Kaptejn Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hey all! Since i'm currently raising an army from scratch i bought the dark vengeance librarian for 2 bucks at ebay. Imo he looks way more badass than standard librarians. Although I'm new to w40k i figured that i had to do some light-weight converting on his left shoulder guard and chest. I carved out the shouldrr pad and Replaced with one spare i had from my DC box. http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/9/cyme...21023235521.jpg The tricky part is what to do with the chest. Should i just even it out and make a blood drop with Some greenstuff? My painting is so far close to horribad so evening out the peice ane do some Free-hand painting isnt really an option :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelsWithBaals Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I did that for both the shoulder pad and chest and it worked out great, just use a sharp knife to shave the sword off, then some green stuff and your set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptejn Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'll carve him out first thing tomorrow then :P I noticed that he on his right shoulderpad and belt buckle got some sort of horned skull, is that something that's specific for the dark angels?

The horned skull is the badge of office for Librarians. IIRC, the horned skull is used for Epistolary ranked psykers, with Codicers having an open book with lightning bolts, and Lexicanium having a scroll with lightning bolts.

They are the pskyer ranking system, defining the Librarians experience and role in the Chapter. http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Librarians Edit: Here's a wiki link. It has a section that covers the different ranks of Librarians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodReavers Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I tried greenstuffing blood drops on my angels before, but I've had much better success with a small triangle of plasticard shaved and shaped to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelsWithBaals Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I usually just make a ball of green stuff then pinch and roll one end, perfect teardrop usually (can be shaped with the knife after if need be to be more flush with the surface, especially the pointy end). Before I forget, there's also a sword with wings emblem on the right lower leg, I glued mine before I started converting and it looked hard to remove so I left it as it isn't super visible, but if yours isn't glued it'll be easier to remove. Hope to see some pics of your model once it's complete!! good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicJ Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I maintain that sanguinus had a literal sword and wings. The lions were only metaphorical. Therefore the markings are technically correct, the best kind of correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
