Malakithe Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Anyone have any unique librarian models they converted? Trying to make 3 different ones for my DWSF list and need some ideas of the base models/bitz to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I convert Libbies a lot. I don't have any made for my Successor Chapter yet but I'll tell you how the process goes. 1. Find some legs you like. Usually these are all just alike but some are made better than others. The Sternguard Squad has some pretty interesting ones. After you find the legs, do the same with a torso, head, etc. 2. Do you want him manifesting a psychic power or shooting a bolt pistol? You're pretty much assured to have a bolt pistol with arm in your bitz box. Try to make it a left handed pose if you want a staff. The only staff bit that is easily accessible is from the Grey Knights Strike Squad kit. The box also contains some outstretched hands. If you want more hands, pick up the new Devastator Squad kit. It has six! 3. Get a Grey Knights Strike Squad kit. They have some of the coolest stuff in this box! Anyway, you'll want to obtain a psychic hood from here (if you elected to have one or if you have to take a psychic hood). 4. Robes, scrolls, and books, oh my! The scrolls and books are optional but they go a long way with this conversion. How best to show he is a Librarian than to add a book? The robes can be found in the Dark Angels Veteran Upgrade kit or you can make them with Green Stuff. I usually do the latter but it's up to you. Also, the Black Templars Veteran Upgrade kit has some as well as the Sternguard Veteran Squad kit. 5. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkn3ssF4lls Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 this is great i'm gonna use this advice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradstorm Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I hope these images come through ok. (first time uploading) These pics show my libby conversion from multiple dw boxsets. I made a force axe from the hilt of a mace of absolution and the head and tail of a halberd of caliban, cloak from the dw sets, book from the rw upgrade frame and random servo skull things. Admittedly it's not my finest work but it fills the board that bit more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Gardiner Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Grey Knight kits are AMAZING for libbies, you can get 5 Librarians for like £20! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Ya I'll have to pick up some GK kits. I need to make terminator libbys so maybe the paladin kit. It's good to see a pic of that axe. I actually made a similar one for my first libby. Axe head the same but I took the blade that's on the top and stuck it to the long hilt for more flair. And why are there 6 hands in the development kit? Shouldn't they be holding...guns maybe? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 The six hands that come in the Devastator Squad kit are for the Sergeant to use. It also comes with some primo power weapons and a Cherub-servitor. Who wouldn't love that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Im also thinking of grabbing that sweet looking blood angels lib and converting that. Just need to shave off all the BA stuff then make a new halbred/axe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberame Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 For TDA lobbies, convert the plastic libby, the BA libby, and get your hands on the old finecast/pewter libby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Here's mine from the Grey Knights Box with some extra DA bits. The arms are Ravenwing Black Knights. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETL3Librarian2_zpsc7db64d7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Master Eladric Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If you can get your hand on the spacehulk BA librarian he's not too bad to convert. Just shave off all the teardrops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormxlr Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If you can get your hand on the spacehulk BA librarian he's not too bad to convert.

Kobrakei Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I built this guy using the Deathwing kit and a force staff from the Grey Knight Terminator kit. Fairly simple work, but one I'm proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ania Redfang Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I have 6 librarians now, three I knocked together in Terminator armour, and three power armoured ones, DV librarian, Sevrin Loth, and a kitbashed grey knights one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raztalin Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Reposting after site crash :) First one with a mix of GK and DA bits: http://www.daventrysquash.co.uk/ben/Pictures/liby/Complete/Faceon.jpg Second one was an AoBR termie with the DV Liby spliced in, few base colours so far: http://www.daventrysquash.co.uk/ben/Pictures/liby/Smaller/WIP/IMAG0974.jpg And the final one, still very much WIP, and blue tac'd together. The Captain Karlean conversion: http://www.daventrysquash.co.uk/ben/Pictures/liby/Smaller/WIP/IMG-20150509.jpg Hope they provide some inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSturrock Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I love the AoBR termie / DV libby conversion! Might try that myself with one of my spare DV libbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it :) Its easier than it looks, and only requires minimal GS, which is where the purity seal is on the right arm pit, and a little more to smooth the 2 pieces under the left arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
