The Wy’tari or more normally known by wider Necromunda as the Nomad Stormcaller are the psyker? sorcerer? magic unga-bunga nature druids of the Ash Waste Nomads.
Overview
Yeah, as you can imagine. No one really knows if these guys are actual psykers or sorcerers. All we know is that these guys have a penchant for conjuring dust storms in areas where there shouldn't be any dust storms.
These space shamans are always bound by the Dustback Helamites they ride on, and are basically the religious leaders to the Nomad Chieftan's societal and military leaders of a clan. Since the Nomads works best under the element of surprise, the Stormcaller serves an important unit in creating said surprise in the first place - so as the thickest clouds roll in, the Stormcallers begin the killing.
Nevertheless, their ability to influence over the weather is very, very sus. Although some more level-headed folks may point that their supernatural talents might be more mundane; pointing to their Stormcaller Staves as some sort of STC-derived weathering tool. Given their exposed wiring, this might be the case.

On Necromunda, these are your alternate champions and support unit. Like the Dust Rider Prospects, this fighter is always mounted on a Helamite, and is adaptable to melee or support roles more than shooting. Critically, it can also manipulate the Wastes’ weather systems to alter the Visibility rules in use during a game. This special skill is called the Stormwalker. Using it allows you to gain +2” to your Movement if you start your activation on the battlefield surface.
Although it’s conditional, it’s not a difficult condition, and this is a significant bonus, especially when double moving. There is some potential utility for this, especially on the Stormcaller, who is always mounted for a base Move value of 8” – that’s some impressive mobility on a combat-capable fighter.
