The empyrically attuned minds of Primaris Psykers are steeled against the manifold dangers risked by unsanctioned wielders of the warp's power. These battle-trained psykers support the Astra Militarum's soldiers with eerie prognostication, wards against enemy witchcraft, and tempests of their own psychic might. Though rarely trusted by their peers, few generals would go to battle without a psyker's aid.
Marked by the symbols of the Scholastica Psykana and equipped with a variety of psy-enhancing gear, this psychic powerhouse is armed with a force stave to channel their mental might, with a laspistol holstered on their belt. The Primaris Psyker is posed striding forwards, long coat and sash whipping in an eldritch wind, one hand extended to focus a terrifying psychic manifestation.
Additional information
Primaris Psykers are rare and extraordinary individuals who wield the destructive power of the Warp as a weapon to smite the enemies of the Emperor. They are capable of hurling bolts of ether-energy at their opponents, burning the foes' synapses and searing their flesh from their bones. They are viewed with a mixture of awe and fear by the superstitious Guardsmen whom they serve alongside, and utterly abhorrent to some commanders. However, their ability to combat the magicks of aliens and heretics make them valuable assets. A Primaris Psyker is usually attached to a high-ranking Imperial Guard officer who can direct the psyker's powers as the situation necessitates.
Primaris Psykers march to war in uniforms daubed with wards and sigils of power. They carry a psycho-reactive staff made of rare woods and precious metals, through which they can channel their psychic powers and transform it into a searing weapon capable of cutting through reinforced ceramite and ripping the life force from those it strikes.
Due to the constant risks of daemonic possession, a Primaris Psyker's wargear also includes several fail-safes. Complete micro-circuitry and neuro-active wiring are connected to the psychically attuned crystals embedded in the psyker's hood or collar, designed to bleed away excess Warp energy. These, coupled with cranial surgeries undergone by the psyker to implant neural inhibitors (which tend to blunt the psyker's innate power as well), and a lifetime of training, give the psyker a reasonable chance at avoiding powerful psychic enemies and resisting daemonic influences.
