multi-targeting
rule (temporarily or permanently), each embarked
unit can only perform a single Shooting action.
For example, only a single model of an embarked
unit can fire a weapon if the transport is shaken
or has moved at combat speed (or in the case of a
fast transport, has moved at cruise speed). If the
transport cannot perform Shooting actions,
embarked units cannot perform Shooting actions
either - the passengers are shaken as well or the
fire points are destroyed.

Models with the open-topped rule do not have
specific fire points. Instead, passengers in an open
topped transport may fire from any point of the
model’s body or hull. Check the line of sight and
cover saves of the target unit from any point on
the hull or body of the transport. This does not
need to be the spot that you used for measuring
distances (e.g. the nearest point to the target
unit). The number of models that can fire from an
open-topped transport is not limited by the
number of fire points.

On the other hand you get a ten piece squad of boys with 10d6+30 str4 or 30 power attacks that can fit in a gunwagon or bigtrakk.
