Simiel Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 After returning to duty after a period of... stasis... I'm eager to read field reports on our chapter Librarians and how they've been performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Well welcome back! I can't really comment as I've just switched over to the Best Angels, whoops, Dark Angels from the Iron Hands. I think there are a few Brothers and Sisters that use a Mastery Level 2 Librarian with Interromancy. Hope that helps a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Definitely...actually, I prefer to take TWO ML2 interromancers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabbala Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Most effective can be awfully subjective, as it depends on what your army looks like, who the Lib will be running with, and who your opponent is in my opinion. That said, I generally run two ML2, one with Interromancy the other with Pyromancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Jay Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'll tell you what, I just played my first game of the new codex against Necrons and Seed of Fear was about to make him cry. Suddenly army wide ld10 wasn't as boss as it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smacking Necrons with anything is my general strategy. I find the less you smack them, the more they melt your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Jay Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I had a ML2 liby in terminator armor with a DW Knight squad. I was fine being within 9 inches of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SvenONE Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Keep them away from things that can beat them up, or at least stick them with people who can fight the nasties long enough. Our psychic tree is really good as others have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldria Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Man you guys have far better luck than me then with just a single ML1/ML2 librarian. (maybe im too used to my seer council or librarius conclave) but My librarians very seldomly do anything with their powers. If i have one ML2 libby - I'm usually taking him for a cheap HQ to drop with a shooty unit. I often fail the psychic rolls. because im getting 3 minimum warp charges per turn. That's enough to reliably cast a single 1 warp charge power, which very often doesn' make a difference for me.Haha, maybe I'm just sour as all my DA games with the new codex (3 games so far) I've tried the new Interromancy powers with a single ML2 Libby, and i either rolled powers that were fairly useless or just too high of a warp charge cost and I never succeeded in casting them.

CarbonBased Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Caldria, sounds like a case of "Everything counts in large amounts." More dice is always nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VorpalPoolNoodle Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I tend to use a level 2 with Pyromancy, but then I like burning things. Like orks. Haven't had a chance to use Interromancy yet, but I can only imagine what Seed of Fear is going to do to the boyz I usually face. Their player already gripes about having to be subject to leadership rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldria Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Caldria, sounds like a case of "Everything counts in large amounts." More dice is always nice. Haha, yup - very true. I'm already bad enough at rolling 2+ for my termies, so rerolls and/or more dice are important to me xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shubniggurath Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I played 4 games (3 x 1000, 1x 1500) last friday, all of them with one ML2 librarian on bike (just lost a game at 1k vs those damned Harlequins, btw. I love the new codex!), so I was able to use those sweet new psychic powers.To me, the best one is without any doubt ''Aversion''. Forcing a enemy unit within 24'' to only make snap shots was extremely useful. Got it in my two games against Astra Militarum: in the first game, I was able to negate his tanks squadron's shooting for 2 turns before charging them and destroying them with Black Knights, and in the other I targeted his DAMNED thudd guns (which I loathe with primal hatred) and they would not even shoot once, and the proceeded to destroy them with a drop podded Dreadnought (on which I casted Righteous Repugnance, which gave him 6 S10 attacks on the charge!). This psychic power is really strong, especially when you play Deathwing et Ravenwing, so you can negate your opponent's most dangerous shooty units with a single warp charge. Plus, it almost made my opponent rage quit! Righteous Repugnance is nice, especially if you can cast it on Black Knights. 5 S5 rending attacks on the charge, yes please?The two focussed witchfires are a little underwhelming, as focussed witchfire aren't especially good with Look out, sir!... But casting Mind Worm + Trephination seems like a nice combo.Against Harlequins, I was able to cast Mind Wipe. While I was already loosing the game, it did debuff his thriced-cursed Solitaire. Against a big juicy deathstar, It'll be really fun and rage-inducing. Wasn't able to use Maelstrom of Misery (but it doesn't look that interesting), nor Seed of Fear.
