BigBaals Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 This is the Librarian I've been working on for the last few days. I need some help though. I don't like the way a regular Jump Pack looks on him, so I'm thinking of attaching some Sanguinary Guard Wings via green stuff. I need advice on is the color scheme for the wings. I don't want them to take away from the model, and I'm worried that white wings will do just that. I need all you painters out there! How would you do it? http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz101/BigBaals/Blood%20Angels/DSC01329.jpg?t=1283445917 http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz101/BigBaals/Blood%20Angels/DSC01332.jpg?t=1283445962 http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz101/BigBaals/Blood%20Angels/DSC01333.jpg?t=1283446000 http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz101/BigBaals/Blood%20Angels/DSC01334.jpg?t=1283446000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exonec Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 That is an awesome mini! How did you make it? Is it some kind of generic librarian with some conversions? Either way, in the codex (on page 63, Psychic Powers, Wings of Sanguinius) it says: "Two blood-red wings of psychic energy spring from the Librarian's back , allowing him to fly over the battlefield" My suggestion: blood-red wings! :verymad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBaals Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 He's just the standard Librarian with Book/Staff: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...otCatGameStyle= I removed the eagle from the top of the staff, and replaced it with the top of the Sanguinary Guard Chapter Banner. Easy enough! Thanks for the compliment!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurb Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Nice work! Glad to see he isn't in BLUE Armor as well :verymad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranwulf Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Nice! I liked, somehow his colors remember me some "Blood" Chapter with a black carrion bird... Ran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagner Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hi. I would consider painting the wings black. Black and red always work together. In case you worry that it would remember too much The Grim, try something whiteish'. Maybe bonewhite? It would compliment the deep red on the armor and still leave the cloth and the book well visible. In this case I'd use the following vallejo colors: (Basecoat)Leather Brown-> Plague Brown ->(GW) Badab Black wash -> Sand yellow -> (Highlight)Bonewhite . Otherwise, I'd go with black wings. And the model, a very fine specimen indeed! The painting does look Dark and Grim- good work! Is the rest of your army in the same deep red tone? I think the wings would be a nice add-on, so go for it! And ofcorse show us some pictures after you've done it. Cheers, Wagner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpuppet Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I would maybe go with black and then brybrush the wings very lightly with the colour of the armour. i think it would make em look quite mystical. Mudpuppet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBaals Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Awesome, thanks for the ideas all! I think a deep red to almost match the armor, or black with deep red highlights (maybe a 2 or 3 coats of red gore on as a highlight) would be great. My 2 Priests have black wings, so that would work out well. Drybrushing that red on the wings would be pretty awesome... but the red alone is Black, then Red Gore, Ogryn Flesh (or the other brown wash) into the recesses, then Blood Red, Washed with Baal Red, then highlighted with Blazing Orange, and a thinner highlight of Vomit Brown. I use just about the same formula throughout my army. Here are my Vanguard Vets before I'd finished some of the details and basing, and you can see one of my Predators in the background. All of my assault marines have similar red armor. My armies fluff is that they are true Veterans of war. Those that wear a jump packs deep strike into battle often, and the heat of the atmosphere has scortched there armor, hence the black undercoat, followed by less and less red gore, until I put on the blood red, highlight with blazing orange, and liberally wash with baal red. http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz101/BigBaals/DSC01240.jpg?t=1283529840 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentL Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Since I wnated to make my Dante use Wings so he would go well with the Sanguinary GUard, I gave my Libarian Dante's back pack I think it looks decent: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/LanthierFamily/Warhammer%2040k/Blood%20Angels/DSCN0869_1384.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/LanthierFamily/Warhammer%2040k/Blood%20Angels/DSCN0870_1385.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/LanthierFamily/Warhammer%2040k/Blood%20Angels/DSCN0871_1386.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
