Moshutta Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Just thought I'd post the progress with my first librarian conversion. I've used the stripped torso and legs of a DA veteran and a force halberd from a GK that someone at the local game club very kindly donated :lol: I used the famous pauldron-to-hood trick for the psychic hood. But at the moment I am kid of stuck with the pose, I have 3 options I can do, just swapping the right arm and the head. Overall I think prefer the helmeted version, but the one with the bare head just seems to make a more dynamic pose. What do you guys think? C&C welcome!

Rashia the lurker Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Option #2, It looks like he is praying to the emperor for more POWER!!1 :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173213-librarian-conversion/#findComment-2047314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty1109 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Option 3 is definately the better battle pose. He's dishing it out vader stylie! Just a personal thing for me, i hate the half bionic head would go for a different bare head, but thats just me!

LuNCHBiZZLe Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I would go with #3 but with the helmeted head. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173213-librarian-conversion/#findComment-2047323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Targhost Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Option #3 awsome battle pose and allot cooler in my opinion and i like the half bionic head so ceep it or maby add one of the terminator heads whithout the helmet? the one from ordinary terminators have a stern face and the one from assault terminators have one roaring out the "wrath of the emperor" in a blase of fury kind of way :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173213-librarian-conversion/#findComment-2047362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapture747 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Option 2, but please rethink the use of that inhuman looking missile launcher hand. I see it all the time and something about how flat it is along with the right angle at the thumb really destroys any librarian that it is attached to. Maybe a nice bolt pistol instead?

Fenris127 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Option 3 is my favorite, by far. Is that another missile launcher arm you used for 3? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173213-librarian-conversion/#findComment-2047419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshutta Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Cool, thanks for the feedback people! :lol: We have 4 votes against 2 in favor of option #3 I do like the praying pose, but it looks like its going to be the battle pose so far. rusty1109 / Xavier Targhost: I know, I wish I had another head to use but I ran out, the only other options I have is a robed head and the head from the rhino commander, which is strangely enormous!!! I'm going to try and scrounge for some heads at the club this week... LuNCHBiZZLe: I know! You are right, that's I what I wanted to do, but it's such I tight fit with the custom hood that there is no space for the helmet to turn much... Rapture747: I see what you mean about the shape of the hand, but I am planning some nifty GS tweaks that will make it much nicer I think :D Fenris127: That was actually a chainsword arm with the sword chopped off and a hand from the missile launcher arm attached :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173213-librarian-conversion/#findComment-2047433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVNSNTSOLDIER Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Option 1: Looks like he's wispering something Option 2: Daily Librarian prayers Option 3: Chargin his lazah! lol! I'd say pose 3 would be best. Slap a few GS psycic flames or lightening bolts on his casting hand and he's ready for a lick of paint!

Nicorex Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I like option 1 best.. not a pose you see to often. 3 I think is very overused. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173213-librarian-conversion/#findComment-2047820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcL63 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 And now for something completely different... What I like about #2 is the line from his eyes through his hand. When I put a space marine together, I always try to make sure that the pose centres around where the marine is looking. I believe this gives dynamic action poses strength and unity. What I am going to suggest therefore is that you use the force weapon instead of the hand to create the line of vision from the eyes, and give the other hand the librarian's shooter, as someone else has suggested. I'm not suggesting this because there's anything in particular wrong with any of the 3 poses you've put up. I'm just suggesting an alternative you might like to investigate. Other than that, #2 for me; because that's the only one where I can see the strong focus of "here's looking at you sucker!" :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173213-librarian-conversion/#findComment-2047840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdeptusDavidus Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I like option 2. It looks like he's focusing, cooking up some kind of hardcore psyker mojo to unleash on the foes of the Emprah.
