Simoleo-Brother marine Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi I have a question to the GK experts out there Can Grey Knight squads purchase psychic powers? I ask this as in some areas of C:DH it mentions powers going through the justicar, and perils of the warp effecting the whole squad. I know GKT can purchase holocaust, but their led by a BC so thats why I am so confused Help please? -Simoleo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159350-grey-knight-squads-as-psykers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidoneus Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Although all Justicars do count as psykers, they cannot purchase any psychic powers. You must be thinking of the BC in a GKT squad.

ThePurifier Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Other than Holocaust for a GKT squad, only Inquisitors and Grey Knight Heroes can take psychic powers. Out of curiosity, on what page does it say powers going through a Justicar?

Simoleo-Brother marine Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 @ThePurifier: On pg 20 when referring to squad leaders it says in brackets justicars and BCs, hence my question. Oh well, the reason I wanted to was the idea of a squad of troops sitting on top of an objective using sanctuary against daemons seemed so so evil. ;) Oh well, if a BC or GM uses the power and sits on an objective with the squad will the power effect the whole squad or just the psyker? Thanks for the feedback -Simoleo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159350-grey-knight-squads-as-psykers/#findComment-1867853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkApostle Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I believe the reference of the Justicar is there because as long as the Justicar is alive the squad he leads are counting as psykers for the purposes of anti-psyker or psyker-specific rules. (Like the Witch Hunter stuff which only target Psykers). And possibly as a RAW way for people including a Culexus Assassin to let it fire more shots with it's weapon.

Thaelion Hexis Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Grand Masters, Brother-Captains and Justicars all count as psykers for the purpose of anything which may effect, or be effected by the presence of, psykers. The codex details specifically which units may take powers.

Simoleo-Brother marine Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Right Thanks for the help everyone :) -Simoleo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159350-grey-knight-squads-as-psykers/#findComment-1867929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Caloth Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 GM/BC and Justicars. The justicars in my opinion are more for the Culexus Assassin. Perks of GK being fearless, they scoff at the Leadership 7, and in CC they complement each other perfectly! Fire with the Animus of the assassin, then the whole squad of GK, then charge the knights in to finish it. anything surviving takes their test of the LD7 from the assassin. Its a gorgeous sight Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159350-grey-knight-squads-as-psykers/#findComment-2016874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
