Curse you puppet dance!

It says that you use it during the assault phase instead of assaulting (p. 40 C:WH). Page 52 of the BBB has the rules for Psychic powers, but it doesn't say that you can't use them in an assault. It sounds like you could use them in an assault although you wouldn't be able to make a close combat attack with that model. I would assume that initiative also comes into play so it might be possible to kill the psyker before he could use his power.

Puppet Dance sounds a lot tougher than the SM Fury of the Ancients. I'm suprised this hasn't come up sooner. Cursed chaos scum! The Emperor protects...

You know he can't actually use the powers and units from the back of the Witchhunters codex unless he's actually playing against Witch hunters. Not even if he's playing LatD. Those units and rules are only for an army fighting against witch hunters and never anyone else. So unless you personally consented to him using them when its not generally legal he was cheating.

And on a side note all three of the powers available to rogue psykers are pretty gross.

Actually, page 52 says they follow ALL shooting rules, unless specified otherwise. So, while it can be cast in the assault phase, it doesn't say it may be used in CC. Further, as pointed out, those are only usable against witchhunters. And lastly, init has nothing to do with it, since you can't cast it in the first place when in cc.

So a SM Librarian can't use Might of Heroes while in cc? It also is cast in the assault phase. Hmm, that's odd. You are correct about taking a Rouge Psyker against Orks. It can't be done unless both players had agreed to it before the game started.
