Dezartfox Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 After getting a spare set of Terminators I wanted to make them all into my favourite chapter, Dark Angels. So my plan is to modify all the terminators to become members of the Deathwing! I started with the Librarian first :D I carefully sliced out the head from the Librarian, slightly damaging the hood, this was very difficult but I wanted my Libby to look different to all the other Librarians, plus there are NO helmeted Librarians anymore and I miss that! Here he is pre-greenstuff, http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00227-20091222-1557.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00228-20091222-1558.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00228-20091222-1558.jpg After Greenstuff repair he was primed with Hycote Grey Primer and given a wash of Badab black. I find that this helps give the model contrast and shadows to work too. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/DeathwingLibrarian012.jpg next I gave him two coats of Asurmen blue wash, highlighted the edges and highest points with thinned Ice Blue and then thinned Skull white followed by another wash of Asurmen blue, I've started painting some of the details in :) I like to get the eyes done on a model as early as I can, gives the model character and life. The glow was achieved with thin coats of Scorpion green. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/DeathwingLibrarian013.jpg No idea how I'm going to do the axe yet, he'll eventually have a DW shoulder pad too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdeptusDavidus Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 That's a very nice conversion, the addition of the helmet really makes the model unique. My only complaints are that the hilt appears to be missing on the (very neatly installed) Deathwing icon on his right pauldron, and the blue seems a lot more muted than one usually sees on Librarians. The latter isn't that much of a complaint, though, I suppose - it's certainly not bad, just different. Are you going to paint both pauldrons bone-colored, to get that Deathwing look going? And, if you're open to suggestions, I think DA Green would look really nice for the robe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezartfox Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Ah yes I forgot to mention that! The DA symbols are extremely thin, I was REALLY careful all the way through. The top snapped off :) I've repaired it with greenstuff now, so it has a hilt :D Hmm, I was planning on just one shoulder pad.. but I think two might look better. Will think about that one! And a Green robe sounds excellent. My initial plan was the usual cream, but I thought that might contrast with the armour, face and weapon too much and make the model too busy and the blue too dark, so green it is! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 cream robe would make it look exactly the same as a normal librarian. A deep green would really sit nicely with the dark blue you have used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Lookin good there, DezArtfox. He does seem to need some more DA bitz and icons on him. Maybe something from the Upgrade sprue like some incense sensors and some ceremonial DW daggers. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Kenaz Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I was thinking of doing the same thing for my upcoming Mortifactors project, and replacing the L. Claws model's helmet with a skull. I love the way that the Libby looks with the helmet, GREST work! And the soucre lighting glow from the helmet lenses looks awesome!

SamaNagol Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Personally, looking at it with a bit more close analysis, you should do the clean shoulder in bone with the DW symbol, along with the chest eagle (even though I know you have already painted it red). Then do the loincloth in DA Green. Great conversion work, and a nice addition to any army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I looks really sharp ;) , and by that I mean a soft, flat blue that is done very well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Noctis Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Looking good, I really like the deeper blue. Nicely executed. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Very nice conversion, I like the head-swap. The blue came out nice, and the overall darker tone goes well with the red and the green eyes. Me like! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL. Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 ill be tackling these pesky SH terminators soon aswell, looks like i better screw my head on because the ones ive seen so far have been awesome. i love your librarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint of Steel Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Wow... :wub: These are great! I think your librarian is absolutely fantastic; a complete inspiration. I think the fact that the librarian has a helmet on is great, as you've said there aren't any production librarians wearing them, so this is brilliant. It makes the character look far more enigmatic and mysterious! Consider many of your ideas here stolen... I just need to get hold of a Space Hulk Librarian first. :jaw: I shall be watching this thread with interest mate! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The colouring of the librarian is awesome! I love the grey, and the fact that he has a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 love the librarian conversion - looking forward to seeing him finished. not so sure on the head for the other guy - he looks a bit like he's shrugging. a screaming head facing forward might make it look more like he's about to charge at something instead?

Dezartfox Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Still WIP, but have the rest done, bar one, he is still too WIP to show!

Typical Cricket Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Very nice! That's a good way to get some unique models while making use of the epic Space Hulk minis. I can't wait to see them all painted up! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Commander Vulkus Dorn Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Wow, every time I see someone do something different with the SH termies, it inspires me to convert mine to SW termies. I've got the idea, just gotta get some bitz and things to do it. Great work though, I love to see your termies. You honor your chapter well with these fine additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
