hey guys,
starting up my first 40k game this Friday, and I have what I think are totally obvious questions that I'll go duh with once I hear the answers. I'm sure it's because I've been reading the rules too much.
1. when/how do psykers pick a discipline? is it with each psy rating they gain, or is it only when they can purchase psychic power (thus the choice is either a new power or a new discipline?) or something else... I simply cannot seem to find it.
2. can tech-priests "control" servitors. for eg. if there is a gun servitor blocking the parties path, could the tech priest "jack into it" (for lack of a better term) or command it to either stand-down, or do something else? if possible, how would that work?
and a curiosity question. do most people play with maps and mini's, or using the imagination? if using the imagination (my preferred method) do all the combat fiddly bits ever get in the way?
Cheers,
J.
