Vanilla SM: Level 1, Bolt Pistol + Force Sword, Null Zone + The Avenger. (The Avenger because I don't run Sternguard, and because roasting 5 - 6 enemy models who get close with a S5 AP3 flamer is fun.) When we lose the Psychic Powers in our book and get shifted over to 6th Edition rules, if I run one, it'll still be level 1 and piddle around being a cheap HQ.

DA: Force Sword, Bolt Pistol, Level 2 Divination. There's no reason to give him much else, since his job is to hang out and bless Prescience on your big guns.

When we have to roll powers, my librarians are going to collect a lot of dust. It's their turn, nothing personal, happens with every edition change.

3rd I fielded a lot of chaplains (Just like the other HQs, but with a free 4++, power sword, and he hates you)
4th was the era of captains (Ld10 for everyone? sign me up)
5th is Librarians
6th I'm expecting good things for the MotF, it's his turn.

This applies to all MEQ armies, how do you run your psyker HQ's?

For SM I always take him naked and just keep him in the back to prescience a group of plasma devastator's. If I have a few points left over I'll slap a stormbolter on him and let him fire at anything in range just to utilize the model.

Keeps your HQ safe, synergizes with a DEVASTATING unit. Great use of a 100 point HQ.

For BA I generally do the same OR:

Take advantage of being able to cast 2 abilities, Blood Lance and Shield of Sanguinius

Blood Lance rarely get's played around by opponents, especially for the first couple casts.

Shield is great too, 5+ cover to anything within 6" and the great part is you can cast both, you are asked to cast shield on your opponents shooting phase.

So I'll stick him with a group of Assault Marines in a Rhino and give him a battle loadout including a stormbolter

What do you do with yours?

I hope you're not taking prescience on your C:SM space marine librarian.

I hope you're not taking prescience on your C:SM space marine librarian.

Was just about to say the same thing, AFAIK C:SM can't take Divination.

For my marines I run biomancy and telepathy. I really don't know why, I guess I just like those tables powers.
