Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but I decided to create a 'normal' minion psyker to help my character. Under Traits pysker can be chosen at normal level (so far so good), but under talents I am not able to give him a Psy Rating because that I can only select from tier two (and that is tier 3). If I'm seeing this correctly it makes taking a pysker pointless at normal level as the ranges/radiuses of power will be 0 metres. :S

At this point, I don't think it's possible to determine which of the two conflicting statements is supposed to stand.

They are not conflicting.

The psyker trait allows one to purchase the psyscience skill, thus allowing for a variety of psychically aware "watch dog" type minions. To create an active, casting psyker, one needs to purchase a psy rating, which can only be done by a Greater Minion.

I see things as mentioned by this quot. A "full-blown psyker" is possible only as a "Greater Minion"
