Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Psychic 101

This page indexes how the Psychic Phase works in 8th edition Warhammer 40K. 7th, 2nd

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.

How It Works

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 three powers in it, and you may generate your powers by rolling D3s (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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chaos

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.

Nurgle

Nurgle

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Stream of Corruption	7	Closest Visible Enemy Unit	Target takes 1D3 mortal wounds if it has less than 10 models, or 1D6 if it has 10 or more.	5
2	Fleshy Abundance	18	Friendly Nurgle Daemon Unit	One model in the target unit recovers 1D3 wounds.	5
3	Nurgle's Rot	7	All Units (except Nurgle Units)	Roll 1D6 for each affected unit. On a 4+, the unit suffers 1D3 mortal wounds.	7
4	Shrivelling Pox	18	Visible Enemy Unit	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.	7
6	Miasma of Pestilence	18	Friendly Nurgle Daemon Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, your opponent must subtract 1 from all hit rolls against the target unit.	6

Slaanesh

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. (Detailed Mathhammer breakdown)	6
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.	6
6	Phantasmagoria	Aura 12	Enemy Units	Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, all affected units take -1 Leadership.	6

Tzeentch

Tzeentch

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Boon of Change	18	Visible Friendly Tzeentch Daemon Unit	Roll a D3 on the table below; all models in the target unit receive the listed bonus until the start of your next Psychic phase. D3 Boon 1 +1 Attack 2 +1 Strength 3 +1 Toughness	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

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.

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.	6

Death Guard

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

Contagion

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
6	Curse of the Leper	14	Closest Enemy Unit	Roll 7d6, target takes a mortal wound for each roll that exceeds its toughness characteristic.	7

Thousand Sons

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.

Change

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Tzeentch’s Firestorm	18	Visible Enemy Unit	Roll 9 dice; the enemy unit you selected suffers a mortal wound for each roll of a 6.	7
2	Boon of Mutation	3	Friendly Thousand Sons Character (no Daemons)	Roll 2D6 and consult the chart below to see what effect this power has on that character for the rest of the game. 2D6 Boon 2 Your character is slain. However, before removing the model as a casualty, you can add a Chaos Spa- Uhm thingie, to your army. If you do so, set up the Model within 6" of the character before removing them. 3 Add 6" to the Range of all of the character’s shooting weapons. 4 Add 3" to the character’s Move characteristic. 5 Each time the character loses a wound, roll a D6; on a 6, they do not lose that wound. If the character already has an ability with a similar effect, add 1 to any dice rolls you make for them to avoid losing wounds instead. 6 Add 1 to any Psychic tests you take for the character. 7 Choose a boon of your choice (you cannot choose Spawndom or Daemonhood). 8 Subtract 1 from hit rolls that target the character in the Fight phase. 9 Add 1 to the Damage characteristic of the character’s melee weapons. 10 Add 1 to the character’s Toughness characteristic. 11 Add 1 to the character’s Wounds characteristic. 12 Your character is slain. However, before removing the model as a casualty, you can add a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch to your army. If you do so, set up the Daemon Prince within 6" of the character before removing them.	7
3	Glamour of Tzeentch	12	Friendly Thousand Sons Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, your opponent must subtract 1 from any hit rolls they make for models that target that unit.	7

Heretics and Renegades

Renegade Psyker Covens and Malefic Lords utilize their own unique set of powers.

Renegades and Heretics

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge

Eldar

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.

Runes of Battle

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Conceal/Reveal	18	Friendly Asuryani (Biker or Infantry) Unit / Enemy Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, ranged weapon hit rolls against target must subtract 1 / target unit gains no bonus to its saves from cover against Asuryani units from the psyker's army.	6
2	Embolden/Horrify	18	Friendly Asuryani (Biker or Infantry) Unit / Enemy Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target has +2/-1 Leadership.	6

You cannot use Quicken on a single unit more than once per Psychic phase / Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit must halve their Move characteristic.	7
6	Empower/Enervate	18	Friendly Asuryani (Biker and Infantry) Units / Enemy Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target adds 1 to wound rolls in the Fight phase / subtracts 1 from all wound rolls in the Fight phase.	6

