	::Force counts as a Psychic power, but it does not actually belong to ''any'' discipline nor does it count against how many powers you know. Remember, you need to make a psychic test in order activate it so you'll need to pick out the prime opportunity. Additionally, Force no longer inflicts Instant Death (except against units with the Daemon unit ~~type~~), instead just doubling your Strength. This might still be enough to trigger ID just by the effective strength being double the enemy's Toughness, but this won't matter against Dreads and Castellaxi.		::Force counts as a Psychic power, but it does not actually belong to ''any'' discipline nor does it count against how many powers you know.

Each non-vehicle model in that unit can restore a wound on a 5+. This sounds good on paper, but wound allocation requires already wounded models to continue taking wounds unless they are characters; making this only really useful for all character units like Suzerains. Granted, said all character units are really good, so this is still worth considering..
