Does a Banshee Mask cancel out overwatch for a whole unit, or just for the unit that is wearing one?
For instance, if I have an Autarch with a Banshee Mask join some Reavers are the Reavers immune from overwatch?
Also, why on earth don't Tormentor Helms do the same thing?

Because they wrote the fluff about tormentors and forgot to represent it in the rules. No - really - I'm pretty certain that I read somewhere that Phil Kelly mentioned something to that effect.

Thanks guys
Well, at least that comment from Phil Kelly gives us hope that the next DE codex will be more powerful.
It'd also give Incubi a usable niche: surprise-charging flamer squads. They'd annihilate otherwise unchargeable D-Scythe Wraithguard for instance...