Runes of Fate

1	Guide	24	Friendly Asuryani Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit can re-roll failed ranged weapon hit rolls.	7
2	Doom	24	Enemy Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, Asuryani units from the psyker's army can re-roll failed wounds against the target.	7
3	Fortune	24	Friendly Asuryani Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, whenever the target unit suffers a wound, roll 1D6 - on a 5+, ignore the wound. If a unit already has an ability with a similar effect (e.g. Ulthwé’s Foresight of the Damned attribute, or the Avatar of Khaine’s Molten Body ability) then the effect of Fortune replaces that of the ability until your next Psychic phase. "Similar" is not defined past Molten Body, so discuss with your opponent any other abilities you encounter where interpretations might differ, although it "seems" clear that e.g. Fuegan is immune to this.	7
4	Executioner	18	Closest Enemy Unit	Target suffers D3 mortal wounds. If a model in the target unit is slain as a result of this, the target unit suffers an additional D3 mortal wounds.	7
5	Will of Asuryan	Aura 6	Friendly Asuryani Unit	Until your next Psychic Phase, affected units automatically pass Morale tests. Additionally, you can add 1 to all Deny the Witch tests that you make for the casting psyker until your next Psychic phase.	5
6	Mind War	18	Enemy Character	Each player rolls 1D6 and adds their model’s Leadership characteristic to their result. If your opponent scores higher, or if the scores are drawn, nothing happens. If the psyker’s score is higher, the target suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the difference between the two scores.	7

Runes of Fortune

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Fateful Divergence	6	Friendly <Craftworld> Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, you can re-roll a single hit roll, wound roll or save roll for the affected unit.	4
2	Witch Strike	N/A	Self	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, this psyker adds 2 to the damage characteristic of their melee weapon.	4
3	Ghostwalk	6	Friendly <Craftworld> Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, add 2 to the result of target unit's charge rolls.	6
4	Crushing Orb	18	Visible Enemy Character Unit	Roll three d6. For each 5+, the target suffers 1 mortal wound.	4
5	Focus Will	6	Friendly <Craftworld> Psyker Unit	Until the end of this phase, add 2 to the result of any psychic tests made by the target.	6
6	Impair Senses	18	Enemy Unit	Select an enemy unit when this power is manifested. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, when that unit is chosen to make a shooting attack, all models within the affected unit can only target the closest visible enemy unit unless the targeted unit is within 18" of the shooting model.	6

Wraithseer Runes

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Enliven	12	Friendly Visible Wraithguard, Wraithblade or Wraithlord Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit rolls twice for Advance and Charge rolls and discards the lowest.	6
2	Foreboding	6	All Enemy Units	As long as they remain within 6" of the Wraithseer, all affected enemy units have -1 Leadership.	8
3	Deliverance	12	Friendly Visible Wraithguard, Wraithblade or Wraithlord unit	Until the start of your next turn, whenever target unit takes a wound, roll a D6. On a 6+, the wound is ignored.	7

Harlequins

Shadowseers use Phantasmancy.

Phantasmancy

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Twilight Pathways	3	Friendly Harlequins Unit	Target unit may move now, as if it were its Movement phase, and it is immune to this power until the end of the phase. Direct copy/paste of Warptime from Dark Hereticus, with the Factions swapped.	6
2	Fog of Dreams	18	Visible Enemy Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit subtracts 1 from all hit rolls targeting Harlequin Infantry units.	7
3	Mirror of Minds	24	Enemy Unit	Both players roll a die. If the caster's player rolls higher or draws, target unit suffers a mortal wound and repeat the process. Continue until the target unit is destroyed or the target's player rolls higher. Expected number of mortal wounds: 0.583, much worse than Smite; this power has greater range and you can choose the target, rather than being forced to pick the closest, but WC 8 is really not easy to pull off, so Smite plus other powers may serve you better.	8
4	Veil of Tears	18	Friendly Harlequins Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, subtract 1 from all hit rolls made against the target unit.	7
5	Shards of Light	18	Visible Enemy Unit	Target unit suffers D3 mortal wounds and until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit subtracts 1 from its Leadership.	7
6	Webway Dance	6	All Friendly Harlequins Units	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, whenever a unit within range suffers a wound, roll a D6. On a 6+, the wound is ignored.	8

Ynnari

In the initial XENOS 1 Index, the Yvraine and the Yncarne used the following Revenant Discipline. Released 2017.

