I miss the Psychic Phase
Got into Tyranids with a groups of buddies in 9th edition. They started with Guard, Admech, and Grey Knighrs respectively. The Psychic phase was my favorite, I loved terrorizing my friends with my squad of 6 zoanthropes and a Neurothrope dealing a bunch of mortal wounds. I remember being excited to buy the hive tyrant variants and the broodlord because that was more psychic powers I had access to. Fights with the Grey Knights was a lot of fun because they were ALL psykers and had access to those powers. They felt like a very unique army. Some armies not having access to psykers and psychic powers helped establish army identity and made psykers feel like truly unique forces on the battlefield. When the psychic phase was phased out in 10th (pun intended), both Tyranids and Grey Knights felt like they lost a lot of their identity. My buddy even sold his grey knights, saying that without the psychic powers they just felt like elite space marines (he also collected regular space marines at that point). Having a unit be a psyker doesn’t really mean anything more than a keyword on some weapons nowadays, and maybe a datasheets ability if you’re lucky. I doubt it’ll ever happen, but I fervently hope that one day my favorite phase of the game will find its way back to me and my Zoanthropes will smite once more
