I just read through the Psychic phase rules and it seems like the Tyranids took it a little in the shorts with the changes in the Psychic defense area, especially since leadership does not seem to effect Psychic tests now.

Tell me ! Tell me ! Tell me !!! What's changed in the psychic test that leadership does not effect them? Does this mean my Warlocks have a better chance of actually generating their psychic powers ? 7th Ed only came out on the shelves in Oz yesterday and it's $140 for the set. I have not had a chance to view it yet.
The psychic test is merely selecting how many dice you want to use for the attempt, then rolling. If you roll equal to or more 4+ results than the power's Warp charge count, the power manifests. Perils occurs if you get two or more 6's on this roll, so the more dice you use for a power the more likely perils is. Leadership comes in on the Perils of the warp table. There's 6 results, you roll a D6 to see which one you're dealing with. 2, 3, and 4 are just straight up take a wound with some additional bad stuff on 2 and 3. 1, 5 and 6 results involve a leadership check. On the 1 result, Passing is take a wound, failing is remove from play. On the 5, Passing is nothing happens, failing is take a wound. On the 6, passing gives you a buff(armor and fleshbane and smash), failing is take a wound.Quote:

Guys, chill. It's gonna get FAQed. I can't promise that GW will get to it promptly... but it's gonna get FAQed. There's no way they won't fix this.

Shadows is there basically for the reduced LD of the psyker when taking a test on the perils table. Oh and als,o the reduced LD is for ALL tests done by the psyker not just during the psychic phase.
