Sooooo...
Throughout my travels through the interwebs, I have seen the word "Psykers" spelled "Psychers" by many a person. I see where this is coming from (you don't spell "psychic" as "psykic") but as far as I know GW has always spelled it "Psyker". Is this another British vs. American spelling issue, or something completely different?

Psyker and Psychic.
A psyker is an entity that uses psychic powers.

'Psycher' is just someone crossing the spelling wires.

8000 points of XI Legion the Space Vagabonds, they can adapt their tactics to represent any and every Legion and Chapter as needed because they were created by the Emperor to be the ultimate tactical power. They have faked their disappearance in order to infiltrate every part of the conflicts in the galaxy.

8000 points of Tau/Craftworld Eldar/Necron because the Space Vagabonds can also emulate their wargear and tactics.

Victories: ALL
Losses: NONE (My armies have the psychic ability to conjure a cataclysmic storm whenever they are about to lose. This allows the Space Vagabonds to teleport away while releasing power waves that destroys the battlefield and so every battle is a victory)

Psyker is the way that GW has always used it.
From RT 40k onwards.

I've also seen Pyscher (Pisker) used. Sloppy typing.

Spelling is not a strongpoint amongst many teens these days.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
