So I'm building a Grey Knights list for the first time, and I've basically come to the conclusion that all the henchmen models are terrible looking and expensive.

So I'm going to make my own.

I know that for the warrior acolytes I will be using guardsmen and maybe some components from the Grey Knight troop kit, but I'm a little stuck on what to do for psykers.
Any ideas?

also I'm focusing on these two troop types for converting because I haven't planned on putting any others in my list at the moment

I'd look through the Reaper stuff, they have a bunch of models that would fit into that category easily and enough of them to give you some variety.

Yeah reaper minis are pretty decent. The ony problem is there are so many of them it's easy to get lost and not know what you're looking for. Which happens to me lots..

EDIT: I'm considering using Empire flagellants mixed with some cadians, or something similar. The wild look would be a bit cooler than the hunched over scrawny look.
