Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Psychic 101

This is the current [[Warhammer_40,000/Tactics_(9E)|9th Edition's]] Psychic tactics. [[Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Psychic_101(8E)|8th Edition Tactics are here]].

== Psychic Phase in General ==

Psychic powers are used in their own phase, after moving but before shooting.  Every psyker knows some set of powers, can attempt to manifest some number of powers per friendly Psychic phase, and can attempt to deny some number of psychic powers in each enemy Psychic phase.  In Matched Play, only the ''Smite'' power, which all psykers know by default unless their rules say otherwise, can be spammed; all other powers can only be attempted once per turn.

<div style="margin-left: 1em;>
=== How It Works ===
<div style="margin-left: 1em;>
==== 0: Generate Psychic Powers ====

Psychic powers are generated ''before'' the game starts, but ''after'' list construction (you do not need to commit to your known powers until after you know your enemy's list). A given psyker has access to a certain number of powers from some Discipline, with the Discipline ordinarily set by the model's faction; in addition, unless its rules explicitly say otherwise, all psykers know the ''Smite'' power.  A Discipline has six powers in it, and you may generate your powers by rolling D6s (re-rolling duplicates), or you can simply pick the power(s) your psyker knows, which is what you should always do, as you should be building your list with a clear role for each psyker in it.  
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em;>

==== 1: Choose Psyker and Power ====
Each psyker in your army may attempt to cast some number of powers, as specified on their datasheet; this number typically varies between 1 (particularly weak) and 3 (particularly strong, and the current maximum).
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em;>

==== 2: Casting Powers ====

Roll some number of dice; the number is typically 2, but your psyker's datasheet may say otherwise, such as rolling only 1 die, and various abilities may modify this.  Rarely, you may add or subtract a constant from the rolled value - as usual, your datasheets will indicate this (or, if other models are modifying your rolls, their datasheets).  If you equal or exceed the power's ''warp charge value'', and you live through the attempt (see below), you succeed at the power; otherwise, the power fizzles.

Make sure you record somehow (such as by putting the dice aside, although any additive modifiers do also apply) the result of the dice roll if you succeed; some powers resolve (see below) differently based on your roll.
<div style="margin-left: 1em;>
===== Perils of the Warp =====
''Perils of the Warp'' occurs on any pair of 1s or 6s, aside from any special rules saying otherwise.  When a psyker suffers ''perils of the warp'' for any reason, he suffers 1D3 mortal wounds.  If this kills him, the power fizzles and each unit within 6" suffers D3 mortal wounds.

Note: If you have an embedded Sorceror, like the Rubric Marines, you can distribute these mortal wounds to the models in the unit.
</div></div><div style="margin-left: 1em;>

==== 3: Deny the Witch ====

Any model capable of denying a psychic power (which is any psyker, and certain other models with special rules) within range (24", unless otherwise specified) can attempt to ''Deny the Witch'', up to the number of times specified on their datasheet.  The opposing player can nominate any eligible model to attempt to Deny. Regardless of the number of models that can attempt a Deny, the opposing player can only try once to deny each successfull casting.  The opposing player rolls their ''Deny the Witch'' test - typically 2 dice - and has to ''exceed'' the total the caster got.  If the opposing player does so, the power fizzles.
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em;>

==== 4: Resolve Power ====

If you made it this far (cast successfully, psyker lived, not denied), resolve the power as specified in the power's rules, as modified by the rules on the psyker, etc.  To give you an idea of how likely this is, here is a table summarizing your chances.
</div></div>

==[[Psychic Disciplines]]==

By and large, each Faction has its own Discipline, although exceptions abound.  Accordingly, the Disciplines below are sorted by Faction.  The range of a power is always measured from the psyker casting it.  When the target is "Closest X", that means the closest X that is also within range - when Closest is not specified, the controlling player may choose any X within range.  Visible, similarly, always means this power is restricted to X within Line of Sight of the casting psyker.  "Aura" abilities are bubbles - legal target units are affected when and only when they are within the bubble (the psyker is always within the bubble).
*Remember that "Closest Visible" powers can be manipulated by, during Movement, rotating the caster to manipulate what units he can and cannot see.
**Psychic powers of the same name are considered the same power across multiple disciplines, but powers with identical rules are not.

