Was bouncing a few ideas around with a friend today after talking about building my own librarian (parts from grey knights, company champion tabard and general space marine parts), and that Blood Ravens have a high instance of psykers my interpertation is that they could potentially be in the ranks (not good enough to be a BR librarian but a psyker non the less) and not in a librarian role.

Our idea was that using the Grey Knight rear torso you could add a hood to pretty much any miniture, either just the sergeants or even randomly amongst the company, painted in the usual Blood Raven colours.

What are peoples thoughts here, good idea to carry the fluff on? just sergeants or random? or an unrealistic idea?

It could be a nice way to indicate sergeants. But realistically, if they weren't good enough to use their powers on the battlefield, I'd doubt they'd be equipped with psychic hoods.

Because of the above average amount of psykers not all are trained or taken from the ranks, their limited abilities gives them a kind of 6th sense meaning typically they project through the ranks quickly, anticipating enemy actions on a smaller squad level.

Even a weak psyker would need the protection of a hood to stop being corrupted by enemy psykers.

or am i talking rubbish?
