erm basically im a bit confused to how many i can use per game turn and opponunt turn if that makes sence.

can i only use 1 power per TURN or PLAYER TURN

e.g

my terminator librarian deep strikes in uses fear of the darkness (my shooting) then in my opponunts turn he gets charged by a carafex can i use my force weapon on it(opponunts combat)

thanks

In my experience it almost always specifies this in the respective codex.

For example, Mephiston has three psychic powers at his disposal..two I'll use for example:

Might of Heros: At the start of either player's assualt phase the libarian gains +D3 attacks in that assualt phase.

Transfixing Gaze: Used in the assualt phase, and model in base contact must take a Ld test...blah blah...

 

[martin4696]

sorry im not asking WHEN it is used but how many can i use in a turn.

is it one in each PLAYERS turn OR one in each GAME turn

In respect to psychic powers its per PLAYER turn not game turn.

Per the FAQ for BGB dated 8/29/06 (yes its over a friggen year old)

Q. When a rule says “once per turn” (like in the case of
master-crafted weapons, psychic powers, etc.), does
this mean once per player turn or is it once per game
turn?
A. Always assume the word “turn” to mean “player turn”,
unless the text specifies game turn. This is not true,
however, of the “Organising a battle” section of the rule
book, where the opposite is true (so in this section “turn”
means “game turn”).

Yes you may use a force weapon in both assualt phases and yes you may use any other psychic power that specifies weird stuff like at the beginning of any assualt phase and what not in both yours and your opponents turns.

Bishop smacked it on the head. In fact on the FAQ it's the 2nd question.

 

[bl0203]

So just to clarify, My Libby charges using Might of Heroes, the defender holds and we go into his assault phase. I can use Might of Heroes during his assault phase too?

 

[Bishop120]

Yep. Or you can use your Force weapon instead... its your choice.

 

[martin4696]

ok thats for that my librarian will be having more fun then befor.lol

 

[40rending]

that is why i love taking mephiston and a second librarian in most of my games, i had mephiston, honour guard and second libraran as one unit assault a 10 man veteran assault(ultramarines) unit after rolling for wings of sanguinius for both librarians and might of heroes for both as well(a 5 and a 6 respectivly) i attatched both powers to mephiston

mephistons attacks work out thus:4 base +1charging +1two closecombat weapons +3(mephistons might of heroes) +3(other librarians might of heroes)

equals= 12 attacks with a force weapon at weapon skill 6
(mephiston can use all 3 powers in both players turns and still use his force weapon)

and if mephiston leaves any standing you have the following to finish off the job

5 power weapon attacks at ws5(other librarian)
16 power weapon attacks at ws4(company champion, tech adept and two honour guard with power weapons)
4 regular attacks as ws4

hope this is all clear

 

[Bishop120]

Heres a question for you... Im asking cause Im not real sure and I dont have the codex in front of me at the moment. Mephiston can use 3 powers in a turn right? Does anything stop him from using his Might of Heroes power 3 times on himself?

 

[martin4696]

you can only do one power of the same, e.g a farseer cant cast 2 fortunes (only eldrad can, in his own rules) lol

martin

 

[Bishop120]

Does it say that in his rules or ????... I know thats not in any global rule other than no 2 shooting powers do to shooting restrictions. Thanks in advance.

 

[martin4696]

very true you had me for a sec but...

eldar codex, page 26

" a farseer can use a single powera turn"

marine codex, page 26 (wierd lol)

"a psyker can only use a single power in a turn"

hence my question whats a turn lol

martin

 

[evantar]

OMG I never even thought of stacking Might of Heroes like that. Sounds like an awesome idea.

 

[40rending]

yes its a nasty tactic but the look on your opponents face when he loses his whole command unit and commander in one round of combat and you still have attacks leftover, and all of this before he gets to attack back is quite funny

 

[The Wraithlord]

Not sure about Mephiston but I am fairly sure Ahriman can used the same power multiple times per turn. It says something like that right in his description however.

 

[Bishop120]

martin

Well the deal here Martin is that certain people like Mephiston, Ahrimman, and Tzeentch sorcerors as well as a few other special characters are allowed to use multiple powers a turn.

 

[martin4696]

yer sorry bishop miss understud the question, in that case they say if you can use multipuls of the same power it says in there description.

martin

 

[Bishop120]

Ok.. I just re-read codex Blood Angels and Mephiston has 3 powers + his force weapon that he may use every turn but he may not use any power twice. So no he couldnt use his might of heros 3 times like I was wondering.

 

[martin4696]

lol that would be funny thougth wouldnt it lol