<div style="margin-left: 1em;>
===Smite===
:;Overview
::''Smite'' is not actually in a discipline, and all Psykers know it by default unless otherwise noted. Many psykers, such as Zoanthropes, Warlocks or Grey Knights, have special rules that modify how it works.

{| class="wikitable sortable"  style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"
|+ Smite
! Number !! Name !! Range !! Target !! Description !! Charge
|-
!0!! Smite
| 18 || Closest Visible Enemy Unit
| The closest visible enemy unit within 18" of the psyker suffers 1D3 mortal wounds, 1D6 if the warp charge is greater than 10. Average mortal wounds inflicted, casting with 2D6, first time being used in the phase, and no denial, caster has 4+ wounds remaining: 1.79.
| 5, adding 1 each time a unit uses it in a given psychic phase (e.g. 5 for the first use, 6 for the second, etc.) up to a maximum of 11. Units with Brotherhood of Psykers/Sorcerers ignore this penalty, but RAW still contribute to it.
|}
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em;>

===Chaos===
<div style="margin-left: 1em;>
====Chaos Daemons====
Unlike with most factions, Chaos Daemons subdivide their psykers, with Daemons of the three non-Khorne deities taking different disciplines.  Be'Lakor, the only Daemonic psyker not of any deity, uses the Dark Hereticus discipline.

| Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, target takes -1 toughness.
| 6
|-
! 5 !! Virulent Blessing
| 18 || Friendly Nurgle Daemon Unit
| Target unit may add +1 to all wound rolls in the Fight phase, and wound rolls of 7+ for that unit in the Fight phase inflict double damage.

|+ Slaanesh
! Number !! Name !! Range !! Target !! Description !! Charge
|-
! 1 !! Cacophonic Choir
| 18 || Closest Visible Enemy Unit
| Roll 2D6 (add 2 to the result if the psychic test result is more than 10). Target unit suffers a mortal wound for each point rolled above its highest Leadership value. This has the same average mortal wound output as Smite against targets with Ld5, but it's higher variance; At Ld5 it's 28% likely to do nothing at all (either from failing the psychic test or rolling under their Ld) and averages 3.15 wounds if it works, vs. 16% and 2.15 for Smite. Since the Warp Charge was dropped to 6 it's very situational but no longer a garbage fire.

|-
! 2 !! Symphony of Pain
| 18 || Closest Visible Enemy Unit
| Target unit subtracts 1 from all hit rolls until the start of your next Psychic phase.
| 6
|-
! 3 !! Hysterical Frenzy
| 18 || Friendly Slaanesh Daemon Unit
| Target unit must also be within 1" of an enemy unit. It can pile in and attack as if it were the Fight phase.
| 8
|-
! 4 !! Delightful Agonies
| 18 || Friendly Slaanesh Daemon Unit
| Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, roll 1D6 each time a model in the target unit loses a wound. Ignore the wound on a roll of 6.
| 5
|-
! 5 !! Pavane of Slaanesh
| 18 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Roll a D6 for each model in the target unit. That unit suffers a mortal wound for each roll of 6.

|}
| 7
|-
! 2 !! Bolt of Change
| 18 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Target unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; if a Character is slain by this, you can add a Chaos Spawn to your army.  Set it up within 1" of the character before it is removed. If your Heralds cast this, you can expect to succeed 27.78% of the time (less than a third!), dealing 0.56 mortal wounds, on average.  Much more reliable from a healthy Lord of Change, at 58.33% / 1.17 (1 1/6) mortal wounds dealt, but still rather shabby.
| 8
|-
! 3 !! Gaze of Fate
| N/A || N/A
| Re-roll a single dice roll later during your turn.
| 6
|-
! 4 !! Treason of Tzeentch
| 18 || Visible Enemy Non-Warlord Character
| Roll 2D6; if the result is greater than the target's Leadership, you can treat the model as Friendly in your Shooting, Charge, and Fight phases, until the end of your Fight phase.
| 8
|-
! 5 !! Flickering Flames
| 18 || Friendly Tzeentch Daemon Unit
| Until your next Psychic phase, add 1 to any wound rolls made for the targets shooting weapons.
| 5
|-
! 6 !! Infernal Gateway
| 12 || Closest Visible Enemy Model
| Target's unit and every other unit (friend or foe) within 3" of the target suffer 1D3 mortal wounds each. The number of mortal wounds inflicted is 1D6 per unit instead if the power is manifested with a Psychic test of 12+.
| 8
|}
</div></div><div style="margin-left: 1em;>

====Heretic Astartes====
Except for the Death Guard, all Legions share this Discipline, which they also, curiously, share with Be'Lakor.  As Be'Lakor does ''not'' have the Heretic Astartes keyword or a way to get it, he only uses the offensive/debuffing powers from this list unless somehow allied into a Heretic Astartes army.