Revenant

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Gaze of Ynnead	18	Visible Enemy Unit	Roll a die. Target suffers 1 mortal wound on a 1, 1D3 mortal wounds on a 2-5, and 1D6 mortal wounds on a 6. 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.	8
2	Ancestors' Grace	18	Friendly Ynnari Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit can re-roll hit rolls of 1.	5
3	Word of the Phoenix	18	Friendly Ynnari infantry, biker, or Yncarne. Target must not have made a Soulburst action this turn.	Target unit can immediately make a Soulburst action.	8

Under the new Ynnari Index, released April 2019

Revenant

1	Gaze of Ynnead	18	Visible Enemy Unit	Roll 1d6. Target suffers 1 mortal wound on a 1, 1D3 mortal wounds on a 2-5, and 1D6 mortal wounds on a 6. Average mortal wounds inflicted, casting with 2D6 and no denial, caster has 4+ wounds remaining: 1.51 mortal wounds (worse than Smite).	6
2	Storm of Whispers	6	All Enemy Units	Roll 3D6 for each enemy unit within range. For each result of 6, the unit being rolled for suffers a mortal wound. Mathematically identical to rolling 1d6 per unit and dealing a mortal wound on a 4+, or, on average, dealing each one half a mortal wound. Needs to target at least 4 units to be worthwhile over Gaze of Ynnead or Smite.	6
3	Word of the Phoenix	18	Friendly YNNARI Infantry or Biker Unit	Heals D3 lost wounds on a single model. If no models in the unit are wounded, you can instead return a dead model to the unit with 1 wound remaining.	5

6	Ancestor`s Grace	18	Friendly YNNARI Unit	You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for the target until the beginning of your next Psychic phase.	7

Imperium of Man

Adeptus Astartes

Technomancy

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge

6	Machine Flense	18	Visible Enemy Vehicle	Target immediately suffers 1d3 mortal wounds. You can then target another enemy vehicle within 6". Roll a d6 for each mortal wound the target suffered - on a 4+ this secondary target suffers a mortal wound.	6

Raven Guard

Instead of any of the default disciplines, Librarians of the Raven Guard Chapter can take powers from the Umbramancy Discipline.

Umbramancy

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Umbral Form	N/A	Self	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, the target has a 4+ Invulnerable save.	5
2	Enveloping Darkness	18	Visible Enemy Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, this target cannot fire Overwatch and when subtracts 1 from all hit rolls.	7

4	Shadowstep	18	Friendly Raven Guard Unit	Remove the target unit from the field. You may now re-deploy this unit wherever you wish on the field, so long as it's at least 9" from an enemy unit.	7
5	The Abyss	18	Visible Enemy Unit	Roll 3d6. For each 4+ that is rolled, the target unit suffers a mortal wound. If this would result in the death of any models in the unit, the target subtracts 1 from their Leadership score until the end of this turn.	6
6	The Darkness Within	18	Up to Three Visible Enemy Units	Roll 1d6 for each target unit, adding +1 if you rolled a 10+ on the channel power test. For each 4+, the target suffers a mortal wound.	6

Imperial Fists

Instead of any of the default disciplines, Librarians of the Imperial Fists Chapter can take powers from the Geokinesis Discipline.

Geokinesis

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Tectonic Purge	Aura 12	Visible Enemy Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, whenever an enemy within this aura makes a charge, they must subtract 2 from the result.	6
2	Wrack & Ruin	18	Visible Building Unit or Visible Enemy unit wholly within a terrain setpiece	Roll 9d6, adding +1 to each roll if the target was a building. On every 5+, the target suffers a mortal wound.	6
3	Iron Inferno	18	Blast 6	Roll 1d6 for each enemy unit within this area. On a 4+ this unit suffers a mortal wound.	6
4	Fortify	12	Friendly Imperial Fists Infantry or Biker Model	Target recovers d3 Wounds.	4

If the result is equal to the Move score, then the target suffers d3 mortal wounds. If the result is greater than the Move score, then the unit suffers 3 mortal wounds.	6

Salamanders

Instead of any of the default disciplines, Librarians of the Salamanders Chapter can take powers from the Promethean Discipline.

