So first up is my Librarian on Bike. Dark Angel librarians have already been earmarked as a great HQ choice in the new codex; they have the standard 2A/2W (+ force weapon/psychic hood obviously), but are only 65 points base compared to 100 points for vanilla marines and an additional mastery level is only 35 points compared to 50. This is quite a lot for very little points.

Basically I chopped up the Dv librarian figure to just use the torso & sword arm. I cut off his "casting" arm and replaced it with a bike/handlebar arm. I glued him onto a bike with a set of robed legs, and then I mounted the big book from the ravenwing sprue on the front of the bike, and used some rope bits I cut off some decorative pieces from the same sprue to complete the "securing" of the book to the bike. I really like how this looks. I also glued on an auspex since of anyone who I want to give up their shooting attack to use the auspex, it's him.
The best "value" that was immediately touted around the internet is taking the divination disciplines primaris power: prescience. Most people are looking at this as a way to add twin linked to giant IG squads through allies, and I can definitely see that benefit, but for my ravenwing army, pretty much every weapon - except for a few special weapons in standard bike squads and the multi-meltas on attack bikes - already has twin linked so I don't see that as being very strong in this list. I have absolutely zero experience with the new psychic system though, so am looking for a bit of help.

Does anyone have any suggestions for better powers to combine with a large squad of black knights? Especially something to add some protection? Or, say I do manage to score "invisibility" with my first
power roll, is there a different discipline you would suggest I am to get the second power from?
