    Default Inquisition Psykers

    Someone over on B&C dropped upon me the bombshell that apparently Inquisitorial psykers (as in the henchmen) no longer use their blast power, but are now ML 1 psykers that roll for powers as usual from a selection of disciplines. Can anyone point me to the FAQ that confirms this and provides details? I've crawled all over the Black Library FAQ site and can't see a reference to an Inquisition FAQ.

    Thanks in advance!

    It was not noted in a faq, it was changed in the updated version of the inquisition codex, which states that psykers can generate powers from the daemonology (sanctic), divination, pyromancy, telekinesis and telepathy disciplines

    Are they set with it in the Inquisition Codex? Or was this the old Grey Knights codex?

    I'd love to just trust you - because this makes psyker henchmen about fifteen times more interesting - but can you point to the FAQ?

    Or did they just reach out and change it in the epub versions and I don't know about it because my copy is PERFECTLY LEGAL?

    I would be most interested in this as well, though I fear this is going to be another case of "librarians can use divination". *mumbles about stupid cards and their misleading check marks*

    ETA: Ninja'd. I wonder why they can't have daemonology maelific...

    I assume they use Santic with all the associated dangers for not being Grey Knights...?

    That's ok. 10 points for a warp charge on a stick is great. Divination to twin-link a bunch of hotshot lasguns? Telepathy to hope for invisibility? Almost all the powers are great! This is awesome!

    I'm going to go convert up a psyker for my Inquisitor RIGHT NOW!!!

    I only wish there was a way to combine a psyker with a mystic to get the benefits of both (because the mystic is, while useful in some lists, otherwise quite boring). Too bad there's not a Telepathy power to represent what the mystic does...

    But I'm not complaining. ACTUALLY USEFUL PSYKERS! This is great!

    As they did not add the 'Purity of Spirit' rule to them that the Grey Knights have that specify that they only perils on two or more 6s, that would appear to be the case, yes.
