Hive fleet psychic powers + splinter fleets

[hivefleetkerrigan]

Do the new hive fleet psychic powers work on their splinter fleets? I thought GW had the policy of "they should" via a base rulebook FAQ, but wasn't sure as specific powers mentioned a specific hive fleet

Depends on the exact wording, but it should. But going to need a psyker from let's say Kraken to gain access to the Kraken-specific power in the first place.

Splinter fleets are a fluff only thing for us. You don't get kraken strats while doing a custom hive fleet that's a kraken splinter. What, did you think you were space marines or something?

Sigh.. that's what I was thinking. That's another knock against custom traits I think. I'll start another thread for an in-depth discussion.
