So right now for my NaNoWriMo project, I'm writing a battle scene between Sisters of Battle and a Genstealer Cult, and I have a question: what sort of psychic powers do the Cult Magi have? Anyone know?

Based on the 2nd Edition list for Tyranids/Genestealer Cult, they had Psychic Scream (An attack on all psykers on the board within 36"), The Horror (AoE Fear), Hypnotic Gaze (what it sounds like), and Catalyst (Frenzies nearby Tyranids).

You can pretty much extrapolate from there other kinds of non-battlefield psychic powers they might have in addition. Figure a lot of things that involve some kind of mind control, as that is what Genestealer Cults do.

Maybe take a look at my new work in progress codex for some ideas?
