Emperor's Furor Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Does anyone know what they look like? I seem to recall the Lion reinstated them with the beheading of a Chaplain, but I can't find the book/story it happened in and was wondering whether they wore the blue? I'm thinking of altering the dark vengeance librarian into a heresy librarian for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Think it might have been a robe based thing... From Fallen Angels, those inducted to the "higher mysteries" be it the librarium, tacticae etc had a stripe around the bottom of their robes.. As for the story you were referenced it is from "The Primarchs" and it didnt specifically go into the librarians uniforms. But now I am off to skim through Fallen Angels..

TheForgottenAngel Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The embroidery on the edges of the robes is one way to distinguish those privileged to the higher mysteries. There is a description of the force staff that a Dark Angel librarian has in Descent of Angels. I'm sure there is more description as well. However that was prior to the adoption of the Calibanite customs and traditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 So any idea if the armour is blue or whether the robes are the traditional cloth colour? I was thinking of doing his armour in black to emphasise that it's heresy era with perhaps the bone like robes but with the chest part being the emblem in black with the emblem in red.

corai Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 AFAIK, the blue armour was a codex thing. I don't think any of the legions so far have been shown to have differently coloured Librarius armour from their standard legionnaires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I looked it up... White surplice with a line of "Rubys, emeralds, sapphires or onyx" sewn into the hem... So I say black armor, white surplice and that stripe on the bottom in blue... What does everyone else think?You might have gotten more answers in the DA subforum?

Emperor's Furor Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Ok then, that's great I don't want to stray into black templar territory with the scheme, so white would probably be better rather than the traditional cream like robes.

Cloud Runner Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think the different colours on the robes is a nod towards 1st edition Space Hulk, specifically the genestealer expansion which introduced psykers. Deathwing librarians had gold shoulder trim, and the colours of the gems denoted their rank. I'm going to do mine with black armour, white robes and a coloured trim. I'll be adding other details to help mark them out as librarians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgottenAngel Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 The horned skull on a shoulder pad or on their chest would work very well as it is described in the HH series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
