So pretty much as the title says. Need a couple of each and I am wondering if anybody has any better ideas than carving up a libby/techmarine and gluing them onto SM biker.

There are some potentially suitable bits in the land speeder vengeance kit that could work for a techmarine helmet/body (one of the pilots I think). Grey knight PA kit has some nice bits that can work for a librarian. I've seen a conversion done using arms and shoulder pads from FW Sevrin Loth which looked really nice as well.

The easies way to do it is to use the lower bits from the DA bikers with GK torso/shoudlerpad glued on top. GK staff also goes well with libby.

As for Techmarine, the old DA vet sprue has Techmarine bits on it. Just glue them on instead of regular biker torso/shoulderpad.

i kind of like the Land speeder bits, but it still leaves the problem of representing the servo harness, and it's a little pricey if you have no plans of running one, like me

Definately dig Sevrin, and he has a force axe, but again, it's a bit more than I want to spend.

I think the Gk idea that both of you gave is a pretty good idea. I'll have to dig up something to use for a force axe, but that shouldn't be too hard.

Which DA sprue are you talking about? The only thing I see is a shoulder pad on the Ravenwing upgrade sprue that looks like it may be an AdMech pad. I didn't see anything on the Vet upgrade sprue. Is it something that is out of production?
