We read it differently, then.

**Grey elder**

Njal is a Rune Priest, they throw bones on the ground and yell at the sky. Do you really think any psyker has a chance agaisnt a man so loud mouthed that when he yells it gets windy and cold. Yet all of this is for nothing because he is a Rune Priest a shaman of Fenris and above the petty squables of the imperialist psykers who rely on the power of the warp when rune priests rely soley on the power of Fenris.
He can bring the pain and call down the rain.

**Jereziah**

Mephy FTW, he iz the rulez of psykas!

Going by the current amount of votes, most people think Mephy is the most powerful psyker and I agree. He would totally take take Njal and Tigurius force weapons and beat them to death

**Doctadeth**

Ezekiel.

He has a unique set of pychic powers, including 2 that only he knows. He can drive anything insane enough to not be able to fight, he has very good close combat skills AND he lost an eye to an orc warboss, (Gazhkulls off-sider Nazdreg I believe), only stopping to get a crude bionic and then chopped the warboss's head off and caused the orks to flee.

**DreadlordME!**

Yeah, but he's still NOTHING compared to Mephiston. Cause BA say Blood for the Blood God!

So what you're saying is that Mephiston, a psyker, serves Khorne?

No, just... no.

Ezekial killed Nazdreg? Where's this? Because as far as I know, Nazdreg is still around.

**PoisonWood**

Mephiston (though I will admit to not knowing the full extent of Njal's power) Since I haven't read about it at all.

Speaking of Ahriman, Other then Heresy books, where can I read more about him? (sorry for going off topic) But I want to know where to get more sources as A Thousand Sons does not explain his power(well his power after that book)

Also are the librarians that can be voted for in this pole undisputed Librarian elites? Like lesser talked about Pyriel of the Salamanders(Da'kir also) or any standout Stormseer's? (White Scars)

Indeed! Ive never seen such mastery of the warp!!!!

**Samus_aran115**

Ahriman

**Zid**

I'd say Mephy... hes a daemon prince for gods sakes!

**Lord Magnus**

Mephistion is now.. But Ahriman definitely was one of the best psykers the Imperium had eve seen.

Sorcery, as I've always understood it, is not something distinct from psychic power but a SUBSET of psychic power; all sorcerers are necessarily psykers, though not all psykers are sorcerers.

Luther seems to be becoming one.

**Melissia**

The saddest part is that GW hasn't expounded upon powerful primaris psykers, whom are definitely stronger than the average Librarian..

.......strangely they both deal with warpcraft and get nailed by SITW........its kind of like saying "My pet is a canine, not a dog"

Sorcerers delve deeper into power and can push themselves beyond the scope and limits of traditional pyskers though they do risk more the sorcerer weilds greater power think of it like wizards and witches one studies and perfects the other throws a curse at the drop of a hat. They aren't alike they are different but still I am putting Tigurus because his fluff is ridiculous all you have mephiston doing is sporting psychically enchaned heat-rate and muscles and nervous system it's one discipline of pskers and not a overall understanding and practicality to his effect.

Personally if this has turned to most powerful psyker then it's either Eldrad or Chaos itself.

**Shinglepants**

Ahriman for sure! He was badass at the time of the crusade and has had plenty of time since then to master the warp.

**Gree**

I would not contest the idea that the best of the best Primaris psykers are stronger than an average Librarian. But an average Librarian should be at least as strong if not stronger than an average Primaris psyker.

Index Astartes Librarians

The Librarians of the Space Marine Chapters are mighty warrior-mystics, inspiring figures who wield incredible and devastating powers. They are an integral part of the Adeptus Astartes, outstanding warriors who utilise their psychically enhanced wisdom and knowledge to fulfil the role of oracles and psychic communication within the Space Marine Chapters. Such powers come at a price, however, and only those with the strongest willpower are capable of withstanding the constant pressures that come with psychic awareness. For every successful psyker, there are countless others whose lack of control threatens to doom them to an eternity of torment. Of those psykers whose strength of will enables them to control their powers, the most highly trained and potent are the Librarians of the Adeptus Astartes.
…….
Space Marine Librarians are amongst the most potent of all Mankind's psykers, highly talented and trained to the highest levels.

**Surtur**

Njal would rip your heart out with his teeth if he heard you call him a Librarian...

**Supreme Kai**

Njal.

**Void__Dragon**

In terms of overall psychic potency and versatility, probably Tigurius. Although often accused of such, Tigurius and his entry in the Space Marines codex is not really a Wardism. The whole Hive Mind thing and being the best psyker in the Imperium? Was in the 4e codex too.

If ex-Librarians count, undoubtedly Ahriman, I would say.

Where?

**JohnnoM**

Da'kir from the tome of fire trilogy.

**PoisonWood**

Yes yes yes Da'kir yes

**b1soul**

canonically, it seems that Tigurius may be the most powerful loyalist Astartes psyker

I like Ezekiel and Mephiston the most, not much of a Wolves fan

Of course, I think Ahriman outclasses them all

**Jimsolo**

I said Tigurius, because I DO believe that he's managed to tap the Hive Mind.

**Langston128**

Lord of death is the powerful, but njal is just about equal

**TheAngrySquig**

On the whole staffs are used as a focal point, prayers are used as a shield, books are used as 7th grade girl journals, that is not explicitly true, I have seen a Libby club the crap out of many a xeno with the spine of his book

**Blood Swordsman**

Really, the term "powerful" is rather subjective. Sheer psychic power is probably Ahriman, maybe Varro, sheer beatstick ability is Mephiston, sheer boosts and presence is Njall. And a slight nit-pick, but the Space Wolves believe their power comes from Fenris, so should he be included? He probably wouldn't like being included among psykers.

**teban**

Ephrael stern would pop their heads

**Furyou Miko**

Ephrael Stern is neither a Librarian not a Psyker.
