Eh, just do what every guy spamming primaris psykers/malefic lords seems to be doing these days: Glue a piece of sprue to a guardsman's hand after making sure you hacksaw off his lasgun as messily as possible and call it a "Staff".
This is why I generally dislike the Renegades and Heretics stuff. Seems like at least 3 in 4 games you play against them it's the laziest, lamest conversions you've ever seen proxying whatever the most frustrating army build is atm.
Alternatively, just make some paper cutouts and write "Malefic Lord" in crayon?

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!" |

Am I picking up a hint of annoyance here?

I don't use GW models for my stuff (which is ass because I can't play them at the local GW) but a lot of the Reaper minis make good wizards/psykers (perhaps obviousy).

Mix these:

with your guard models of choice (or just glue imperial iconography on them).

Warhammer flagellants might work, and if you're planning on using a few they come by the box load. Perhaps just add the odd las pistol

I've been playing a while, my first model was a lead marine and my first White Dwarf was bound with staples |

Flagellants are a decent choice, for a start, though I prefer them for priests more than psykers. If you can scrounge some more staves and maybe hand out some laspistols it might sell it a bit better.
I got lucky enough to have a bunch of sanctioned psykers fall into my hands, and so I just run those as the Primaris when I want them.
