I've going to add some 40k style scrolls onto him as well as some more of those little honor white ribbon things.

His non-force weapon arm is going to be magnetized so that he can take any of the weapon upgrade options. His backpack will also be magnetized. I'm thinking of magnetizing his legs as well so I can do an easy swap out to librarian on bike if I want to as well.

I'm thinking about putting one of those cloth waste bits onto him as well and will most likely remove some of the sw and ba icons on the legs and the force weapon.

Can you think of anything else to add to make him seem more librarianish?

Man I haven't even touched a space marine model in a decade to know anything about converting one, but how about something like a psychic hood. Libby's tend to look more top heavy bulk of the hood.

I also agree that scrolls or cloth would be good if you're that comfortable working with green stuff.

Fishboy has some pretty epic conversion tricks up his sleeve for robes he may be willing to show ya.

maybe one of the weapons should be staff.

The thing every time i think of librarian is that they have been painted blue or have a shoulder pad painted blue.

My original intent was to mock up something that was sort of like this GW metal librarian miniature;

But I wanted to make mine a bit more crazy from the warp. I'm thinking about possibly doing some guitar string wire interfaces into his head or something since he already has that bit of technology built into the head bit.

Quick update on what I decided to do with this guy. I still have some work to do on this guy, debating some green stuff work and adding some guitar wire to his torso. I don't have a ton of experience working with green stuff so not sure if I want to experiment with this particular model or not.

He is fully magnetized and eventually I'll take a picture of him in all his parts; however, my camera phone decided it was going to run out of battery power before I could explode him.

Magnetized list;

• Head to Chest
• Chest to Legs
• Shoulder to Chest (Left and Right)
• Backpack to Back
• Jumppack to Back
• Wrist to Ranged Weapon(s)

Working on some ideas to convert up a Space Marine bike for him to ride on occasion.

Short of the terminator upgrades he has all the bits setup to be interchangeable to support any build out that the current codex permits.

that axe is a lot better for a libby than the sword was

That's an insane amount of magnets in one model lol. Nice work. Can't wait to see him painted.

I agree Zack, I think the axe with it's longer handle makes it stand out from your average Space Marine Power weapon axe and gives it sort of that librarian feel of the rod's with the longer handle.

Going to be fun painting him. Need to get a few more things ready and then down to the basement to fire up the space heater, fire up the ventilation fan and make sure the dehumidifier has the humidity under control.
