dtse Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 hi guys. hoping to start up a librarius conclave, maybe with ezekiel, but he can't use a bike, so maybe just a vanilla conclave....on bikes! So what models are you using if you have a librarian on a bike? I'm hoping for a current librarian model that i can basically hack the legs off and plop it on a space marine or RW bike.

Epher Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 The easiest way to convert a biker librarian is by using the models in the Dark Vengeance set. You can usually find them on eBay for next to nothing. A few cuts and some green stuff and you are on your way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epher Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 This is what I used as a guide for my conversion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnozkqHSKlw I cut off the right arm on mine and used a biker arm and blank shoulder pad. Here is a link to my conversion but just a warning, the paint isn't that great on it. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303151-ephers-guardians-of-the-covenant/?p=3954624 I hope these help!

Hidicul Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Or you could do it really easy and just paint the normal biker blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epher Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Or you could do it really easy and just paint the normal biker blue That would be more of a paint job than a conversion. You are right, it definitely would be the easiest and most cost effective. Perhaps adding some grey knights bits may also give them a librarian feel.

Hidicul Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yes Eoher, adding GK bits really helps. I guess I'm spoiled seeing as I play GK also so have those little extras to add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtse Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 I like that Libby model with force axe. Nice What do you do with the model? Just cut it at the waste and stick the legs back on along the bike angles? What about the robes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandofAnubis Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I am using a Librarian from the DV set, however I am using an attack bike. I have removed the gunner and weapon from the side car, and the libby will be standing where the gunner normally sits, and then I am going to take a DWK Stormshield to add to the front of the side car. It will almost be like a Chariot but on a bike. So the driver can lead the libby around the battlefield so he can focus on casting his powers and such!

Just cut it at the waste and stick the legs back on along the bike angles? What about the robes? Use the robed legs from the RW upgrade sprue. No greenstuff required. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/The%20Ravenwing/DSCN9894.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtse Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Interesting. One per box? So for 4 librarians I would need 4 upgrade packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the ravenwing upgrade, plus the top half of the finecast power axe libby...standard rider's left arm and the shoulder pad of your choice.

dtse Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 So 3 dark vengeance librarians. 1.99 each. 3 biker legs with robes. .99 each. 3 Ravenwing bikers. 17 bucks. Pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngeal Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Great paint job! My friends and I joke about thst piece being a nerf foam bat, and like to imagine how a space marine could kill something with such a weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 This is what I ended up with mashing the DV figures together and it only needed a small amount of greenstuff too ;) http://pre04.deviantart.net/55c3/th/pre/f/2013/074/6/f/brother_librarian_eudaemon___dark_angels_by_elmo9141-d5y3lyd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakybamsen Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I like that Libby model with force axe. Nice What do you do with the model? Just cut it at the waste and stick the legs back on along the bike angles? What about the robes? I had ordered the parts for my first conversion before I saw what March10k had done. I had the same idea. I did it last night, as I said, it was my first, but I ended up being fairly pleased with the result (didn't have greenstuff, so there are 1 or two gaps I might have been able to avoid, have I had any) Despite that, it was fairly easy. Here is a tip, if you decide to go that way: When piecing together the model, after you've set the legs on the bike, before you glue the torso to the legs, make sure the left arm fits properly to the body. To make it fit properly, you'll have to twist the torso a bit. if you do not, you will need some greenstuff to be able to glue the arm and the torso. as I said, I didn't have any, so I got fiddly with some "shrapnel" from when I sawed off poor libby's legs. On mine there is a gap, but the shoulderplate covers almost all of it, so to me it's not too big a deal. Once it gets coated and painted, it should be alright.

Raychu Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 here's mine. I simply changed the chainsword of the RW serg from Dark Vengeance, and put a power/force sword. http://i19.servimg.com/u/f19/18/98/22/40/img_4415.jpghttp://i19.servimg.com/u/f19/18/98/22/40/img_4416.jpg 240/34] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
