What would the best psychic buffs be for an AM Platoon squad... and I mean a complete Platoon like the following:

1x Command Squad (5x models)
5x Infantry Squads (10x models each)
5x Heavy Weapons Squads (9x models each)
3x Special Weapons Squads (6x models each)
1x Conscripts Squad (20x models)
+Ministorum Priests

That is one unit with 138+ models in it.

Now add to that:

Draigo, and two ML3 Librarians rolling Divination for Prescience (reroll all missed to hit), Misfortune (all attacks against target unit count as Rending), and Forewarning (4+ invulnerable save)... Foreboding and Perfect Timing wouldn't be bad either. Ministorum Priests provide Zealot, and War Hymns.

What's the best way to break AM mobs with GK Librarian buffs?

prescience, hammer hand? perfect timng, 4

anything from divination,..... or shrouding/invisibility

Heya soz but as I understand the astra militarum rules stated in the codex it its not possible to do that...

it states in the codex that combined squads applies to infantry squads only..

quoting the codex here:
#Combined Squad (Infantry Squads only): Infantry Squads have the option of forming Combined Squads. The decision to form Combined Squads must be made immediately before determining your Warlord Traits.

If the Astra Militarum player wishes to deploy his forces in this way, then any Infantry Squad may join another Infantry Squad from the same platoon. For example, an Infantry Platoon consisting of a Platoon Command Squad and three 10-man Infantry Squads can instead choose to deploy as a Platoon Command Squad and a single 30-man Infantry Squad, or a Platoon Command Squad, a 10-man Infantry Squad and a 20-man Infantry Squad. If you decide to form Combined Squads in this manner, they are treated as a single unit for whole of the game.#


and the second point is hvy weapons teams only have 6 models in each squad...not 9?

would have been a nice way to create one massive blob but atm the only blobs we have are either 5 infantry squads from the same platoon creating a 50 guy unit ...you can obviously add an independent character there or a commissar or priest... or alternatively taking a unit of 50 conscripts...
