Should a Deathwatch librarian have black armour or blue? if blue, should the left arm still be silver?

According to all of the models and art I've seen, they are the same color scheme as all other Deathwatch models.

Librarians don't have to wear blue armor.

I would suggest that deathwatch is rather the opposite of a strict codex chapter, and therefore you can do what you like with even less restriction than normal

To elaborate, a librarian from a strictly.codex chapter might view it that they need to.keep the blue armour to stick.with the codex.rules. alternatively they may view it that the deathwatch rules.about black armour override their own chapter rules because they are seconded to the deathwatch.

According to Kill Team Cassius, DW Librarians have black armour, at least Jensus Natorian of the Blood Ravens. But what would look best I wonder? As always we are free to do whatever we want...

I think I´m gonna go with black armour. The standard DW theme. Thanks!

I tend to go black armour with blue robes, though I do have one terminator librarian in a split black/blue scheme.

I like to paint right arm in proper colour (Libra blue, apothecary white etc) while the rest of armour are painted in chapter colour.

I thought the Deathwatch Librarians had the black armour but the one yellow shoulder pad to symbolise being in the Librarius?
