Proper Colour to Paint Librarian (Using Citadel Paints)?

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

I'm using the new Citadel line of paints for my army, and quite happy with how they're turning out so far. I am "sold" on the new Citadel line.

 

I'm wondering what would be the appropriate colour for a librarian, though? I hadn't thought to include one in my army, but at my local shop they do a 500 pt "Initiate's night" that I want to get in-on and I don't see a realistic way to fit Dante into that point level. So I thought why not to a cheap libarian using a spare Grey Knight model I have lying around. I see the two main options being:

 

"Ultramarines": Macragge Blue --> Drakenhof Nightshade --> Altdorf Guard Blue --> Calgar Blue

 

OR

 

"Blue": Kantor Blue --> Drakenhof Nightshade --> Alaitoc Blue --> Hoeth Blue

 

I would use the same blue for my Devastators' helmets. I'm thinking going with the Ultramarines sequence from looking at the paint samples on the website; seems like it's a lighter, more "pure" blue whereas the "blue" sequence has a bit of a grey tinge, but I'd love to hear from someone that has experience using the new line. Thanks!

I went with a very similar approach to the second method you mentioned, and my blue does have a greyish tint to it. But I like it.

hope that helps

Hi!!!

 

Please, what do you think of painting the librarians red, like all the army? I am seriously thinking about doing it...
