BrightStarNova Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 So I mainly have selected to between 2 choices. Dark like the Templars and Iron Handss. OR. Red Like Blood Angels but with Gold for the 2nd Company. They are an Imperial Fist Descendant. That isn't the issue. Deciding between the 2 paint schemes is since I like both. * Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332059-deciding-a-paint-scheme/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightStarNova Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 How often do Librarians vary from the Blue Codex heraldry? How often do they use their Chapter heraldry instead?

Bung Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Libbys dont need to be complete blue, some just paint one arm and the helmet blue and the rest of the armour is in the chapters colors.

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 How often do Librarians vary from the Blue Codex heraldry? How often do they use their Chapter heraldry instead? In the current edition? I haven't seen any artwork where they weren't blue except for Grey Knights. In past editions/Index Astartes? Very commonly you would see chapter colored Librarians who only kept a couple spots blue, such as the arm, leg, hood, shoulder, etc. If you're not a fan of a single blue model sticking out in your force, I think it's completely acceptable and fluffy to have a chapter-colored Librarian who has either blue shoulders or a blue arm or something. The key identifier for Librarians is a large, domed force hood (or a smaller GK style hood in the case of the new plastic Librarian), weird squiggles on their weapon if they have a bladed force weapon, a force staff, keys or books on their body, and a groin tabard. The blue is just a minor trivia tidbit in comparison. Which would scream Librarian to you: an actual Librarian model not painted blue, or a regular non-Librarian Space Marine painted blue?
