    Ok looked it up: Hitting 100 isn’t necessarily instant death, I think, but if they don’t start to quell to reduce the number, there’s a couple effects that can happen: they explode, attract a mass daemon possession event upon your army, or a variable sized circle of warp storm around it

    I once gave 40k, the tabletop a try. Their smaller skirmish version, killteam, I think. I had like 5 guys and turn one, one of them exploded himself, damaging the rest.

    It’s possible I misunderstood the rules, but the way we played was a better story. I lost, of course.

    For those of us not in the know, does it burn itself out?

      Not only is he yeeted screaming into the warp, but (depending on the edition) there’s a good chance a daemon appears and kills what’s left of the party

      We are talking about 40k here, so dying will probably be the nice outcome you hope for…

      Basically yes. It’s pretty much a death sentence. The psyker could be saved if they get medical attention quickly enough, but it’s pretty likely they gon’ die.
