The librarian is made from the terminator body. I chopped off the right arm, and added Belial's Sword of Silence arm. The arm is half a grey knight arm and half the belial arm. I then chopped off the sword and added a grey knight force sword. For the gun arm, I used a grey knight arm. Its actually quite easy because the arms for the new DA and GK are close to the same. I just had to do a little cutting on the combi weapon since it was originally for a left arm. Finally, I added one of the DA Cloaks from the new kit. I also had a Exorcist shoulder pad lying around from a Badab War army. I added it as a librarian shoulder pad.

Any suggestions on an alternate color scheme?

What is your take on the current test model?

Thoughts on the Librarian or Belial conversion?

An entire army should look very cool!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5199671.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5199671.page GMT Dark Angels - New Models - Librarian, Belial, and Alternate color scheme test model
The librarian conversion and Belial are equally nice. But one thing that really stood out was the librarian looks like he's wearing two suits of terminator armour! That bit above his hood, isn't there a way to cut it off?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5199701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5199701.page GMT Dark Angels - New Models - Librarian, Belial, and Alternate color scheme test model

The Librarian conversion looks really good. Any more pictures of it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5199712.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5199712.page GMT Re:Dark Angels - New Models - Librarian, Belial, and Alternate color scheme test model

I believe that's an "open book" bit, not armor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5199721.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5199721.page GMT Dark Angels - New Models - Librarian, Belial, and Alternate color scheme test model http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5200969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5200969.page GMT Re:Dark Angels - New Models - Librarian, Belial, and Alternate color scheme test model
priming black is obviously not a good choice if you're going to go with that colour scheme. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5201015.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5201015.page GMT Dark Angels - New Models - Librarian, Belial, and Alternate color scheme test model http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5201017.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5201017.page GMT Dark Angels - New Models - Librarian, Belial, and Alternate color scheme test model

nice bases


Seconded! What are you using to create the chunks of rock?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5201277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5201277.page GMT Dark Angels - New Models - Librarian, Belial, and Alternate color scheme test model
My only other suggestion is instead of basing straight black with spray, use a thinned down black or a black wash to base. The end details will pop more because there is a thinner layer of paint as the base and the layers are also thinner.

Overall though, great job!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5201617.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5201617.page GMT Re:Dark Angels - New Models - Librarian, Belial, and Alternate color scheme test model

Thanks a ton for all the feed back. Its odd the paint looks so thick in the pictures because the paint is quite thinned out. I use a wet pallet. I will try keeping it a little thinner on my next model.


If that's the case, I think you're putting your camera too close to your models. Cameras are annoyingly good at picking up fine details on macro mode, so try pulling it back a couple of cm next time]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5207052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502095/5207052.page GMT
