If anyone does have some custom libbys do you mind sharing them? Thanks!!! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644218.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644218.page GMT SM Librarians conversions?

That's a Librarian I converted a LOOOOONG time ago. Basically you just need to carve a psychic hood (preferably out of a spare SM shoulder pad) and a power weapon of some sort. Books and scrolls optional but recommended. Works on Power Armor models too.

That or buy the Grey Knight kit and do a head swap, they're all psykers already. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644238.page GMT Re:SM Librarians conversions? GK power armor box. Strike Squad?


Bike has a front from the ravenwing accessory sprue, head and sword arm pad from the UM sprue. Sword and book pad from the GK.

Don’t have a good finished pic of my jump librarian. Here is a WIP shot:

Again, lots of GK parts. Torso, head, staff. Legs are from the vanguard vet box.

A Mantis Warrior serving with the Deathwatch. Didn’t get the outstretched arm quite how I wanted it. Kneeling Dev legs, GK torso.

I guess my plan is to pick up some GK bits and I'm gonna find a reference guide on how to make a custom hood.

Again, thanks for replying ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644330.page GMT SM Librarians conversions?

Basically just take an empty Shoulder pad and carve out the sides to form a triangle shape. Take care to keep the slits intact cuz they will look weird if you cut them off. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644343.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644343.page GMT SM Librarians conversions? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644348.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644348.page GMT SM Librarians conversions?

Ah! just what I needed Thanks

@hotsauceman1 , cool. I'll be sure to hunt them down asap]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644353.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644353.page GMT SM Librarians conversions? GK iconography) then I would highly recommend the Command Squad kit (or the Command Squad Kit with the new SM captain). That kit has a variety of eagles, winged skulls and such that can make great staves as well as a large banner pole that can serve as the basis of a staff. Otherwise it comes with a power sword, which is also a good Force Weapon. It also comes with a large variety of scrolls hanging in cases and other decorations that would be good for a librarian. If you get the one with the Captain in it, the Captain would be great for an action pose (think of him casting spells with his pointing sword).

EDIT: If it seems like I'm gushing, it's because I am. I am a converter at heart and have had a passing idea for every GW kit i've seen. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644453.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8644453.page GMT Re:SM Librarians conversions? WYSIWYG on a model, I see no problem at all.

Bit of an easy conversion, hacked at an old 3ed librarian being careful to not hack off the librarian bits leaving the chest and right arm with force weapon, then some plastic implants to make him a bit more raven guardish.

So long as he's distinct in some way so that opponent's can distinguish him from the crowd, converting is totally fine.



Some of the various Librarians I've built over the years...

you can also get cloaked models from DA Vet kit which often looks nice.

you can convert up the hood from a shoulder pad.

then just pick up book and scroll type things from various kits like WHFB and DA ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8646209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690363/8646209.page GMT
