40K Rules Conundrum: Condemnor Boltgun Edition
You know you can’t resist a good old-fashioned rules conundrum. Its like trying to not look at someone getting a ticket on the roadside.

I am wondering why everyone seems to think that the heralds in the screamer star unit would be picked out. Where are you getting this from?
The IC psyker rule does not transfer to a unit you join and screamers don’t have the brother hood of psykers rule so you are not shooting a unit that would qualify for the perils effect.
And we were off to the races with both sides arguing for and against. Basically the core question is exactly how do you resolve the situation when a psyker has joined a non-psyker / non-brotherhood-of-psykers unit and that unit is struck by a Condemnor Boltgun’s Psi-Shock round? As you can imagine – owners of Screamerstars around the world are gathering around the fainting couch…
For the record, the Condemnor Boltgun’s exact text reads:
Psi-Shock: Any unit with the Pskyer, Brotherhood of Psykers or Psychic Pilot special rules that is hit by a weapon with this special rule suffers the Perils of the Warp in addition to any other damage.
