With all these Psykos out there it seems to be a never ending amount of different psychic powers.
With all these choices out there I'd like to see what powers you never play a game without, powers you use just for that 1 in a million luck of the dice spawn/squig, or just a power you like the most about.

My personal favorite would have to be Blood Boil from the BA codex, gives me that lucky chance to take out that guard blob priest, that space marine sergeant with a fist; that Nob with a power claw, the aspiring sorcerer in that thousand son squad, etc. All before they become a real pain.

My favorite has to be Zzap! from the Ork codex. No one expects a 36" S10 melta that auto hits, and it's hilarious when it gets rolled.

**Mr Nobody**

Hive Tyrant paroxysm, love giving people strokes.

**GamzaTheChaos**

Null zone

**Gavo**

Indeed. "Oh hai Lysander here's some fun, have fun dying".
I would say Nullzone, it's extremely powerful against very strong units (such as TH/SS Termies) and completely wastes some armies (Daemons).

**HiddenPower**

Fortune.

Its funny how i put my 2 wraitlords in the front in cover ofcourse and declare fortune with Eldrad every turn. Almost every single player completely ignores them not even bothering to even try to wound them for the next 7 turns.

lol I love being a douche

**KingDeath**

Boon of Mutation. Sure, it is a rather useless psychic power, but damn, turning Papa Smurf into a glibbering spawn is fun

**Turkeysaurus_Rex**

Leech essence for the hive tyrant, brilliant power overall IMO

**Gorechild**

Doom, there's nothing better than effectivly saying "If I pass this psychic test your 30 man unit will die"

You're thinking of the Gift of Chaos. That's the psychic power version.

I personally like psychic powers that do more than just act like another ranged weapon, or that simply increase or decrease the likelihood of some standard game event occurring. Stuff like the Lash of Submission, Gate of Infinity, and so on.

**liam0404**

Of course, mis-haping vortex of doom is funny

**shadeyaces**

I like null zone from space marines lash from chaos proxyism from nids doom from eldar

**AlmightyWalrus**

Hammerhand!

If only it ignored armour saves...

**Bennowar**

Jaws Of The World Wolf and Murderous Hurricane both have special places in my heart.

Cast it on Avatar and laugh.

**Juvieus Kaine**

If it counts, Zogworts Curse

"See your badass character?" *pop* "Squig'd"

**Dashofpepper**

Gonna second Zogwort turning ICs into squigs. I have a friend who has a squig collection painted like various ICs. Oh, Eldrad is a squig, here's my Eldrad-squig!

Not so much a psychic power as a random power, but I really like the whole SAG double 6 power that opens up a large blast template sized hole in the warp, and anything touched is simply removed from the board. =D

Great way to kill a Titan right there!

+1

**Feeder_of_life**

Paroxysm

**Kurgash**

Nurgle's rot. Have my sorcerer take off his armor and shout to everyone "I haven't showered in a millennium!!!! SMELL ME!!!!!!"

**Kanluwen**

Not within the Codex proper, but I'm a big fan of the Dark Angels' powers in Deathwatch. "Mask of Shadows" and "True Strike" are pretty freaking sweet.

**stalkerzero**

Probably JotWW. Just something about it that makes it a blast.

Runners up include: Gate of Infinity and Null Zone.

**Doctadeth**

Mind worm....

What part of lurching around the board gibberingly insanely don't you understand?

**purplefood**

Living Lightning... i always imagine it's force lightning that my Rune Priest borrowed from Star Wars.

**ChrisCP**

+! for "Bzzzt Squigged"

**=I= White-Wolf**

Crucible of Malediction

**Far Seer**

'Ere we go! ork weridboy. This power is awesome and its name is too. i love seeing 30 shoota boyz teleport right in front of my opponents favourite unit (terminators for example) and watch their faces as i laugh holding 60 dice that whittle them down...

**Chaos Lord Gir**

Gift of Chaos/Boon of mutation respectively.

Or Lightning Arc, its never let me down!

**steeds of war**

Wings of sanguinius theres nothing more fun then a dreadnoght sprouting wings and flying around

**Acardia**

Personally I am a fan of that stun the broodlord has. Essentially a 50% of stunning his prized fighty bitz while my stealer win combat.
