Sitting before the psyker and staring at him, i can't decide his primary colors.
The codex has only 1 pic, and WD isn't more help.

Any idea if there is a paint-scheme for psykers?

Something dark, like a Sith?

I'm with Luna on this one (Woah, that sounds weird to me). Go with something Jedi-ish. Tans, browns, and white, or grey, red, and black.

Dark colors seem to fit rogues and heretics.
So really use the same for sanctioned imperial ones?
I mean, its obvious that black is a threatening color, therefore used.

Grey red and black may trip on the inqusition toes a bit.
Tans browns and white may need some effort to differ from etherals but look interesting.

So try no 1:

-dark colors inside to add bright symbols
-maybe greens or greys or browns

-medium colors for clothes and wargear
-maybe also greys or browns

-bright colors for mantle and symbols
-white, maybe yellow, blue?

:"D i so hate GW's colors

Purple has been used a lot in the GW schemes for the old Primaris Psykers. Something grand and powerful.



On the other hand, the 4ed Cadian Sanctioned Psykers were just painted in the Cadian green/grey camo scheme.

@Luna:

QFT.

Bad scheme.

@ ArbitorIan:

Psyker could share the army scheme, but i think a primaris should stand out.
Purple may be nice too.

I'd go with purple, and it has some precedent as a psyker color.

Here is my photo shop on what i think look better ( cadian color )

the one on left is the recolored , other 2 = original

@ Agamemnon2:

Purple is a complicated choice. Hard to find something that fits with purple as main color.
Maybe white, gold/yellow or grey could be secondary. Red, green, blue seem to be unavailable then.

@ Luna:

Photoshop helps a bit, but still crappy model.
I get your idea to make those psykers not too bright.

For me the reason why i think bright color make psyker look AWFUL is,

they are sick and pale looking ( ok frail :"P )

Anymore light colored attire will make them ........ look stupid very stupid.

the darker colors provided a much needed contrast or else -_-:

The common psykers may look sick and weary. Worst of this design is the "sanctioned psyker model".

Posture of the primaris is very strong and and threatening, maybe keep the cannonfodder (the psyker-squads ) pale and make the able ones more healthy?
