This isn't to say that his underlings did not have, or did not gain, such abilities, but I don't recall Huron himself being the sort.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5604894.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5604894.page GMT Huron and the use of Daemons

I don't think he was ever a Psyker or a Sorcerer, so would lack the means to conjure Daemons. He's less a religious nutter, falling to worship the Ruinous Powers and gain all sorts of magic powers, and more a political renegade and rebel, who turned to Chaos for the material, military support they could offer.

Yeah, I sort of rolled to the same conclusion. I don't understand what the deal is why Hamafsnafdsan or whatever the feth that little thing is. It's a little daemon familiar that gives him a small amount of favor from the ruinous power. Don't know how he got it in the case that he doesn't really venerate the chaos gods. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5604968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5604968.page GMT Huron and the use of Daemons http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605029.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605029.page GMT Huron and the use of Daemons
You do some stuff, you impress a Ruinous Power, they go "Here, have this little daemon-pet. It does tricks." And now you have a Daemonic Familiar.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605066.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605066.page GMT Re:Huron and the use of Daemons too farfetched that they might lend him aid in the form of a few detachments of bloodletters when assaulting a planet?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605118.page GMT Huron and the use of Daemons http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605142.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605142.page GMT Huron and the use of Daemons http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605469.page GMT Huron and the use of Daemons

In regards to the familiar, is it a pet or does it actually have powers?
The Hamadrya is a creature that manifests curious powers. In addition it makes Huron a Psyker granting him a randomly generate power every turn.

That's taken right from the CSM codex. It's able to give Huron the ability to use psychic powers, somehow imparting the knowledge to him and allowing him to use it, if only briefly. The way I have interpreted it is that The Hamadrya has to have some power of its own to be able to bestow it on someone. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605499.page GMT Huron and the use of Daemons iirc, the pet is an upgrade, similar to wargear, it's not an IC.

Psychic ability in 40K isn't something you can just turn off and on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605636.page GMT Huron and the use of Daemons

From a writing standpoint, it sounds more like the Familiar is the one doing the actual Psychic work (being a Daemon, it is a direct channel into the Warp) and just using its own abilities to tell Huron what it can do for him right now, or something to that effect. Game-mechanicswise, it allows the player controlling Huron to treat Huron as a Psyker and generate powers. Also, iirc, the pet is an upgrade, similar to wargear, it's not an IC.

Yeah. It acts as a combat familiar in game.

So to answer the guy who asked, yes, the thing has its own power. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605774.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5605774.page GMT Re:Huron and the use of Daemons
It's likely not a tactic often employed by the Corsair's though, they're a raider/pirate empire, relying on quick devastating strikes to take what they need and cripple their opponents, rather than hanging around enacting rituals and the like to summon daemons. But if they were drawn into a protracted campaign or whatever, they would likely be capable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5609166.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526320/5609166.page GMT
