Unleash Rage psychic power question?

[FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants]

Hi I’m picking what powers to select for my BA Librarian and I have a enquiry about the psychic power, Unleash Rage. The rules state to select a friendly BLOOD ANGELS unit within 12”. Can this be the Librarian himself? During 8th edition a Captain or Lieutenant’s aura abilities used to be able to used on themselves. However, in 9th the only affect <CHAPTER> CORE units. So does Unleash Rage work lithe way Aura abilities did in 8th, or is he prohibited from using it on himself? Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer in helping me figure out this issue.

It works in the same way as other 9th abilities - it triggers off keywords. Of it just says BLOOD ANGELS unit, then it can be anything with that keyword.

Which I take it to mean yes he can use it on himself as he has the BLOOD ANGELS keyword?

Unleash Rage only works on a single Blood Angels Core unit, a Librarian is a Blood Angels Character unit.

 

If it was an aura, it would have the word "Aura" in parentheses after the power name

 

To add, Shield of Sanguinius for example can target unit with the Blood Angels keyword as it doesn't specify further. If it did specify (i.e vehicle), then it could only target those units.

Cool thanks for the clarification, I’ve got to go dig out my BA supp which is buried in some boxes, I was just writing a list and only ha BattleScribe to go off. Thanks guys much appreciated.