{| class="wikitable sortable"  style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"
|+ Dark Hereticus
! Number !! Name !! Range !! Target !! Description !! Charge
|-
! 1 !! Infernal Gaze
| 18 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Roll 3 dice.  The target suffers a mortal wound for each 4+.  Average mortal wounds inflicted, casting with 2D6 and no denial, caster has 4+ wounds remaining: 1.25 (less than ''Smite'').
| 5
|-
! 2 !! Death Hex
| 12 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Until the start of your next Psychic phase, the target cannot take invulnerable saves.
| 8
|-
! 3 !! Gift of Chaos
| 6 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Roll a D6. If the result is greater than the target’s Toughness, it suffers D3+3 mortal wounds. If a Character is slain by this power, you can add a Chaos Spawn to your army and set it up within 1" of the character before it is removed.
| 6
|-
! 4 !! Prescience
| 18 || Friendly Heretic Astartes Unit
| Target may add +1 to all hit rolls until the start of your next Psychic phase.
| 7
|-
! 5 !! Diabolic Strength
| 12 || Friendly Heretic Astartes Model
| Until the start of your next Psychic phase, add 2 to the target's Strength characteristic and 1 to its Attacks characteristic.
| 6
|-
! 6 !! Warptime
| 3 || Friendly Heretic Astartes Unit
| Target unit may move now, as if it were its Movement phase. A unit cannot have this cast on it more than once per turn.

=====Death Guard=====
Death Guard Sorcerers, Sorcerers in Terminator Armour and Malignant Plaguecasters use the Contagion discipline.

! 3 !! Plague Wind
| 18 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Roll 1 die for each model in target unit; the unit suffers a mortal wound for each 6.  Average mortal wounds inflicted ''per model'', casting with 2D6 and no denial, caster has 4+ wounds remaining: 0.139 (5/36).
| 5
|-
! 4 !! Blades of Putrefaction
| 18 || Visible Friendly Death Guard Unit
| Add 1 to all wound rolls it makes in the fight phase. Rolls of 7+ using melee plague weapons inflict a mortal wound. 
| 5
|-
! 5 !! Putrescent Vitality
| 18 || Visible Friendly Death Guard (Infantry) Unit
| Unit gains +1S and +1T.
| 6

=====Thousand Sons=====

Note: Outdated since their codex release, I'll update it later. Now they have two disciplines, Change and Vengeance, that do a number of cool things, plus one power per cult (subfaction). But they don't keep the range increase (now mostly baked in anyways), nor they keep the penalties removal for casting the same power.

For more info, see their tactics.

Thousand Sons Sorcerers, Exalted Sorcerors and Sorcerers in Terminator Armour use either the Dark Hereticus or Change disciplines. Thousand Sons Daemon Princes and Magnus the Red can use the Dark Hereticus, Change, or Tzeentch (See Daemons) disciplines. Furthermore, their special rule '''Brotherhood of Sorcerers''' adds 6" to the range of all their powers (including Smite) and removes the penalties associated with casting Smite repeatedly.

|-
| 4 || Add 3" to the character’s Move characteristic.

===Eldar===
<div style="margin-left: 1em;>
====Craftworld Eldar====
Warlocks and Spiritseers use the Runes of Battle. Each has ''two'' effects - you choose one ''after'' casting the power successfully. For the purposes of the Rule of One, each effect is considered to be a separate power. Farseers utilize the Runes of Fate. Any Craftworld Psyker that knows Smite may exchange that power for one from the Runes of Fortune table. Wraithseers may only cast one of their three unique powers.

