Fantastic post.

dudes. no linking outside of the site please. listings like this sometimes end up with System Commander getting an email from GW's lawyer.

yes, no sharing please. this is for 'us' to read and discuss.

looking at the powers initially, i'd say those that have access to Divination have some really nice powers. there was a few i was mentally marking as ones i'd like to use, then remembered my marines cant cast those.

Though I like most of the new powers, I'm not a fan of getting random ones. Hard to build an army with a a job in mind for your psyker and find out you get a CC ability instead of that flamer template or meltagun equivalent you really wanted.

I'll probably be sticking to my codex powers for the most part. (while i can)

A thought occurs just now though. That a 110 point Chaos sorcerer who just purchases doombolt can trade that cheapest of spells for something totally different(and potentially much more powerfull). the same for aspiring sorcerers in squads of Thousand sons.(Who need a new power now, apparently, because their special isnt so special with the change to rapid fire )

Edit: and i'm guessing that a sorc with a familiar counts as a lv 2 caster as he has two spells? lot of those telepathy spells are... yummy. Puppet master and conveniently disembarked melta guns... Invisibility and Hallucination are both game changers... on a level higher than Lash, if used correctly.

thir will defintly be more aperences from IG pykers in my army lists now.

mike, this is from the insert that came with the cards:
Codex: Chaos Marines - any model with psychic powers may use the new powers found in the cards, BRB instead of those found in their codex. if he does so, for 'each' power he has purchased from his codex, he may generate a new power from the pyromancy, telekinesis, or telepathy categories before being deployed. a model can generate powers from different categories if you with. typhus picks 2 powers. ahriman picks 3 new powers.

codex: vanilla - libbies generate 2 new powers from the categories open to them. tigurius picks 3.

because we always had to pick 2 powers, ours get to choose 2. since chaos psykers pay for each power, you have up to 21 new ones to replace the cheaper-costed ones with better ones. and all psykers, unless stated otherwise in their books, will be mastery lvl 1, so they cant take the 4 WC 2 powers out of the deck. so when you roll the D6 to see which of the 2nd-7th power you get, if its a WC 2 and you're a mastery 1, you get to re-roll.

the primaris power is chosen by rolling for that category, and deciding you'd like to substitute the primaris power for the one you rolled.

Eldrad generates 4 new powers (but my question is this, since he has 5 powers known to him, does he get to keep one of the eldar ones when he rolls for new ones?

Important Note---

Blessings and Maledictions are cast at the start of the Movement phase and last until the end of the following turn.

thanks for finding that mark, i couldn't find them in the book.

toast, the way the power exchange works, as i understand it from looking at their tigurius and typhus examples, is your Eldrad will either cast 4 powers a turn, choosing from any of the 5 his codex entry allows, or, say you want 3 new powers from the BRB; you sacrifice his ability to make 3 of his 4 powers be 'any' of the 5 he can choose from originally, to be one of 3 randomly rolled powers from the new shared powers pools. the 4th psyker power he's allowed to do per turn would allow you to pick any of his 5 base-powers. but the first 3 would be limited to the 3 you rolled for.

thats how i understand it, and hopefully i got the idea across clearly. if not, i'll make a photoshop pic explaining what i mean.

edit: just looked in the quick reference sheet with the cards, it says eldrad generates 4 new powers. so ignore my initial guess on how that works i guess

I was assuming that familiars and Tzeench mark would make your mastery level higher, but apparently they do not.

they are just wargeer that give you more spells. they doent even generate more warp charge.

before, you could cast Warptime, and use a psychic shooting attack if you had both spells. now your one warp charge is going to get used up by your first spell in a turn and then you are Done.

that blows, sucks, and bites.

Do all the old spells count as Warp Charge 1? If they don't, then mix and match. Take some of the good old stuff, and buy @ swap doom bolt for a swanky new Telepathy Power. (Darn, I didn't score Hallucination, I guess I'll settle for Psychic Shriek, which can be cast from inside a Rhino)
