Looking at finally committing to a large ravenwing army, something I've always wanted to do!!

I'm going to need to do up a librarian for this force, and since GW doesn't make a model, it's conversion time. I've more or less worked out what I'm going to do between a spare command squad bike and some grey knights bits. The only problem I ran into is that the parts I'd decided to use don't have a robe. It would be easy enough to use a couple different bits since nothing has been ordered, but I kind of like the way it would have looked with the original bits. Now since DA librarians are members of the inner circle, fluff wise he should have a robe.....bah, what to do?

Give me your opinions, please!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582052/6580502.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582052/6580502.page GMT Ravenwing Librarian...to robe or not to robe? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582052/6580536.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582052/6580536.page GMT Ravenwing Librarian...to robe or not to robe?
Robes and skirts don't mix well with wheels, they get tangled and torn and you end up crashing because there's cloth stuck in your axles.

The other alternative is to sculpt a robe onto the bits you have using green stuff or milliput, which isn't too hard. The trick is to sculpt it using thin strips of mixed milliput then blend them together into a single piece of 'cloth' using wet fingertips.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582052/6580618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582052/6580618.page GMT Ravenwing Librarian...to robe or not to robe?

If I go robed, that's what I'd use...I do have a couple laying around. The only thing that has me thinking no robe, is in order to get the model with a psychic hood, I'm using the back of a grey knight which has no robe on it, so I was concerned that the robed front torso wouldn't mesh, but it would be minor and blended with paint. Additionally, until last night I wasn't sure about how to mask the robe for painging the power armor with the airbrush, but after experimenting with silly putty I think it's game on for the robe.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582052/6583365.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582052/6583365.page GMT Ravenwing Librarian...to robe or not to robe?
