To me pulling off Armor of Contempt means you're not a normal, garden-variety human. Normal humans can pull it off sure, but it comes from a deep well of willpower and belief in the God Emperor. That, despite popular belief, does not describe the vast majority of Imperial citizens. Billions may believe in the God Emperor but that doesn't mean they believe in him strongly enough or in totality to ward their soul against Chaos.
Anyways, humans win against Daemons the way they always do: overwhelming numbers.
If an obviously official organization offers a large no-questions-asked reward for "odd" children (blanks or psykers) they would be viewed as a payday rather than an unnatural abomination.
1. It'd be like looking at a nuclear bomb that could go off at any minute as a payday. It's hard to monetize something comfortably when you're terrified it will kill you/rend your soul.
2. Psykers are considered by part of the Imperial Tithe. You owe the Imperium your psykers in exchange for its protection (and it's for your own good.) The Black Ships aren't going to pay Imperial Worlds for their psykers when they have a total license to go and get them anyways.

May this turn out to be good, dont turn eternal crusade, plz
It's being made by the same guys who did Van Helsing (IIRC.) The aRPG 2.5d game they cranked out two versions of in two years. So I'm not super hopeful for it, but I'm willing to keep tabs on it. (Unlike Eternal Crusade.)
editThey're going on and on about tile-based randomly generated levels like no one has ever done this before. I see signs of Diablo 3's ideas about what "content that won't bore you" there, like Kill X Creatures daily objectives and missions and shit.
Basically, this looks like Diablo 3 with an online meta-story component, which I don't feel like they've really revealed at all, other than to say it will be there. "There will be stories and stuff that change based on how players decide to do things!" Because it's not like we've been sold ideas like that before that turned out to be weak.
