I'm thinking about finishing my 1k Sons and creating a distraction Carnifex bruiser.

Do you mean literally using the battle psyker Legion Command upgrade, or just any psyker geared for melee?

 

My build is similar to Zeno's above:

 

TDA sorcerer, battle psyker, combi melta, force axe. At this point he's alredy likely the most capable melee unit in your army, but you can then add Swelled, and then I'd take your pick between undying form and aetherstride. The additional movement is highly useful.

I use it with Incandaeum (relic staff), combi melta + suitable offensive powers (doombolt/smite) and the one that removes invulns is good too.

 

teleport him in turn 2, unleash psychic fury, follow up with shooting auto hit 12" AssaultD6 Stregth 5 AP -2 damage 1 and the combi-melta (2+ BS helps here). anything that is still alive you can try and charge with 5 str 7 attacks with D3 damage (or go swelled by the warp to boost further). 

 

it's worked pretty well for me so far. you can have him teleport him in with some Scarabs for protection if needed.
