Hey guys,

I'm in the planning stage of my DKK army and I want to incorporate psykers... now first and foremost, are psykers even something that makes sense to take with a DKK army? I love to run them in my current Cadian army and I think they would be a nice fit to my play style of DKK. But secondly, the pskers offered by GW don't really fit to the DKK theme, has anyone seen any pskers that could fit it? Or what would be a good way to modify the current GW psykers to make them DKK appropriate? Thanks!

Attached pysker support would be at discresion the of High Command. In a Gaunts Ghost book, some conscripts find themselves along side a psyker battle squad for a short while that engage a Bloodthirster. When going against the warp, fight fire with fire.
The psykers dont have to be from Krieg, just attached to the unit in the same way armour or air support would be.

Get a box of Empire flagellants from WHFB, and cut off the torsos.

Get as many tank commander torsos as you can lay your hands on (ones without medals or any other Bling of War), and affix these to the legs.

Use Cadian Command Sprue arms, cutting off the weapons and hands, then replacing them with open spare hands, arranging them in "I am using psychic powers" poses.

Use a set of any of the following heads to add your DKoK theme:

Alternatively, buy a box of these:

and use the plastic helmets from that.

I like these, I know they're chaos but Death Korps already look pretty mean.

Thanks, I think this may work. I think the Flagellant legs will add to the tattered look of the psykers. Thanks again!
