G3rman Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Back in 4th edition and I was collecting DA, I never really bothered to grab a librarian. I was never a big fan of psyker attacks and didn't like the fluff so I didn't bother, but now in 5th apparently they are very often used in smaller point games for main HQ. I would like to collect one, but I want it to be helmeted. I know all the current librarians are metal blisters with no helmets, so I'm guessing the main thing I need is a staff and a psychic hood to make a normal marine look like a Librarian. Where should I start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Current trend these days is the rear torso of a grey knight attached on to whatever you want. I don't know if a normal marine helmet would fit under the arch of the hood but I would imagine it would as the GK helms fit fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosRaptor Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The Librarians' weapon doesn't necessarily have to be a staff, you could use any sort of weapon as a force weapon really, but I can understand the aesthetic you're going for. Like what Retributis said, it's common nowadays just to use Grey Knight parts, they even have a staff in both of the kits (PA and TDA), though there may be an Inquisition =I= to fill in. Another feature might be robes or a tabard, which can be found in the Dark Angels Veteran boxes and the Grey Knight boxes repectively I think. Hope that helps some <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3rman Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I tried looking at the GK troop model sprues, but it was too difficult to see. I'm guessing that one of them has a back torso that has a hood-like thing behind where the head would be? I also saw the GK had some spears and staffs, so perfect conversion there. Thanks for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the idea. All the Grey Knights have psychic hoods built into their armor, terminators & powered armor alike & are an excellent source for conversion bits, not just for librarians.

cathar the great Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 If you check the very first page of this sub-forum, there is a thread named Librarian from GK-Bits. That should give you all the answers you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxx Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I also made a librarian from my bits box. I used a tabard torso from the BTs, a GK halberd, an old RT type backpack, the Severin Loth type helmet in the BT box and the ubiquitous shoulder-pad-turned-psychic-hood...

RebG Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Have a look at these: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=240063 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=240514 Also, Sevrin Loth is helmeted if you don't want to convert.

His entire retinue is one of my favorite FW pieces. Just gotta get rid of those scorpion emblems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
