captain_shrike Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Quick intro. My chapter doesn't have a name yet. I'm waiting for that to come naturally whilst I write their background. Anyways, first time I've touched anything in about 4 years. I went out and got one of the new Sternguard Squad kits. First thing I'm making is a Librarian to accompany the squad. This is what I have so far, blue tacked together. Unsure whether to stick with the running legs or use standing legs with a tabard. I'm also deciding whether to have my Sternguard squad with running legs or standing legs. The chapter uses Imperial Fists chapter tactics as far as rules go. Very similar battle doctrine. http://i.imgur.com/VHVWmwO.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineswords Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Try imgur.com instead. A much much better image host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ion Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'd go with the standing legs, those running legs seem more suited to something with a jump pack to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_shrike Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hmmmm. The advantage with the standing legs is having a tabard. I just can't imagine a librarian without one really. I'll tack him up with standing legs tonight and see what I think. I've also tacked on a shoulder pad, head and backpack since. I ordered a load of bits about 5 years ago which included the torso back with the force hood and I can’t remember what it’s from, does anyone know? I also have a DA open book and a small closed book I might try and incorporate somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Off to a good start! I think the legs are fine but I'd agree, you should try standing just for measure of comparison. Also, I highly recommend drilling out the Storm Bolter barrels; it's a great effect and it's so easy with the right equipment. No idea where that torso is from though; I kind of want one so hopefully someone else does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_shrike Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Here he is with some standing legs I picked out. Now I'm not sure about the helmeted head..... http://i.imgur.com/GUQ2WAR.jpg +EDIT+ Here he is with a different head. The psychic hood is now more visible. http://i.imgur.com/eOhQAUe.jpg Also, a tactical marine with missile launcher taking aim with his bolt pistol whilst a missile is loaded! http://i.imgur.com/46IUS2Y.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lephisto Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Are you gonna post more of your DiY chapter here as well? I would like to see more of your chapter. Color scheme? For the hood, maybe use this tutorial to make a psychic hood http://fromthewarp.blogspot.co.nz/2010/11/librarian-psychic-hood-conversion.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_shrike Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 I will be, yes. As far as the colour scheme goes, this is how they shall be painted, though painting won't commence for a while yet. Building is going very slowly, quite busy at the moment!