Average mortal wounds inflicted, casting with 2D6 and no denial, caster has 4+ wounds remaining: 0.868.  Terrible, particularly compared to other powers in the same vein, like Infernal Gaze from Dark Hereticus.

If the targeted unit is destroyed by this power, the closest enemy unit within 18" of the last enemy model to be removed by the power also takes 1d3 mortal wounds. This repeats until either a unit is not destroyed by the power or when there are no units close enough to a destroyed unit for it to spread.

! 2 !! Tempest's Wrath
| 24 || Enemy Unit
| Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has -1 to hit.  Copied and pasted from Aversion from the Interromancy discipline, but because the two powers have different names, they stack.

|-
! 3 !! Murderous Hurricane
| 18 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Roll 1d6 for each model in the target; target suffers 1 mortal wound for each roll of a 6. Not overly reliable, but it's rare that anything scales with unit size in 8e.

! 6 !! Jaws of the World Wolf
| 18 || Enemy Non-Vehicle Unit
| Roll 2D6. Target unit suffers a mortal wound for each point rolled above its Move. Random compared to smite, but potentially more powerful, and you can pick a target, including characters trying to hide. Becomes pretty useless above M6.

! 1 !! Terrifying Visions
| 18 || Enemy Unit
| Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has -2 Leadership.  Combined with the odds of casting this, the expected result is -7/6 to leadership, which will, at best, result in fewer than that probably fleeing from the unit as a result of the power, so this is another power which is inferior to ''Smite'' against single-wound targets - but against multi-wound targets, such as Ogryn, it can do much better, because a fleeing model takes all of its wounds with it; in addition, this bypasses most FNPs (although not the AdMech Dogma one), as well as most repairs (including Necron RP), so it can be situationally useful.
| 7
|-
! 2 !! Gaze of the Emperor
| 2D6 || Models
| Draw a straight line 2d6" long from the psyker's base.  For each model the center of the line "passes over", roll a die.  On a 4+, that model's unit suffers a mortal wound.  "Passes over" is not a game term, but RAI [[skub|appears to be]] all models the line touches except for the caster.
| 6
|-
! 3 !! Psychic Barrier
| 12 || Friendly Astra Militarum Unit
| Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has +1 to saves, ''including invulnerable saves''.  Cast this on Bruteshield Bullgryn for a 3+/3++, or Slabshield Bullgryn near Celestine for a 1+/3++.
| 6
|-
! 4 !! Nightshroud 
| 12 || Friendly Astra Militarum Unit
| Until the start of your next turn, any enemy unit that targets the chosen unit with a ranged weapon suffers a -1 penalty to hit rolls.  Generally speaking, even better than Psychic Barrier, provided you know you don't have to worry about melee.  Thanks to the wording, it's also persistent - if a unit targets the Nightshrouded unit with a ranged weapon, it'll keep that penalty until the power expires, so if the targeting unit charges after shooting, it'll retain the penalty (it's not a penalty to BS or to ranged weapon hit rolls, it's a penalty to ''all'' hit rolls triggered by targeting).
| 6
|-
! 5 !! Mental Fortitude
| 12 || Friendly Astra Militarum Unit
| Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, target unit automatically passes Morale Tests.  Lifted directly from the Inquisition's Telepathica Discipline, the real claim to fame here is the very low Warp Charge on it, meaning you can generally rely on it to go off outside of Deny the Witch, if you're low on other sources of Morale buffs.
| 4
|-
! 6 !! Psychic Maelstrom
| 18 || Enemy Unit 
| Roll a D6. On a 2+, target unit suffers a mortal wound. Unless the wound is negated, you can then roll another die. On a 3+ the target unit suffers another mortal wound. Continue the process, adding 1 to the required die roll each time, until you fail to cause a mortal wound, or the target unit is destroyed.  Generally speaking, worthless - even if you couldn't stop the power with FNP, and even if it wasn't 2 WC harder to cast than ''Smite'', it would ''still'' deal fewer mortal wounds.  Even ''Gaze of the Emperor'' will usually outperform this.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Lol nope. Look elsewhere, no psionics here.

===Necrons===
Your souls have been forever consumed by the C'tan, so no psychic powers for you.
You do get powers of the C'tan, but it's not much compensation as those are basically "deal X mortal wounds in a cool and novel fashion that involves 20 dice rolls".
