Building a Jump Pack Librarian


Recommended Posts

Well, the title says it all really. I decided to want to make a jump pack Librarian for the army I am building, but I am in need of some helpful information.

 

The buyable Libbies all look great, but they will look horrible with a jump pack on. So I really just want some advice on what to use to make a librarian.

 

I was thinking the DC box really has some great kits to make him look all special and nice and also has awesome jump packs. But to really make him a libby I'd need the shroud/tabard and the psychich hood as well and maybe a real force weapon and book as well. So, I am just looking at advice for great plastics to use.

Metals are also acceptable, but they should be usable without cutting as I do not have the correct tools to cut metal available.

 

So, thoughts/ideas/examples available anyone?

For the shroud/tabard you can buy the Dark Angels upgrade box. There a lot of tabards in that one.

Psychic hood will be a bit more difficult. I suggest you make one from greenstuff are chop a helmet to pieces so you kind of only have the 'raised' areas left (if you understand what I mean)

Force weapon can be anything of a close combat weapon (power sword, power axe.... maybe use the handle of a thunder hammer and get some fancy eagle on top of it?)

 

Hope I gave you some good ideas...

Heh, funny you would bring up the thunder hammer and fancy eagle Silkor. My Jump packin' Librarian is made just like that.

 

DC box, used a pair of legs with loincloth and took the hammer arms, chopped of the hammerhead, glued on a shiny eagle from a razorback and made the shaft longer so it now looks like a staff. The guy looks quite ok.

The only thing I really haven't fixed is the hood. Since I play an all helmeted army I just gave him one of the helmets from the DC box. I will try to fix a hood for him in the future, but since it's regular wargear you don't have to do it under the rules of WYSIWYG, or am I wrong?

 

BTW, it really rocks to deep strike in with a full assault squad, sang priest and a librarian. Blood Lance those land raiders and pistol whip everyone nearby.
