Painting Ultramarine Librarian

[Brother Captain Sirus]

This is my first post in the WIP forum so I hope you all enjoy to begin with here is the last step of building my libby and the start of painting which this thread will be following. (the legs are reclaimed from models I found from 10 years ago so they will be getting a new lick of paint as well )

so that is how my librarian currently looks and will update with more pics as painting begins as I literally just finished modelling him last night.

hope you all enjoy. feel free to comment or ask any questions

Looks good!

 

I especially like the sword, that and your GS work looks pretty clean and natural.

 

Looking forward to seeing him painted.

here are a few more pics just before I start painting.

 

 

shoulder with the insignia of the librarian on it.

 

 

the left shoulder made from the death watch shoulder in the comm sqd set.

 

 

and a close up on the force sword. made from 2 GK falchions, 1 GK force sword, the hand guard from the power sword from the SM commander set and the grip is from the power axe that came in the assault squad box

well at the end of day 1 here are the results so far (I apologise for the photography as i'm not too good)

here is libby with regal blue base coat (yes that is regal blue hence the apology earlier) over the standard GW chaos black spray.

then with black wash over regal blue and robe/tabard based with bestial brown.

more pics coming asap

Here is the next instalment, as can be seen I've managed to get a lot more done since last time

started work on the force weapon, decided to go with reds and oranges to contrast with the rest on the model, and to give the impression that he is using the pyromancy psychic powers

 

this is the left/inside facing of the blade

 

 

and here is the right/outside facing of the blade

Well here it is the finished librarian, reposting as thread update was unfortunately lost, but not to worry. So here are the pics and the only thing I may add eventually is the librarian rank insignia, hope everyone has enjoyed my first WIP and feel free to comment. Thanks
