This is a crazy theory, but what if Space Marines were granted a ton more powers to set up a future release? Reset the clock, cause I think the 4 new powers were to set up a Sisters of Battle release.
The Sisters of Battle didn't really have a 'thing'. Grey Knights have established their Anit-deamon thing. Sisters 'Purging the Heretic' is rather silly, because everyone already does that anyways. Putting the Sisters of Battle into a 'Witch Hunters' role works really well... but why give the Space Marines more psychic powers?
Putting the Space Marines on par with the Eldar, in terms of psychic powers is perfect, if you are about to introduce the one thing that will bring them to their knees. There have been whispers of Sisters of Battle models for years, and they do need an entirely new line of plastic sculpts. Why are they waiting? Maybe the Sisters were still lacking a relevant role in 40k. Perhaps they will be brought in line with the 30k fluff surrounding Sister's of Silence. Some sort of Null effect against psykers. They would likely be 'Battle Siblings' with Imperial Armies, but could be a desperate allies with any army that contains a psyker.
With folks getting all upset about the new powers, perhaps now would be the perfect time to introduce Sisters with a more focused theme of giving Psykers a bad day.
