Librarian

I finally got some more painting in, mainly since I am due to be staging a 3000 point battle against daemons this weekend, and I got the librarian completed.
Working on the fire raptor would have been good but I doubted I would be able to complete it in time for the battle and I was certain that if I did it would not be to a sufficient level so instead I focused on getting the librarian completed since he was sitting around half painted and this is the end result.





If you know the heresy miniature line from forge world you will probably recognise this as the terminator praetor from the praetor set, I purchased the praetor set to convert the power armoured one to be a jetbike rider and I always thought the paragon blade on the terminator would look perfect as a force weapon and thus my librarian was born.

I went for a slightly more subtle lightning effect on the model and i think it has worked reasonably well, I am hoping it will get some positive feedback at the battle.

Given the natural abilities of the centurion which gets upgraded in to the librarian in a heresy list he is naturally a very fighty psyker and as such I have a tendancy to pick powers from the biomancy disciple, I know that divination is probably the more thematic night lord option but I do like the idea of the character tapping in to the full power of his gene-seed through his psychic power and for brief periods achieving almost primarch power levels.
He will generally join the terminator squad I have already painted, this has been tried previously in a battle against daemons and worked pretty well.

I am going to take the camera to the battle and make some notes and take some pictures, I am also planning to take advantage of the space to take along my whole night lord force and get a couple of pictures of it all together on the battlefield, there is still a long way to go with the force but I think a couple of complete collection pictures could be good.
