@LDP - Thanks, the hammer took sod all to do as well so I was quite happy at the speed I can do them.

@Ogryn - Thanks mate

@Daxx - Cheers for the comments and I do agree with you, a demon head should be darker and with more extreme highlights but I am still happy with how it turned out.

@M.K - Tip noted and filed away for later

@Ice - Very nice observations

you are completely right with the blood not going on him, If I was going to try to justify it.... I would say his armor is so pure that demon blood gets vaporized from it as soon as it touches. yeah, that sounds good, what do you reckon? Regarding the Warp question? I reckon that 'Space Marine' got it right in a way, when you killed one it burst in to fire and dissipated leaving only some remains. However I believe that its the essence/soul which is cast back into the warp as when you read fluff relating to demons it gets talked about them being 'reborn' this leads me to believe that a demons soul is immortal but the body would stay behind (this is why we have demon heads)

@FP - Thank you man!

@Lorna - I agree with you on that one.

Update: Squad time!

I got some paint slapped on the next model

Terminator Librarian WIP 1

**Gitsplitta**

Nice "slapping" job....

**inmygravenimage**

Neat halberd conversion

**Capitansolstice**

When knightly slaps he just uses a fine detail brush

I guess that'd work. Now you just need to put some blood on the base and we're set!

btw, nice start to the librarian.

**lipsdapips**

Ah Perfect! I was going to build myself a librarian out GK termies and was wondering. Should he be silver or blue? Or a combination?

**zariart**

WOW is all I can say to the big head! and I love the paladin sgt,that thunder hammer is fantastic.

**Knightley**

@Gits - yeah, I just loaded up a shot gun with some paint and had a blast

@Graven - cheers, I put this one together back in 09 and have only just now go around to painting it.

@Capitansolstice - This actually made me laugh out loud, top marks to you my friend, top marks!

@Ice - I could get all metaphorical on the lack of soul = lack of blood, but I think it could end up taking way to much time to justify it so I'm going to agree with you, more blood for the blood god eh?

@LDP - I've decided to double dip with this guy and have him serve as my SM libby and as my GK libby so he gets a generic paint scheme, for you? I'd vote combination.

@Zari - I'm stoked you like it, when it was glued into the body it certainly brought a central focal point to my brothers model

Update: blue armour done and 3-4 coats of yellow on the tabbard

**Miss Dee**

you should of left him the same colour as ya troopers

**IceAngel**

Due to the fact that all of your guys have some writing on them, is your librarian going to be COMPLETELY covered in squiggly lines?

**Matt.Kingsley**

@ IceAngel: Lol!

But I agree, GK termy librarian should be silver, like GK

**lipsdapips**

Libby is coming along sweeet dude! I don't want to overdo the blue on my dude, perhaps just replace the heraldry areas with blue and then do a blue lower leg like I did red/white heraldry on the apothecary. Is that smart?

**Emperors_Champion**

Haven't been on here for ages! Glad I had a chance to catch up, all looking bloomin' marvelous here. Your skills seem to be improving by the minute!

**Knightley**

@Miss Dee - Truth be told I was looking forward to painting something that wasn't grey

@Ice - I tried, but the amount of flat armor to squiggle left a lot to be desired, I got a bit on him, not nearly enough though

@M.K - If it helps, think of him as a SM Termy Librarian just with a GK halberd and wrist mounted storm bolter

@LDP - Yeah definitley smart, if you can give hints of him being a librarian I think that will give a much better effect.

@E_C - Welcome back mate, good to see your posting on your own blog as well, I've been wondering where you had gotten to.

Update: Libby done

Can't pretend my painting is as good as yours but I still like him all the same.

**Knightley**

@Ogryn - Thanks man, I'm happy with him as well

@Blackhand - Hahah, its scary how close they are, and your painting is awesome as well

Update: Purifer 1 underway

**Matt.Kingsley**

nice

**Knightley**

Cheers Matt, next stage below

**Matt.Kingsley**

I can't see anything different

**Moltar**

He moved the bits around.

Just kiddin' Knightley, I can see a difference. Looks to be coming along as solid as the rest of your fine work.

**Matt.Kingsley**

wait now I see it

**lipsdapips**

OOooooh! Full army shot please

thanks for the advice with regards to the libby, i'm thinking he'll have blue shoulder pads

**Knightley**

@M.K - Hahah, fair enough, the second picture has the grey a lot more solid (less transparent)

@Moltar - Thanks man, I'm glad some one could see a difference

@LDP - I'll put one together on the 1 year anniversary of me starting this blog, it should cover all the models I've painting in the last 12 months

Update: Purifer head done

Excellent, love the work on the banner.

**bigfish**

Very nice indeed

**inmygravenimage**

I really like the contrast of the large block of cream against the grey. Beautiful, and really clean.
