Rules Lawyer
- Librarius Conclave and the number of powers a psyker can use.
- We get asked this one a lot, but it is in the rule book. Pg.22, “The number of psychic powers a Psyker can use each turn depends on his Mastery Level.”
- Reecius will be updating the ITC FAQ today, sorry for the delay, was out of town and been playing catch-up.

11 pink horrors
11 pink horrors
8 screamers
The biggest problem I’ve found with green tide is against either super fast shooty armies, or worse, a really really assaulty deathstar. The screamers counter both nicely. The screamers run and tarpit the assaulty death star while the green tide covers the rest of the board.
So the two disc mounted heralds ride with the screamers and try to turn them into the re-rollable 2+.
The pink horrors and extra herald hide back adding psyker points and getting beam of tzeench and warpflaming the green tide for a better feel-no-pain score. Odds are they should be at least 3 or 4+ feel no pain by the time they get stuck in.
The weirdboy goes in the tide to add dice and if he gets +2 strength or gate of infinity, all the better.
