ElectricPaladin Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I want to build a librarian for my 30k Salamanders... but most of the librarians I can find out there are determinedly 40k in character. I was wondering if anyone has got any idea for converting/kit-bashing librarians for the Age of Darkness. Pics are encouraged!

Pariah Mk.231 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Sevrin Loth would fit right in with a 30k army with some minor work. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316310-age-of-darkness-librarians/#findComment-4231554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 As far as I an remember Psychic hoods aren't a thing in 30k, so really any blue guy with some nice details and maybe a book can work!

Slips Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Sevrin Loth with a Simple Shoulder and Backpack Swap is the easiest one. Psychic Hood Be damned! used him as my Thousand Sons entry for March of the Legions. Otherwise, there is no real 100% 30k Librarian since they weren't as codified as their 40k Counterparts. For one, they didnt wear the Librarian Blue. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316310-age-of-darkness-librarians/#findComment-4231578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yup! So, really, ANY HQ you make that has the proper Wargear (ie a Force Weapon...ie a Sword, Axe, Stave) can be used to Represent a Librarian Easy-Peasy.

ElectricPaladin Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Looks like personally I'm going to pick up the Legion Praetors kit and make a librarian out of the power armor guy. Not sure what to do with the terminator, though.

Slips Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Give him a Mantle and a Storm Shield. Theres your 2+/3++ EW HQ. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316310-age-of-darkness-librarians/#findComment-4231591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Give him a Mantle and a Storm Shield. Theres your 2+/3++ EW HQ. I'm getting two copies of BaC. So far I've already built: Power armor guy with crozius, added a storm shield = chaplain in power armor Terminator guy with apthecary bits = primus medicae in terminator armor Also owned: Techmarine guy with added storm shield = forge lord in artificer armor With the contents of my ext copy of BaC I was planning to build: Power armor guy with sword and shield = generic badass who could be praetor, a delegatus centurion, or a company champion Terminator armor guy with sword and shield = the same, but in terminator armor Still desired: Suitably impressive power armor guy with bolter to build as vigilator Power armor primus medicae Power armor librarian And I think that's all I need.

Slips Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 You're in the same boat as me in that regard. Currently got: 5 Apothecaries: 1 in TDA with a Thunderhammer 1 in PA with a Power Fist / Sol Glove 1 in PA with a GK Halberd. Might end up being an EC model or something. 2 of the Apoths from the FW Set. and a metric ton of other characters that can fill any/all roles that I need, hell, even my 40k TFC Gunner Tech Marine can be used as a PA Forge Lord if I need to.

ElectricPaladin Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Oh, yeah, and I'm probably going to have three or so less impressive-looking apothecaries in power armor, but I'll be running them as the elites-choice version.

The only reason I have so many is because they were mostly all made BEFORE they got the Support Officer Rule slapped on.

ElectricPaladin Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Okay, so, 30k librarians weren't blue, but did they favor book-flavored bling? Or is that also a modern phenomenon?

Slips Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Bling Bling is all up to you. For a Legion Like the Salamanders it might make sense.

Corsovitt Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 You mean I carved a shoulder pad into a psychic hood and ordered a green stuff pipe maker and Librarians don't need them in 30k.... Noooooooooooooooooo Ah well it'll still make the mk3 armour look different Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316310-age-of-darkness-librarians/#findComment-4231741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
noigrim Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Since they do NOT have psychic hoods you could use anyone in blue armour (gotta have a force stave/sword/axe tough) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316310-age-of-darkness-librarians/#findComment-4231752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Since they do NOT have psychic hoods you could use anyone in blue armour (gotta have a force stave/sword/axe tough) No blue armour in 30k, just normal coloured armour.

Corsovitt Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Just found a description of the World Eaters Librarian Esca in ADB's Betrayer 'Esca loosened his wrists, cutting through the air with both of his blades. His psychic hood was an armoured half dome over the back of his head, with its cables bonded to his temples.' I also recall mention of Rubio of the Knights Errant mentioning psychic hoods in terms of pre nikea. I'm imagining that the Legions don't have psychic hoods at Isstvan due to the Nikea edicts still being in effect... Those legions which disobeyed or were absent (VIII and the Raven Guard Exploration (?) Fleet springs to mind) would probably still use psychic hoods and post Isstvan I'd imagine the hood becomes widely used again...

Daemon2027 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 You could have blue, there's nothing to say that Librarians didn't wear blue. You could have a blue shoulder pad, or the whole model blue.

Kol Saresk Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Actually Israfael(I think? Zahariel's mentor) in the Dark Angel books had blue armor so......... yeah. There was blue there, just as there were psychic hoods. It's just that as each Legion gained its own personality, the color was changed and then mostly "forgotten" until the Codex was written.

Maybe the codex made it the official scheme for librarians but that doesn't mean it wasn't used before. I think we are seein in the Heresy a lot of the foundations for the future codex Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316310-age-of-darkness-librarians/#findComment-4231866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
