Psyker

"They will FALL to MY MIND!"

The Black Ships of the Imperium are tasked with gathering psykers from all over the galaxy. Though most are fed into the Golden Throne to aid the Emperor in maintaining the psychic beacon of the Astronomican, those found strong enough for other purposes are often recruited into use by the Imperial Guard as sanctioned Psykers. These mutants may draw upon the power of the Warp, unleashing it upon their enemies. They are also called upon to advise high-ranking officers, with varying degrees of success. Their limited and often sanity-breaking training and meager equipment leads to them being more easily preyed upon by the perils of the Warp than perhaps the much more powerful Librarians of the Space Marine Chapters. That aside, they are still a potent force when deployed and used properly. On the battlefield, Psykers can advise an officer and guide their command, protect him from psychic attack, or fire bolts of lightning from their hands.

Tactics

The Psyker, unlike the Commissar and Priest, doesn't offer benefits to its attached squad. Despite this, it is still a good idea to attach him to something - if nothing else, the Psyker is a rather weak individual and the squad can act as a damage sponge for him. Of course, you'll also get the added bonus of hearing his voice every time you select the squad!

In most cases, it's easier to add a Psyker to the Command Squad than to build them individually, particularly given that the Command Squad variant is available earlier. Since the Psyker serves as a detector, it tends to be a good idea to get one reasonably early against foes that are likely to make use of infiltration (such as Eldar with Rangers).

The Psyker has a number of abilities that could almost be considered essential in certain circumstances. For instance, Curse of the Machine Spirit coupled with Heavy Weapons Teams armed with Lascannons can be used to effectively take down vehicles, compensating for the Heavy Weapons Team's inability to dance or chase enemy vehicles.

Strip Soul can be extremely valuable for taking out enemy heroes. The Tau Commander in particular is susceptible to this, having a relatively small amount of health in comparison to other heroes. Strip Soul also does enough damage to one-shot kill non-reinforcing builder units, which can be a particularly annoying (if excessive) form of harassment.

Lightning Arc has the primary purpose of breaking enemy squads. It deals very high morale damage, dealing more morale damage with more members in the enemy squad. Its physical damage goes down as more members are in the enemy squad, though, being distributed among the many members of the squad. Large, high-damage, high-morale squads such as Warp Spider Squads and Tau Fire Warrior Teams with poor morale regeneration can be completely neutralized by effective Lightning Arc usage.

Lightning Arc does have the curious property of dealing 400 damage to Commander armor, so targeting lone heroes will deal more damage with a shorter casting time than a Strip Soul. Combining Lightning Arc and Strip Soul together is an excellent way to deal mass damage to heroes quickly, especially when hero health upgrades for other races are researched.

Aside from his powerful and useful abilities (which are the main reasons for his usage) he can also add some semi-decent melee heft to your squad and the ability to consistently scatter your enemies far and wide.
