Again, I'll have to find that "any body who dies comes back 1-in 10 any 
time" thing.  Can someone direct me to it?

The problem isn't what to do with the chips, it's not having enough.  Even 
if I start a battle with 10 chips, I find most of them going to keeping my 
NPCs alive.  White ones' use is problematical for improving die-rolling 
anyway.  But when someone opens up on your prized bad guy with say, a NA 
Sniper Rifle, those chips can go awfully quick.

Actually, a Psyker with Negator proved fairly useful the other night.  
Certainly the Doomsayer who kept getting his MIRV negated wasn't happy.  I 
also had a decent line of die-rolling there.  And it's not too hard to 
negate, say, Nuke through situational modifiers.

Unfortunately, that's about all that Psyker can do.  And if a Faith-5 Priest 
hits with a MIRV and gets a raise on the initial roll, it's oft-time game 
over for the unfortunate target.

But until the critters book comes out, definitely some new Abominations (and 
lesser stuff as well) would prove useful.  Once I get a Doomtown page up, I 
hope to devote some time to such stuff.
