afrodude112 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I've got a bug player that I play on a regular basis with my Grey Knights and was wondering if the Doom of Malantai counted as a psyker. I say yes because its ment to be a super zoanthrope and psyker in all the fluff. He says no because it never has to pass a psychic test and "apparently" isn't a psyker in rules. So, what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGuard Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yes, it is. Quite clearly on its bestiary and army entry page it says it's a psyker, that is the only criteria for being one. It doesn't matter if you don't take the test of not, if it says psyker in its special rules then its a psyker. Eldar Warlocks auto-pass their psychic tests, they're still psykers because they have the psyker special rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Carmine Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Tell your opponent to turn to page 58 of his codex and read out loud the list of keywords next to special rules. Then give him that look, you know the one that says "you really should fully read your armies rules before you play." <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkGuard Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Beat him to death with his own codex. Nid Codex doesn't have enough substance for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkGuard Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Doom has Shadows in the Warp. G :P So? Doesn't mean it's a psyker, Trygon Prime has Shadow in the Warp but it's not a psyker. Same with Tyranid Warriors, Shrikes, Prime etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Tyranid Warriors, Shrikes, Prime etc. It has psyker in his special rules, its list above the shadows thing (page 89). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've already established that but the point was that SitW does not mean that a model is a psyker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, I even argued that Doom is a psyker in the first reply to this question, I'm not contesting it. What I am contesting is the idea that having Shadows means you are a psyker, which is clearly incorrect if you look at the Codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
