KnightCommander_Almaric Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hello Brothers, My Flesh Tearer Army is taking shape now, it now has the following: 20x ASM 20x Tac Marines 5x Devastators 5x DeathCompany 5x Sanguariy Guard 5x Honour Guard 1x Stormraven, 1x LRR, 2x Rhino/Razor's , 1 Vindi My problem is HQ models. I want a Librarian & Apothecary to go with JP Assault Squads, however i dont know which model looks best with the JP's on. so brothers, which model do you think is the best suited to having a JP or should i go for making one of my own? Cheers KCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Admetus Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It partly depends how you want to outfit him, due to weapon choice (axe, sword and staff all being different now) - of the 3 GW ones, I think the one with the Force Sword is the most appropriately posed for a jump pack model. I personally converted mine from the death company box, and think he looks a tad more dynamic, but can never quite shake the feeling that he's just an assault sergeant painted blue.

KJB Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Sevrin Loth from Forge World, greatest librarian model ever made... http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Red_Scorpions/MAGISTER_SEVRIN_LOTH-CHIEF-LIBRARIAN-OF-THE-RED-SCORPIONS-WITH-HONOUR-GUARD.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushtarador Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The models from GW are really horrible in my opinion :/ I scratchbuilt mine using DC bits, a robed BT breastplate (the one to the left I think http://www.spikeybits.com/media/12/a2079181332e43808275a7_l.JPG ) and a head with a cowl ( http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/images/dark_angels_head_6_large.jpg ), then gave him a GK halberd. Looks very cool and stands out The libby from dark vengeance look awesome as well, you just have to get rid of the DA bling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSauce Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yeah I converted a DV libby. Jump pack fits fine on him after a little modification, and he's an awesome model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Maikel Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 You could also nab the back half of a Power Armoured GK torso and marry it to a BA chestplate. I think they're compatible. Then you'd have a bulit-in psychic hood and could assemble the rest of the model however you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjoad Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I've been having a similar quandary lately. The GW options are pretty awful, and Loth is awesome, but at $50+shipping, that's far too pricey. Does anybody know of any non-GW/FW companies making decent Librarian options. Al I usually see are Nazi Orks and Razorback turrets on the 3rd party miniature makers.

CaptainDarius Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm using the DV librarian. I shaved off the DA icon from the front, removed the left shoulder pad and used another from the sanguinary guard kit (I think). I magnetised the left arm so I can use and axe or something later on. The jump pack is from the DC kit and also magnetised so I can use a normal backpack.I'm pretty happy with it. For inspiration: With jumppack http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p485/CaptainDarius/Blood%20Angels/th_L_front_JP_zpsb0a1f2c8.jpg With standard backpack http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p485/CaptainDarius/Blood%20Angels/th_L_front_zps0cae1261.jpg Options http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p485/CaptainDarius/Blood%20Angels/th_IMGP6188_zpscadbaeed.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yeah I would go with the DV one, I've picked up one myself to convert. i'm quite a big fan of the Tigurius model to convert as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjoad Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I have next to zero modelling experience, but that doesn't look like too much...something OK to make my first attempt, anyway. Thank you. And I have a metal Tigurius that I'm using now...let me tell you, the Ultramarines have some models I love, but they are all COVERED in the "U" logo. Too much effort to get those off of pewter.

Venerable Jazzman Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Sevrin Loth from Forge World, greatest librarian model ever made... I have to disagree, this was the greatest librarian ever Certainly the most brutal one I ever made. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/fatjazzer/new_librarian05.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envoy Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 That does look brutal, where is that arm from? Looks... orkish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Mapple Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I used the Sanguinary Guard head that has a "Halo" around a normal Mark VII helmet as my Psychic Hood stand in. The rest of the bits are the Death Co./Sang Guard stuff, with a standard BA shoulder on one side. I also used "wings" painted in a ghostly-white color to represent the "wings of sanguinus" power Mephiston had since when I made the model power weapons all were the same. I can't overstate how important it is just painting them blue sets them apart from the rest of the army. My guy wouldn't look any different from another veteran/artificer type of model if it wasn't for the blue and copper/gold making him look instantly recognizable as an HQ compared to the rest of the army that's red and black. If I was playing an Ultramaring army, maybe I'd need a "more librarian" look, but painting him blue and giving him a jump pack lets everyone know in a BA army he's a librarian.

redhorse Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 AS far GW models, I think one of the coolest one's around is the model for Ezekiel. I have him as my on foot Librarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yncarne Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I was inspired by an old librarian. I built something similar with some simple plastic bits. It pales compared to those here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcatus Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I used the force staff model, Astorath's jump pack, and some DC bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
