Backslide Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I totally fell in love with the back story for World Eater Librarians, but wondering if they should have Blue Armour like they do in 40k? I was contemplating a compromise and just having more blue than a normal world eater would Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295903-painting-heresy-era-librarians/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostmourne Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 TBH, i would paint them all normal colours, maybe just give them a cloth hood or something to denote it. But most of them were in normal colours i think, and then they were folded back into the rank and file in most legion, so, then you could play that too.

Fire Golem Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The idea of having more blue than normal WE is good too, that'd look sweet. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295903-painting-heresy-era-librarians/#findComment-3792060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backslide Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 well I was going to model a pair, one with a sword, one with a staff, (fluff wise I should really do an axe too), was certainly going to paint one blue as the last warhound librarian, since I have the FW decals Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295903-painting-heresy-era-librarians/#findComment-3792069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 As per Betrayed (iirc) Heresy Era WE Librarians wear the Warhounds livery, rather than that of the World Eaters or 40k Librarium.

Daemon2027 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Which is conveniently more blue :) Â Also the Warhounds scheme is awesome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295903-painting-heresy-era-librarians/#findComment-3792076 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backslide Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think I'll go with the Warhounds colors then, but at least one of them will have a a WE shoulder pad, will be using Grey Knight bits for the psychic bits and force weapons  Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295903-painting-heresy-era-librarians/#findComment-3792097 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Not sure, but I think that Libby's in 30k hadn't donned the blue yet. I didn't bother.

Fire Golem Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm guessing the librarians in blue was something to do with the codex Astartes?

Hyaenidae Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think it's more along the lines of: Â "So, we're re-establishing the Librarium, but there's that whole...brain-eating.... possession.... daemon....thing that could happen, soooo... Were painting you a vibrant blue to keep track of where the heck you're at. Cuz, y'know, we trust you....and stuff..."
