maverike_prime Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 So I have an extra Sicarrius body sitting on my desk and I started wondering what I could do with it. After some thought and a little blue take I came up with an idea to build a new librarian. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/DSCN5447.jpg Pretty simple conversion just time consuming. The first thing was I had to carve out the ultramarine icons. That was a challenge but doable. A shield from the Grey knight sprue helped cover up the former Ultra-marine icon on the tabard. The Force Staff and open hand filled in the otherwise missing hands. I took the psychic hood from a grey knight and attached that to the back of the torso. Amasingly, with a straight cut to separate the Psychic hood from the torso, it fits right on the collar. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/DSCN5448.jpg So thoughts? I might use it in my Blood Raven army but haven't decided yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 That, goodsir, is a work of genius. I've been looking for a way to get a nice librarian, and this is it. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seregon Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Nice work, but you missed the a sideways U just to the right of the skull on his abdomen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emp. Champion Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Wow, very nice indeed. Although, it would look cool if you had his left hand holding a ball of flame. Might be too "sorcerer" themed rather than librarian, but would still look pretty awesome imo :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Nice work, but you missed the a sideways U just to the right of the skull on his abdomen. DOH! You are correct. Well a little green stuff to change that to a extended buckle or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybrus Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Love the work, only thing that bothers me is that crotch shield. Its like a phallic symbol, not a imperial symbol =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverike_prime Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Love the work, only thing that bothers me is that crotch shield. Its like a phallic symbol, not a imperial symbol =) see I was really hoping no one else was going to see it like that. *sigh* oh well. Any suggestions about what to do about that? The Ultra symbol on the tabard is basically counter sunk so I can't really just grind it out. At least not with files and a hobby knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Green Stuff it? Make it into a more useful symbol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybrus Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yeah green stuff would be your friend for sure. Fill it in then file it smooth would be what I would go for. I have never worked with that model so I can only go by what you said. Worst case would be once filled you need to sculpt a bit to blend it in, but that should be easy enough with the flat of the afore mentioned hobby knife. Good luck, and I really do like what you have done, that was just screaming at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
