So now the lone Pysker has eight mates to go scare people off the board with, still no Overseer though. I'm still pondering which look I want to go for this one. On one hand a Sinister cloacked and hooded character would mesh nicely with the unit, on the other I also like the idea of a armoured Pysker Handler, something like those which appear in Sabbat Martyr by Dan Abnett, armed with heavy pistols, shock mauls with there eyes, ears and mouths replaced or upgraded with bionic components to make them more resistant to pysker tricks. Or maybe a combination of the two.
Any thoughts? What do you think an Overseer should look like?

I used a Mordian sgt. painted in black. However in amongst all of your Praetorians, he might not stand out as much as he did in amongst the Cadians.
Estimated Colonel and colleague,
why not convert the model of the Praetorian lieutenants something? He already has a bolter ... instead of the sword would be an electric whip feasible or not ..?
That's a great looking unit - love the color scheme. I went with a model created from the Cadian command squad sprues - "coat" legs, laspistol, chainsword, and some various decorative bits from the fantasy flagellants sprues: http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Mortant7th/TOEMP10/PSBComplete.JPG
The Shira Calpurnia story "Blind" has some great descriptions of overseers for inspiration as well - they tended to wear a psyker-resistant cage on their heads which protected them from warpcraft and carried both a hotshot laspistol and a blade to deal with psykers who 'have a spot of bother keeping civil'...