Promethean

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Flaming Blast	24	Visible Enemy Units within 3" of selected point	Each enemy unit must roll 1d6; on a 4+, they suffer a mortal wound.	6
2	Flame Shield	18	Visible Friendly Salamanders Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, all ranged attacks against this unit subtract 1 from their hit roll. In addition, all charge rolls against this unit subtract 1 from their result.	6

6	Draconic Aspect	Aura 12	Visible Enemy Units	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, subtract 2 from the Leadership of all enemy units within 12" of the psyker.	6

Blood Angels

Blood Angels psykers lose Librarius and instead use Sanguinary.

Sanguinary

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Quickening	N/A	Self	Add 3 to Advance and charge rolls you make for the psyker, and make D3 additional attacks with them in the Fight phase, until the start of your next Psychic phase.	7
2	Unleash Rage	12	Friendly Blood Angels Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target has +1 Attack.	6
3	Shield of Sanguinius	12	Friendly Blood Angels Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has a 5+ invulnerable save.	6
4	Blood Boil	6	Visible Enemy Unit	Roll 2D6. If the total exceeds the highest Toughness characteristic in the target unit, the unit suffers 1D3 mortal wounds; if the total rolled is more than double that of the highest Toughness characteristic in the target, it suffers 3 mortal wounds instead.	6
5	Blood Lance	12	Visible Enemy Model	Draw a line between the target and the psyker. Roll a D6 for each model the centre of the line passes over. For each roll of 5+ that model’s unit suffers a mortal wound. Similar to Gaze of the Emperor that Psykana psykers can cast; has reliable range, but even worse mortal wound output.	6
6	Wings of Sanguinius	N/A	Self	The psyker can immediately move as if it were your Movement phase, but his Move characteristic is also increased to 12" and he gains the FLY keyword until the start of your next Psychic phase (this means he can shoot if he Fell Back in his Movement phase). In addition, whilst this power is in effect, you can re-roll failed charge rolls for the psyker.	5

Dark Angels

Dark Angels psykers lose Librarius and instead use Interromancy.

Interromancy

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Mind Worm	12	Visible Enemy Unit	Target unit suffers a mortal wound. Until the end of your turn, it can only be chosen to attack in the Fight phase last.	6
2	Aversion	24	Visible Enemy Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has -1 to hit.	6
3	Righteous Repugnance	12	Friendly Dark Angels Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, target unit can re-roll all failed hit and wound rolls for melee weapons.	7
4	Trephination	18	Closest Visible Enemy Unit	Roll 2D6, adding 2 to the total if the psychic test was more than 10. The target unit suffers a mortal wound for each point over the units highest Leadership value. (This is worse than Smite in all circumstances.)	7
5	Engulfing Fear	Aura 6	Enemy Units	Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, target units must roll 2 dice and discard the lowest when taking Morale tests in the Morale phase.	6
6	Mind Wipe	18	Visible Enemy Model	Each player rolls a D6 and adds their model’s Leadership characteristic to their result. If your opponent scores higher, or if the scores are drawn, nothing happens. If the psyker’s score is higher, the target takes -1 WS, BS and Ld for the rest of the battle.	7

Grey Knights

Grey Knights psykers lose Librarius and instead use either Sanctic or Dominus. Additionally, they are not subject to the penalties for repeatedly using Smite.

