I think it’s a bit better than you guys say. Not a lot but a bit. Some things to try: Endurance ie It will not die on a vehicle (Land Raider), regain those hull points. Weakness Vs Ork’s Terminator Librarian with a blunt force weapon (Str 6) Vs Boyz, casts weakness on them. He strikes in initiative, is wounded on a 6 but the Orks and if the Nob challenges he instant kills him before he strikes. Weakness vs guard Wound on 2’s with bolters.

i quite often use my psykers as character hunters or hunting other multi-wound annoyances my biker libraian has a lot of fun with this list although i have to say i think nids benefit the most (eternal warrior on a tyrant is a pain i hope people dont suffer too often)
Nids love biomancy
“Does anybody build their psykers to fight” … Tyranids? ever heard of a Hive Tyrant? the Swarmlord? Tervigons? Broodlords? Biomancy is quite possibly the best thing that has happened to Tyranids since 4th edition.

I give my Librarian a terminator armor and stick him with my terminators… I’m not a tournament player but I think this is a viable technique.
I still prefer the psychic powers in the codex but biomancy is not that bad, I think…
i played a lad with guard and wiped out his entire hw squads by infeebling and haomeraging them
You guys are totally right about one thing: since when has a game about tactics and strategy become more fun the moment everything (and in this edition I have to say literally EVERYTHING) is decided by dice? Starting with what your units can do? So now when you take a psyker you have to roll, to see which powers he gets. Really??? That doesn’t even make sense on a fluff level. If you go into war, you take the guy, who has learned the useful stuff. Does that make you stronger? Of course, but that’s what point costs are for.… Read more »
