Okay, so I got a metal terminator captain online, I thought I was getting a librarian. Anyways, I would like to convert him to a librarian, and would like some advice.
I figure I will add some of the scrolls, the ones that are sets of three that hang from belts. Right now he's got a stormbolter and a stormshield. I can add some kind of force weapon pretty easy I think, but I dont have any think TOO librarian-y. I dont have a book for his back, and I feel like without that it's kinda just a captain. Any suggestions?

There are several DA books in plastic, but I think they'd be too big. Several WHFB kits (especially wizardy) have books that would be a better size, if you can find them.

Or even build your own, from really thin plasticard 'pages'?

Just throwing out some ideas off the top of my head. The Librarians have psychic hoods with cables running from their neck down around their sides to the back. That's probably the most distinguishing characteristic of Librarians.

For the force weapon you can use a power sword and paint runes on it, or just pick up one of the DA Librarians from the Dark Vengeance set off ebay and use the sword/book from that model.

Thanks for the input guys, I think the tubes are a must from the neck to the armpit. But I think he need a book somewhere....
The captain comes with a slot on the top of his armor for a banner, but I dont know if theres a bit with a book that fits that? Theres not too much room for a hood though, so I'm not sure if I can make one fit... Maybe a greenstuff cloth hood I could do, but not the actual psychic hood.

I also havent found any conversions off the metal captain, so if anybodys done something similar please lemme know.
