GK brotherhood banner and SitW

[reddawn]

The GK codex says, that a GK unit with the brotherhood banner automatically pass thier psychic test to activate its force weapons.

So SitW dont change anything for that unit, or have I missed something?

Yep. The Banner ignores SitW, and still lets them auto-pass that Test.

There is some debate as to whether they still need to roll to see if they get hit with perils, but most people play it as auto-pass means no roll.

On a slight tangent, something I forgot to add earlier: Remember that the dude with the Bro Banner doesn't have a NFW. If you can set things up so you get an MC on him and Gaunts or something on the rest of the Squad, you can often get a huge swing in a fight that way.

Also, precision hit your smashes at the banner first where possible. The pallies are no longer all characters so he can't look out sir it either.

"Precision smash." I like that phrase.
