Hey all, what are the most widely sought after powers for tigurious? up until the new marine dex came out, I've only played orks, so I am completely unfamiliar with librarians and the new psychic powers in general.

I understand that divination is a great table (and probably the main reason that people take tigurious to begin with) but what powers exactly should I be looking for, and what are their best applications? If I get a certain power. for div, what are other powers that attack well with them? I know this is a total noob question, but I am a total noob when it comes to using psychers. (orks

I will be running a list with regular tac marines, several flyers, some LoTD, and some dreads. I'm obviously open to his uses with other units as well, but my only limit is No bikes.

I have been taking three Divination powers with him. Perfect Timing, Prescience, Precognition, Misfortune...all great powers. However, there are times when branching out is right, I think. In my game yesterday, I would have been seriously helped by taking a Telepathy power and hoping for either Puppet Master or (the other mind control one who's name I can't recall). So, point being, Div is the best, but be willing to branch out when the occasion calls for it.

I am a big fan of Telepathy: Invisibility, Puppet Master, Hallucination, Shriek, all good.

Against Tau, I go Div or telekinesis instead

I believe it comes down to the unit you have him join.
For example, if he hangs with Sternguard, giving them prescience, perfect timing and misfortune, they will annihilate anything they look at.

I stick him with a group of Centurions and go Telekinesis hoping for Gate of Infinity, and then skip over to Divination with any remaining rolls for Perfect Timing and the one that gives an Invulnerable save.

In divination:

- the primaris is a no-brainer
- the 4++ is great to cast on high value units (I cast it on an 8 man HG squad with Calgar for some serious death star, also great on Tiggy's own squad since he doesn't have a ++)
- the counterattack/normal-BS-overwatch is great on a sternguard squad, specially combined with Prescience
- Misfortune is really good but unlike the blessings, it can be denied
- the reserve one isn't that useful with Tiggy
- the "psyker rerolls all saves and wounds" is better for DPs and such
-I forget one...

Ignore cover...

Thanks everyone for the great advice so far! Another stupid question: can thos div powers like perfect timing target vehicles (flyers specifically)?

It depends. Some powers affect the psyker and HIS UNIT and others can be targeted, like prescience.
