Crucible of Malediction

Crucible of Maladiction use against Grey knights to me should affect there vechiles also since they have pshyic abilities? Anyone one agree or disagree?

HA!

Interesting question. GK codex state that their vehicles can be "hooded", suffer from perils of warp etc.

While there is no GK FAQ and DE FAQ says nothing, I found this bit in BA FAQ:

Q: A Furioso Librarian counts as being Leadership 10 for
all psychic purposes. What exactly does this mean? (p29)
A: It means that for Psychic tests, for using a psychic hood
and for being affected by psychic powers, special rules or
wargear that affect psykers and require a Leadership
value, they are counted as being Leadership 10.

So if the same... ugh, writer* made both codexes, I guess You can say GK are also affected.
Still, need to wait for FAQ


* I love to hate Mat Ward.

I think that it should affect everything in the Grey Knight book that is a Grey Knight (Fluff wise, all Grey Knights are psykers, right?), though, as Local_Ork pointed out, other than what the BA FAQ said, theres no definite answer.

My belief it should be affect them also. I am waiting for the day I can pull this trick. Another supporting arguement would be the changling affecting vehicle although this might be a little bit of a stretch.

Psychic Pilot says the vehicles count as psykers, but only for Psychic tests and hoods. That excludes them from the crucible of malediction because it does not induce a psychic test and is obviously not a hood.

Huh... checked BA codex and it say "for all purposes" while GK not.

This interpreation may be right. Unless "count as psyker" and "have LD 10 for hood and Psychic tests" are two separate sentences (english semantics are great mystery for east european like me)? Hmm... need to wait for FAQ then.

Its nebulous for native English speakers too, the whole set of Grey Knight pysker rules are poorly worded.

Yeah, it made me a sad panda the day the GK codex was released. A lot of the rules read like they were written to specifically NOT allow other races' cool wargear to work.

Against Grey Knights they have the Brotherhood of Psykers rule so all you'll do with CoM is pop the Justicars if they are still alive. As all their vehicles are Psykers though I can't see why CoM wouldn't affect them as they are all people piloted.

Well, only reasonable (blargh!) explanation is CoM may kill 1 guy from squad and Tanks have numerous crew.



Ok, that's stupid (cry in corner)

I have played against the Grey Knights just twice, and only had the Crucilble to use once, but I say if the unit entry has the Psyker keyword and a Leadership, it should be affected.

Well I got to use this during yesterday tournament in the last game and saw a choas sorccer go bye bye nice to see the look on his face. Yeah.

I always assumed that a crucible would remove an entire unit instead of just the justicar. Because they all have force weapons and you need to be a psyker to use them.

Yes, but GK have rule that says only leader/one guy is affected by Perils and Wargear.

I think the rule is clear.

Units with Brotherhood of Psyker lose their champ or 1 random model
Characters that are psykers are affected normally, even if they are in a unit with the broherhood rule. Note that this cover Dreadknights as well.

Psychic Pilot is more complex.
The rule stipulates that:

They are a level 1 psyker.
They use Ld 10 for hoods and psychic tests.

The question should be what Ld do they use for other things that affect psykers.

Personally i think they should test on Ld 10 until we hear otherwise.

I beg to differ about that point on the brotherhood of Psyker units. The attack is resolved against one member but i still think that the whole unit should be removed. Because lash for example is resolved against one model but the whole unit is affected.

Well anything resolved against a particular model normally effects only that model

You arent suggesting that a Justicar that falls foul of perils should take his whole unit with him are you?

i would like to believe that CoM can affect GK vehicles. if the psyker ability is what drives the vehicle then the vehicle should cease to work one the psyker ability is gone.
