Hi guys,

My plan for today was to do at least two more assault marines, but then I got distracted by shiny things.
My Furioso librarian namely.

I have him standing on my desk for over a year now. I thought it was time to paint him up to finally be able to field him.

I tried to get the same colour on him as on my TDA librarian. I forgot the recipe but I think it's pretty close. ^^

This has been done in 7 hours of painting.

Hope you like him.

The effect on that CCW really looks awesome! Script work is really well done too.

I love your stuff man. Really cool style. DYN-O-MITE

Love everything about it looks great! Keep up the good work.

Great job on the highlights and force weapon.

Pretty awesome.

Thank you guys. I'm doing my best to please you. ^^

This is wonderful work. I have to say though, I am not a fan of the red shoulder guards on the dread. NOTHING against your painting style or skill, it is awesome. I just don't like the red on this model.

That aside, I think the power weapon is one of the best effects I've ever seen. Beautiful gold/parchment work as well. All in all a brilliant model. Very good work.

It needs the red to show its a BA (and not a bloody smurf) personally I would have done the hands red too. Just looks a lil
Weird IMO to go blue red blue. But a very nice job none the less.

Really well done!
Keep up the good work

Thank you for your kind words.
Concerning the red. I needed some on the model. It's a blood angel after all.
; )

Since my TDA librarian has red shoulders on blue arms I decided to go the same way for this guy to make him look like the bigger brother of the other one. ^^

Thanks for your comment though.

True, true. And again, I'm not trying to take anything away from it, great painting all round. I don't think I caught that he's a Blood Angels librarian dread for some reason. I never learned to read.

How did you do the power/force weapon? I am having a terrible time doing the "lightning" effect for mine and I'm not really sure I even like lightning sword effects anyway. But I love that effect you did on this dread, looks like a swirling energy mass.

Great job. I particularly like the text on the scroll work and the tone of the mask.

Lovely job!!
I like the dark blue, , and that force sword is amazing, like an abstract piece of art.

Yes please share your secret for your force weapon! It looks amazing!

Thank you all.
I will do a picture series on how I did the force weapon, when I'm back in Vienna on monday. It's really not that difficult. Nothing fancy. The complete weapon can be painted in 5 minutes.

I think what makes this look so fancy is the high contrast of the picture, due to the bad lighting. ^^

Edit:
For the blue it's adeptus battlegrey as a basecoat, followed by a layer of shadow grey, highlighted with space wolves grey and washed with asurmen blue ! twice ! (let the wash dry before applying it the second time)

Holy s@$t that looks good

Very Imperium! Love the blue and gold.