Sanctic

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Purge Soul	12	Visible Enemy Unit	Both players roll a die - the psyker's player adds the psyker's unit's highest Leadership, while the target's player adds the target's highest Leadership. If the psyker's player rolls higher, the target suffers mortal wounds equal to the difference.	5
2	Gate of Infinity	12	Friendly Grey Knights Unit	Remove target unit from the battlefield, then set it up anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" from any enemy models. Unit counts as having moved. Basically Da Jump from the Waaagh! Discipline, only at -1 charge.	6
3	Hammerhand	12	Friendly Grey Knights Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has +1 to all wound rolls made with Melee weapons.	6
4	Sanctuary	12	Friendly Grey Knights Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit gains a 5++ or +1 to invuln save rolls if it already has one.	6
5	Astral Aim	18	Friendly Grey Knights Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit ignores cover with shooting attacks and can target enemy units out of line of sight.	5
6	Vortex of Doom	12	Closest visible enemy unit and units within 3" of target	Target units suffer 1D3 mortal wounds, increased to 1D6 if the psychic test result was 12+.	8

Dominus

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Warp Shaping	N/A	N/A	The caster can decide which Tide of the Warp is dominant on this turn.	5
2	Armoured Resilience	12	Friendly Grey Knights Infantry Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, any attacks that hit the target unit take a -1 penalty to all wound rolls.	6
3	Ethereal Manipulation	6	Friendly Grey Knights Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit can re-roll all hit rolls when shooting within half range.	7
4	Edict Imperator	12	Friendly Grey Knights Unit	Target can shoot and move immediately, though it cannot advance. This unit cannot more or fire for the rest of the turn.	7
5	Imperial Domination	N/A	N/A	Gain 1 Command Point.	7
6	Inner Fire	1	Visible enemy unit	Roll a number of d6 equal to the result of this test; for each 1 rolled, the caster suffers a Mortal Wound. For each 3+ rolled, the target unit suffers a Mortal Wound.	5

Space Wolves

Space Wolves psykers use Tempestas; they do not technically lose Librarius, as Space Wolves take their own, distinct psykers. Broadly speaking, all of these powers are inferior to at least one power in at least one other discipline; a Space Wolves psyker's best power will usually be Smite.

Tempestas

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Living Lightning	18	Enemy Unit	Deals 1d3 mortal wounds to the nearest visible enemy unit. 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.	6
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.	6
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.	5
4	Fury of the Wolf Spirits	0	Self	Until the next psychic phase, the user gains a bonus 6 melee attacks with S5 AP-3 D1.	7
5	Storm Caller	Aura 6	Psyker and Friendly Space Wolves Units	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, targets gain the benefit of being in cover.	8
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. Average mortal wounds inflicted, accounting for casting with 2D6 and no denial, caster has 4+ wounds remaining. Move 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12+ Mortal Wounds 4.08 3.50 2.92 2.35 1.81 1.33 0.91 0.57 0.32 0.16 0.06 0.02 0.00	7

Adeptus Astra Telepathica

Psykana

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
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 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.	7

The Inquisition

Inquisition Psykers all use the Telethesia Discipline.

Telethesia

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Terrify	18	Visible Enemy Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has -1 Leadership and cannot fire Overwatch.	6
2	Mental Fortitude	12	Imperium Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit automatically passes Morale tests.	4
3	Dominate	12	Enemy Character Model	Target model can immediately shoot an enemy unit with a single weapon or make a single close combat attack, as if target model was Friendly. Models cannot attack themselves but can attack other models in their own unit.	6
4	Mental Interrogation	12	Visible Enemy Character Model	Target model has -1 to hit. If your army is Battle-Forged, roll 3D6; if the result is equal to or greater than model's Leadership, you gain 1 Command Point.	6
5	Psychic Pursuit	18	Visible Enemy Character with a wounds characteristic of less than 10	One <Ordo> unit within 18" of the Psyker can shoot at the target even if it's not the closest ennemy unit.	7
6	Castigation	18	Visible Ennemy Unit	Roll 3D6 and compare to the lowest Leadership characteristic of the unit. If greater, the unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.	6

Ordo Specifics :

Telethesia

Ordo	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
Hereticus	Ascertainment	12	Enemy Unit	-1 Attack. Roll 2D6, if greater than the highest Leadership characteristic of the unit : -1 to hit until the next Psychic Phase.	6
Xenos	Psychic Veil	6	Friendly Ordo Xenos unit	Can only be selected as the target of attacks if they are the closest visible ennemy unit. Can only be selected as the target of charges if they are within 6" of the charging unit.	5
Malleus	Power Throught Knowledge	12	Friendly Imperium Infantry or Biker unit	5++ until the next Psychic Phase.	6

Orks

Ork Psykers all use the Power of the Waaaagh! Discipline, regardless of Clan.

