I don't know, but it seems normal that invulnerable saves shouldn't be allowed to be taken against psycic attacks. I don't know if this is a rule, but discuss?

They can be taken against psychic attacks if the psychic attacks cause wounds. Why should armour/cover block psychic attacks, but not force fields?

I meant that no saves should be able to protect you. Hiding or armor won't save you. But the psychic power should be able to penetrate through the invulnerable save, which is sort of magic, if you think about it.

Almost no psychic powers are some kind of mental attack. Most of them make stuff and burn/bludgeon/mutilate with them. Why would a force field that can stop a defense laser not be able to stop those?

"'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.

He's probably thinking of Psychic Shriek which specifically states no armour save allowed, but the invulnerable save rules override that. While I agree with the reasoning behind it, I think an overall rule change is unnecessary, just update the power listings that are specifically mental attacks to state, "No save of any kind, including invulnerable".

Admittedly it would make witchfire powers actually worth using now, but it'd probably require some rebalancing.
