AnDyzZzoRe Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 so ive wanted to custom build a librarian for a while as im not too happy with the GW models, and had been kit bashing for a while, so below are the results so far. as to the bolt pistol I am aware that with WYSIWYG it isnt legal, but i wanted a cool pose for him sorta like 'I dont even need to look ill use my foresight to shoot this guy in the face as he sneaks up on me' kinda look. The sword below him is his Force Weapon which I will greenstuff a scabbard and chain on so it hangs around his waist. He'll have just a plain power pack with a book mounted on top facing over his head as well. (I know the DA shoulder pad is meant to be on the left, but i just preffered it on the right this time) The captain is just a throw together because I wanted a guy holding his helmet up to inspire the troops. Although you cant tell i drilled out the inside of the helmet to make it look slightly more realistic to hold. http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/7923/img2012.jpg By andyzzzore, shot with Canon PowerShot A450 at 2009-04-28 http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/3293/img2011.jpg By andyzzzore, shot with Canon PowerShot A450 at 2009-04-28 http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5773/img2008k.jpg By andyzzzore, shot with Canon PowerShot A450 at 2009-04-28 http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/7671/img2010p.jpg By andyzzzore, shot with Canon PowerShot A450 at 2009-04-28 http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/5549/img2007v.jpg By andyzzzore, shot with Canon PowerShot A450 at 2009-04-28 C&C please! I'm not the greatest painter and i havent even finished the undercoat for some parts but I would love your feedback, these are the two first real unique poses I have made and I'm fairly proud of them.

Brother Iencub Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 The blue guy doens't reasemble a libby in any way, im sorry. Mayby by adding robes/tabard and a staff(or a power weapon, you're choice.), some scrolls or books, and those keys that every libby seems to have. painting is nice though. DA captain looks good, maybe some washes on the metal and it will look great. I don't know why, but the helmet-holding hand seems grimey and dirty..don't know why, but i think that is letting the model down a bit. Overall, good stuff.

AnDyzZzoRe Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 urgh, yeh i know right now all his bitz arent on him, but I do understand he doesnt look too librarian-y, hopefully when I get everything done he will I have a whole bunch of seals, a set of scrolls, his book, and the tabardy thing that goes between the legs to add on. As i said above 'The sword below him is his Force Weapon which I will greenstuff a scabbard and chain on so it hangs around his waist.' I see what you mean about the hand, the photos arent too great but i will have a look at it in the morning and see what i can do. I'll be able to paint more at work tomorrow so I'll update it hopefully tomorrow night Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167209-wip-da-lib-proxy-captain/#findComment-1970042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad III Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 What you could do instead of one of the bolters is I know the lib in terminator armor has a really awesome pose with a casting hand type deal. I'm pretty sure the hands aren't that much bigger on termies than on PA guys so you could definately try that. Otherwise they look really good.

Alys Dwr Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I don't much like the librarian, but the idea is a good one and i understand he isn't finished so i look forward to seeing him progress. The master on the other hand, I love that pose and might have to borrow it for my up-coming company master redesign. I've never though the company master box set lends itself too well to the unforgiven, the imagery was always too roman-esq but you have shown me the direction to take it.

AnDyzZzoRe Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thats understandable, looking at him now, even I dont see a librarian B) But hopefully once i get further along on him it'll start to show. Thanks for the kind words on the captain, I have the DA captains and although I like them, the poses are just too static and have a more parade ground feel, rather than inspiring the troops to kill in the name of the Lion and the Emperor :) I'm at work now, and forgot some of the bitz for the Lib, so I'll just do some more detail on him and update it tonight Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167209-wip-da-lib-proxy-captain/#findComment-1970627 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the hands aren't that much bigger on termies than on PA guys so you could definately try that. Otherwise they look really good. Or failing that you could use the hand that normally supports the missile launcher (the left hand), that's what I've used before, the fingers are already straight so all you need to worry about is the thumb.
