Obviously librarians were different in the 31st millennium, so would they have the all blue except one shoulderpad colour scheme or would they wear solely their legions colours?

I don't think there's a definitive answer, but I'm guessing just legion colours. The blue was probably something in the Codex. It was probably different from legion to legion, most things were.

Yeah as I posted I saw a picture of 30K Ahriman and realised that they would just have their legion colours

The blue armor was a codex astartes thing...

It should be noted that at the time of the Heresy the Council of Nicea was still in effect, so many Legions had disbanded their Librarius and didn't have Librarians at the time, although the members would still have been psychic, they would have been prohibited from using their powers.

I think that you mean Nikea, as the Council of Nicaea was actually held by the orthodox Christian church, circa AD 325 and resulted in the Nicene Creed.

Which would also mean that it was about 29,500 some-odd years before the Crusade Era.

I think you and everyone else knew exactly what he meant, and are splitting hairs over a spelling error.

Yeah, autocorrect is my bane.

Sorry to get the thread a little off topic, but don't feel too bad, my autocorrect switch the "I" in "things" to an "O" once, which doesn't exactly help a conversation.

I offer Counsel Markonus of the Leonis Imperatoris, Legion I, Chapter IV, Order 23.

I havnt had any luck finding Librarians painted. This is the prime thread that google show me. So i am updating the post with the first guy ive painted for 30k. A librarian.

Personally I lean towards yes towards the blue, both because canonically Librarians are not a different shade of blue from Ultramarines, and as such it makes no sense for it to have originated with the Ultramarines/Codex Astartes, also the fact that all of the other 1st Founding chapters besides the Space Wolves use said colour - when half of them eschew Codex colour-related markings.

I imagine the specifics would vary from legion to legion or even marine to marine - I'd start with the specific legions apothecary scheme where known, and for the loyalists there's also the old Index Astartes: Librarian article.
