So it's time to start counting down until Saturday where we will discover more about the 6th Edition of Warhammer 40K. Today I thought I would write about the second teaser trailer from GW (which you can see above). This strongly hints at Psychic Powers making a big return to the game (rather than an extra shooting or movement ability which some models have now), which has been mentioned in a few rumors.
Personally I think this makes sense as a big common factor in 40K is the underlying fact that the Warp is a major player in the background setting of the game. The Warp is what most races use to travel through space as well as draw upon to unleash powerful sorcery upon the battlefield to blast the enemy into a smoldering crater. It's also where the Chaos Gods and Daemons live and it's the bitter pill that helps keep the Imperium together by allowing it to communicate and travel across the galaxy!
So what do I want to see? Whilst I would love to see a return to the second edition psychic phase (the poker phase as it was known. You used cards to generate power for what you could do and it became a mini game in it's own right), I can't see it happening. I'm expecting something similar to how magic works in Warhammer but hopefully not as game swinging as some of the spells can be. All will be revealed in a few days but what do you think about the return of psychic powers in a big way to the game?
