Love that interrogator, it's too bad he's so clearly dedicated to a single chapter (not that I wish to take anything away from DA players, just makes him hard to convert to other uses).

It's too bad that once again the kneeling pose is using MK VI legs. Would have been nice to have a set of kneeling legs for MK 7 style armor.

Love that they brought back the old 2nd Edition Devastator legs with the reinforced armor. Not totally sure what it is supposed to accomplish in terms of functionality, but it looks cool.

Librarian--$29.75/18.50GBP price bracket; same as one of the direct only Ork Kannons.
Interrogator Chaplain--$29/18GBP price bracket; it's the same as a squad of Cadian Shock Troops.

If the Librarian is Terminator armored as posted that's not TOO bad. Not sure on the Chaplain as I would have to see the model in person to decide if he's worth it or not.

They did the same thing with the Blood Angels Librarian that got released.

It sucks; but it lets them actually have some Chapter dedicated blisters and not just boxes.

I actually didn't know them, so thanks for pointing them out! I was just going on past experience; I can't recall the last time GW released a character mini that I thought was reasonably priced! sadly, the trend continues!

Not liking that librarian one bit. The BA-specific one was a bit better, imo, and the older failcast one is nicer than either of them. I'd even take the recent £15 power armoured librarian over that, it's a nice model.

I own both the finecast and the BA models, the BA model is a much nicer model to work with. I am just on my phone so it's hard to check it out, but how do the priced compare between ba librarian and new one?

The power armoured one is also £18. But it is a nicer mini than this one.

@Talys, I'm pretty sure it's 50p more here than the BA one, if Kanluwens prices are right. The BA one is £18.

Haha, I wasn't suggesting they were going to be wrong, just covering my own arse I'm surprised they didn't charge more for the terminator armoured ones honestly. I mean, £18 is still expensive for them but they are bigger than the Power Armoured guys who are also £18. Cheeky little 50p added on this time though.

The only thing putting me off that IC is the head. The rest is fine. I'll stick with Seraphicus though as he is infinitely cooler. I do love that Crozius the new IC is packing though! The Librarian is a bit underwhelming as he looks like another tweak of Calistarius from Space Hulk!

The librarian is a solid enough sculpt... just missing the 'wow' factor that the last TDA Librarian had.

The Chaplain is the business, though. That's a cracking good model.

Thanks, ImAGeek

Dunno, guess I'll buy the librarian since I'm partial to them in Terminator Armor. I may pass on the DA model. It's a nice enough sculpt but barring something really cool in the new codex, I'm not sure I'd ever use him, and I'm not in the mood to start DA back up again.

I actually am not decided yet on the Chaplain.

The TDA Librarian is nice though. I wish there was an alternate head however...but I have hooded heads to throw on a few of these gents, so I'm all good.
I do think I will be using some bits from the Grey Knights to give them swords instead of staves, and I think at least one of them will have two hands wreathed in flame.

The chaplain is one of the better sculpts I have seen recently. He is really badarse. However he is not $30 badarse! That is insane.

Librarians aren’t quite like captains, where you can never have too many, even if you never field them. But having a few extra psychers kicking around is probably a good thing. At least, that’s what the voices in my head tell me...


That settles it then, I always trust your judgement Nev, looks like I'm getting a 3rd Terminator Librarian, he'll look excellent with the BA one.

The chappy is hot sex, but the libby seems a bit meh. I have the older metal sculpt and like it, so I don't think an upgrade is in order. I also have Seraphicus, so if the new chappy is ~$30, I'll be sadly passing on him, too :(

The Chaplain is very nice, the Librarian is merely okay. As others pointed out, lacks the "WOW" factor. I am most curious about the rules. Also, I noticed that the Legion Of The Damned codex is gone off the webstore. Perhaps they're adding them back into the Marine codex? While I can appreciate the frantic release schedule, it's a bit annoying that they are invalidating books so quickly. Instead of a 4 year life for a book, we're looking at about 2 years. At $60 cdn a book, how can they expect people to keep shelling out for them. Oh well, I guess there's always the "free" copies nice people post online.
