Still trying to figure out good uses for my psycannon power armor models. I really don't want to remodel them...

Thinking an inquisitor with the liber heresius to give them scout. This will easily put them within 24" out many things, and at least control center board. Couple this with lots of deep striking/shunt units and they will take the pressure off of your psycannons. This really works better only if you have first turn... otherwise you are just hanging that unit out to die.

Then for extra funsies you can give the justicar a homer for super accurate turn 1 drops.

Also ruining a librarian with 4 rolls of sanctic so I have a high chance of goi for psycannons as well.

Tournaments here still don't like lords of war so no draigo tricks to play with. I just really love my psycannons.

Deploy them in a rhino, get 2 psycannons, scout, shoot out of top. If the book's scout works for vehicles ofc.

PA psycannons should be good for an unit you are camping on an objective, especially one forward enough to provide fire support to the units you are sending into your opponents deployment zone.

I think of the MSU Marine lists I've seen in which a combat squad with a heavy weapon stays on the objective while the other half with an assault weapon rides forward in a Razorback to take the fight into the other side of the table. This may be a good model.

Deep Strike will put them within 12" of the enemy. Deep Strike everything with a Nemesis Strike Force.

Utilize your Inquisitor's servo skulls for more accuracy.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

^ Problem is purifiers and purgation squads can't deepstrike, and strike squads just are not worth my time

I run combat squaded purifiers in rhinos. 2 psycannons out the top and after the rhino drops everyone off the "purgation" side of the squad camps while the "strike" squad runs in for the cleansing flame. everything gets cleansing flame and an extra attack. i have also done it where I drop the "strike squad off and keep driving the "purgation" half around. basically the answer to your question is purifiers in rhinos.
