Editing Age of Darkness-Warhammer 30k/2.0 Tactics/Psychic 101 (section)

===Biomancy===
:;Overview
::Biomancy is taken for two main reasons: You want to make your Psyker a fighter, or you're gonna make someone else one. For the former, it's usually better to attempt to buff a character that's already an acceptable fighter, rather than trying to make a weak unit suddenly awesome. +1 to strength on a tactical squad is a nice bonus but not likely to swing things. Upping a veteran squad with power swords so they're wounding on 3s, or with power lances wounding on 2s, though?

! Biomancer's Rage
| {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile|name=Biomancer's Rage|strength=10|ap=4|type=Melee|rules=Rending(4+), Psychic Focus}} With Smite now an automatic add-on, your next-best buff (Iron Arm, in case you were wondering) has become a special weapon of its own, a smash attack capable of turning marines to paste and potentially making a dent on a tank.

! Biomantic Augmentation
| Instead of shooting, you can cast this on a friendly unit within 6" and give them +1 Strength. If you pass a Psychic test, you can boost this to also add +1 to Toughness as well. Regardless of whether or not you opt for that boost, you're still giving a decent boost to someone, if hamstrung by the very limited range.

This can get theoretically disgusting when coupled with Rad Grenades - a tricky combo to pull off for most armies, as you'll need to buff a charging group of Destroyers or charge them/a Moritat into the same squad as your murder squad, but consider this: a unit of Veterans/Terminators/Bikers armed with power lances, buffed by this power and with the boost from Rad Grenades are hitting before any non-characters and inflicting AP3 instant death on astartes. If you have a character like Farith Redloss, or happen to be the Death Guard under the Reaping Rite of War, you can make this relatively trivial. Just don't expect to get many games with a list like this.
