I was just looking through my BBB and saw this section. Normally, I just pass right by it but then I started thinking. Does anyone use psychic powers?

It seems to me, very few people do (except for maybe some Eldar and DH), but that's about it. Think they will make a change for 4th edition? Maybe make the changes more like fantasy instead.

Thoughts???

i sincerely hope they do, as i miss the old psycic round in 2nd ed. It was perhaps a bit tedious but more fun knowing your Cheif Librarian could wipe out or completely hold an entire unit easily in one turn.

Ahhhhh Mephiston, where are you.

I think they could expand it a bit more, not to the degree they had in the old days as 40K has been stream lined alot over the years.

Well, the Minor Powers in Ca2004 are a step in the right direction, I would love to see more diverse and powerful psychic powers, even though Weaken Resolve is very potent on its own B)

I like the CSM powers. Doombolt is nice to have for some extra firepower, and Gift of Chaos is simply the most awesome psychic power in existence =^^.^.^= .

I love the smell of Grandmaster-turned-to-spawn in the morning. Smells like . . . victory.

I do wish other races had psychic powers too . . . so those damned witch hunters would get off my Thousand Sons' backs!!! I mean, we tried to help the Golden Corpse, but nooooooooooo. He had to send his pet dog out to wreck our crib!!! Is that rude or what?!?!? And now we have to associate with other "sorcerors" who are either a walking pile of puke, or some guy who is confused whether he's a he, she, or both!

Its a tough life for a thousand son marine. Probably the sanest yet most misunderstood people in the eye of terror.

I mean they can't even get their freak on anymore as they're all dust.

And they also have a terrible fear of vacuum cleaners sneaking into their rooms at night.

yes chaos psychic powers are awesome. iv seen them sway the battle in the favor of the chaos player

I play an ulthwe army so my thing is psychic powers. haveing a hq with 6 or so psychers can be quite startling to your opponent. my favortie power has got to be fortune. its the reaosn why i have a beefed seer council. ahve 6 guys with re rollable 4+ inv saves. i love my opponenets save when i tell him i get to re roll them.

also fortune allows AWESOME, if not the best meat shield in the game. casting fortune on a squad of large guardians in front he the seer coucil, will ensure they get into combat. i usually ahve about 10 or so in the guardian squad, they get an auto cover save of 5+ and can re roll any failed cover saves. now if u make that squad a squad of 20...then i dont think their is alot that can take out that before combat is reached. and if u wanna be extra nasty... sticka squad of banshees next to the coucil, behind that meat shield for an added twist :rolleyes:

I have been chompin' at the bit to fight some itty bitty eldar mages!!! But of course everyone plays CSM, SM, and DH!!!! I have a warp blade on my lord which is getting rusty!!!! Now that's something i've always wanted to see: my warp blade eat the minds of a seer council, and THEN assualt the survivors!!! But other than that, the dang sword is worthless.

Sure I use them... but then im a tzeentchian dude...
However I really miss the magic phase.
And I miss all the powers that where so special, not only "use this magic as a weapon with the following stats..."

Firestorm of tzeentch... yummy.... :)

I'm using them right now..you're thinking of..posting ! damn I'm good <_<

I love Gift of Chaos, a very awsome power... In one game my chaos sorcerer (liutenant) payed off for himself in one turn by actually changing a Grey Knight Grand Master into a pathetic spawn! Should of seen the look on the GK players face =D

My first armies were SoB and Necrons... so I didn't use them at all. However, I'm soon to be starting a Thousand Sons army, so I should be getting some more use out of them :D

Yeah, I play Eldar, so my psychic powery goodness is a big part of my battleplans.
