I want to try out Tigurius in a game this weekend, and was thinking of attaching him to a squad of Assault Terminators. Has anyone tried using Tigurius, and can they give me any advice?

He is a touch too costly and a teeny bit too fragile...
That said he is pretty powerful as far as psykrs go but an Eldar army will hamstring him if they bring their psykers along... which they will.

The best unit you could attach him to?



Probably the hot water unit. Sit him up there to contemplate his shameful abilities for his outrageous cost.

I put him Ina drop pod with sternguards with combi melta then warp him around the board shooting everything.

Yeah. I have used him and he IS really costly. The new grey night libis are about the same price though. as for fragile. yes but he can give himself and the unit he is with a 5+ invuln. I would say that if you had enough locatore beacon in your army that putting him in a dead ard shooting unit and then gate of infinity him around the board, that could definitly be a headache for some armies.

He is too expensive for what he does. Just go with a regular librarian and spend the remaining points on a couple more models.

Vanilla marines really need to build their lists around one psychic power (usually null zone with lots of low AP/power weapons or gate of infinity to with a lot of locator beacons around). The other powers are nice in specific and uncommon situations but not really game changing. There is almost no reason to cast 3 powers in one turn especially since you can only make one shooting attack. Any unit you stick him in he will do nothing for that a regular librarian with smart power choices couldn't do MUCH cheaper. Outside of apocalypse his reserve manipulation is pretty useless too. Unless your playing for fun take a regular libby or maybe one with terminator armor if hes going to ride in a land raider with terminators. He almost costs as much as a land raider, id rather just pay the few extra points and have a raider and not some two wound crap model with no invul save.
