earlier this week I was in the gaming store. being new to 40k I started a thousand sons army. now I know people have pointed out the psychic stage has been nerfed. that said I ended up talking with a Tau player.
I mentioned it was weird that Khorne characters, and sisters are so limited in ways to deny the witch, and that is weird since the story is full of people in the those groups being resistant/immune to warp mind fuckery.
He went on to insist that his tau army was massively wronged for no longer having a deny the witch. he compared it to not having a melee phase. He then went on to demand that I agree the Tau deserved the deny the witch and they used to have options?
I stopped talking to this guy when he started shout in loop: "I have the only army without a deny!" over and over again.
That said, what options did the the Tau have then that they don't have now?

fuck him. just another whiny tau fag. do not concern yourself with bullshit

This.
Just keep smiting and warptiming my dustbro.

Necrons don't have deny either.
He is fucking retarded. The Tau aren't anti-psyker. They are just weak psykers. Which automatically means their anti-psykers are incredibly weak too.
>>54360967
Yes they do.
While he was bitching, farsight enclaves had a relic "Talisman of Arthas Moloch" that conferred a 5++ and added +2 to deny rolls for units targeted by psykers within 12" of the bearer, hopefully it comes back to help us out but that guy is a little bitch and should fuck off

Kharn lost his Fuck off Psykers ability too.
But the Talisman will probably be a Deny the Witch with a +1 or +2 to the roll in a 6" range. Psykers arent nearly as bad as they were before. Theyre still powerful but less "Oh i summoned a whole new army" or "You cant hit me except on 6s and i get a reroll 2++"

Necrodermis is actively anti-Warp, though. They are literally built to resist Chaos and any Warp energy down to their base components.
Tau are still organic beings with souls, they're just very small souls and usually not worth the effort to corrupt.
