'''Primaris Psykers''' (also known as battle-psykers or psyker lords) are extremely powerful [[psyker]]s in the service of the [[Imperial Guard]].
==Overview==
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.

===Wargear===
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.
