Rules

Keep it civil.
No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
No political or social cause agenda pushing.

[Question] Combat Efficient Psykers? (lemmynsfw.com)

In the Inheritance Cycle universe, advanced librarians are inducted into methods of crazy efficient murder. Spells for pinching off a specific artery, severing certain nerves, using less psychic energy than wiggling their finger, and allowing them to slaughter entire armies not under the aegis of an enemy psyker.

Is there any such lore in 30-40k of similar techniques? We can see plenty events of a alpha psykers lifting a hive spire, or flying with angel wings. But severing the spinal chords of an enemy platoon?

Nah. Thats too subtle for 40k.

It also threw me off calling the magic users in inheritance “librarians” and “psykers”.
