So I'm trying to figure out ideas for converting a Librarian out of some standard plastic minis.

Any ideas of how to represent a Psyhic Hood and other various Libby bitz in plastic? Especially if I want to Keep him with a helmet.

Here's my AoBR Terminator Librarian:

As for generic Psychic Hoods, take a spare SM shoulderpad (you should have many of those) and cut sections out of it till it has that three-pronged look and just fit it to the back of the head. Works for helmeted heads too. The Tigrus Model seems to just have a band of metal across his head for the hood, it's empty on the back.

Do it like you make any type of wizardly thing... add a staff and a big book.

Well, if I can find an approprieate booky bit I may add one hanging off his belt, but I want him to have a suitably impressive force weapon. (Thinking about one of the new Kromlech swords that were previewed)

Bump, for feedback. No one has any ideas?

Bump? No one have ideas or a pic?

prefab is tough sometimes when you are looking for such a specific retrofit. You may want to consider GS.

There's actually a pretty easy way to convert psychic hoods - so much so that it's sort of the internet standard. I'm surprised that no one's mentioned the Commander Y-pattern psychic hood yet. Commander Y over on B&C was the first to really popularize this style. Check here for a tutorial on it: http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2010/11/librarian-psychic-hood-conversion.html

AWSOME!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.