Power of the Waaaagh!

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	'Eadbanger	18	Closest Visible Enemy Model	Roll a die and compare it to the Toughness of the target model. If the die roll is higher, the target model is slain.	8
2	Warpath	18	Friendly Ork Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has +1 Attack.	7
3	Da Jump	12	Friendly Ork Infantry Unit	Remove target unit from the battlefield, then set it up anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" from any enemy models. The unit counts as having moved.	7
4	Fists of Gork	12	Friendly Visible Ork Character Model	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target model has +2 Strength and +2 Attacks.	6
5	Da Krunch	18	Enemy Unit	Roll a die for each model in the target unit. For each 6, target takes one mortal wound. Then, roll 2d6, and on a result of 10+, roll another die for each model in the target unit. For each 6, target takes one mortal wound.	8
6	Roar of Mork	Aura 18	Enemy Units	Affected units have -1 Leadership until the start of your next Psychic phase.	8

Tyranids

Tyranids have two Disciplines, one for Genestealer Cult psykers and one for everything else.

Hive Mind

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Dominion	36	Friendly Tyranid Unit with Instinctive Behaviour	Until the end of your next Psychic phase, target ignores its Instinctive Behaviour ability and automatically passes Morale tests.	5
2	Catalyst	18	Friendly Tyranids Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time a model in target unit suffers a wound or mortal wound, roll a die; on a 5+, the model does not lose a wound.	6
3	The Horror	24	Visible Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has -1 to hit rolls and Leadership.	6
4	Onslaught	18	Friendly Tyranids Unit	Target unit can Advance, shoot, and charge this turn, without suffering any penalties to Ballistic Skill, including the usual ones for Heavy and Assault weapons. Note that since you can't cast this until after the Movement phase, you will generally have to Advance the unit you hope to buff, then hope you can get this power onto them.	6
5	Paroxysm	18	Enemy Unit	Until your next Psychic phase, target cannot fight in the Fight phase until all other units that are able to have done so. If the target unit has an ability that allows it to fight first in the Fight phase, it instead fights as if it didn’t have this ability. If both players have units that cannot fight until all other units have done so, then alternate choosing which of those units to fight with, starting with the player whose turn is taking place.	5
6	Psychic Scream	18	Closest Enemy Unit	Target suffers D3 mortal wounds. In addition, if that unit is a Psyker, roll two dice. If the result is higher than their Leadership characteristic, randomly select one of their psychic powers. They can no longer use that psychic power.	5

Genestealer Cults

Broodmind

Number	Name	Range	Target	Description	Charge
1	Mass Hypnosis	18	Visible Enemy Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target cannot fire Overwatch, fights last in the Fight phase even if it charged, and must subtract 1 from hit rolls.	7
2	Mind Control	12	Enemy Model	Roll 3D6; if you roll equal to or greater than target model's Leadership, you can make it immediately shoot an enemy unit or make a single close combat attack against it, as if the target were Friendly. Models cannot attack themselves, but can attack other models in their own unit.	6
3	Psionic Blast	18	Visible Enemy Unit	Roll 2d6. If the result is lower than the highest Leadership in the target, it suffers a mortal wound. Otherwise, it suffers 1d3 mortal wounds.	5
4	Mental Onslaught	18	Visible Enemy Model	Caster and Target each roll 1d6+Ld; if the caster wins, inflict 1 mortal wound on the target and repeat the process if the target survives and its roll was not a 6.	6
5	Psychic Stimulus	18	Friendly Genestealer Cults Unit	Target can charge after advancing and always fights first.	6
6	Might From Beyond	18	Friendly GENESTEALER CULTS INFANTRY or BIKER Unit	Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has +1 Strength and Attack. Easily the best power of its kind in the game, having superior range to all of them and a better ratio of return to risk than any of them bar, perhaps, Unleash Rage from Sanguinary (which is -1 Charge for a 12" Attack-only buff).	7

T'au

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Lol nope. Look elsewhere, no psionics here ... Although ... Ethereals can grant psychic power like buffs related to elements to nearby T'au units. They're not great, but they're better than nothing.

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".
