if you scroll down , you can see in the psi powers table it checks which armies have access to what psi diciplines , nids have access to 3 of 5 .

Imperial forces must be hideing some really interesting latent phy abilitys seeing as most of them have 4 out of 5, with that said the eldar only have two, I dont know how to explain this.

My thoughts exactly.

I imagine that while the Eldar only have two, they are quite skilled with them, while the IG's psykers will be varied, but not as skilled or potent.

Of course, I have no clue how this will turn out in the end. And what the Frak is Biomancy? Telepathy and Telekinesis is obvious, I know what Divination is (those I don't know how it will work for this game), and Pyromancy is easy to guess. But what is this Biomancy? Shapeshifting?

Also surprised by the lack of Daemon psychic powers, though maybe they'll get something special, as well as the Orks.

[Jabberwocky]

Demons use magic over psychic I guess.

I expect biomancy will be like beast magic in fantasy, or life.

Increases to S/T/A/I, maybe regain wounds. Probably also some poison wind type spells, 4+ wound flamer or something.



Also I think Eldar will be like the old High Elves, picking the exact powers they want rather than rolling. Warlock units might become a bit better with access to cheap psychic powers to trade in.

I'm loving the idea of some psychic Nids' throwing people around like rag dolls with telekinesis. Gonna need to get some Broodlords...

Oddly enough theres a page on biomancy from way back in 2009 that explains what it is on lexicanum.

You can also check out GW's Dark Heresy Campaign (which we are currently RPGing). All of those classes of psychic powers are in there.

Daemons don't have Psykers, which is probably why they don't choose from that list. Same with DE and Necrons too.

Wolves don't have Pyromancy? Some Space Vikings they turned out to be.

[TheContortionist]

i heard a friend talking about allied armys. and that Tyranid do not get to allie with anything. has this been confirmed?

[infornography]

They should be able to ally with space marines so you can simulate what Kryptmann did when he captured some genestealers and let them loose on an Orc world.

That's actually quite brilliant. But it would take for Games Workshop to make some alternative rules for Genestealers og Hybrids. I guess it would be more a case of Imperial Guard/the Ordo Xeno to take advantage of the Tyranids than the other way around.

Lets keep rumors all in the same thread...
