Are the psykers worth there point costs? I was gonna have them in my 1500 point tournament list just for space marines. They are AP D6 large blast, which seems like a 50/50 chance of killing a lot of marines. Or would you recommend something else?

Yes and no......
Weaken resolve is usefull, and used with a Primaris Psykers "Psychic Shriek" it can be lethal. Also against Psyker heavy armies they can really do some harm and ruin the enemies pschic abilities
Their Soulstorm can be very useful too, however its random AP can and does hurt its effectivness. Although the one time you destroy a squad of terminators with one large blast will vindicate their inclusion!!
Some people love em, some don't.

You can't use 'Weaken Resolve' from inside a Chimera, as it is not a shooting attack, you need LOS and you can't use the Chimera's windows to use the power. This made the unit a lot worse :/

Unforunately weaken resolve only lasts for the end of the shooting phase so you cant use it to mess with enemy psykers, i know because i have tried and found out that i couldnt but it still is amazing with snipers or artillery to pin big units and soulstorm can be good just dont rely on it as a heavy infantry killer.
