==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===
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.
