Hello All, thanks for dropping by. This week's addition to my ever growing Battle Company (+PLUS) is a firstborn / old school / old-marine Librarian on a Space Marine Bike, a Index option soon to be Legends option only I guess, but I had it in the to-do pile for several years! Must finish Bikes before I do the Indomitus Primaris Bikes!
The base kit was a Ravenwing AOBR bike with the rider torso removed, different handlebars and shaved front fender icons - I added a 3rd Party Librarian torso and Power Stave and converted the backpack with a resin book and bit of chain.
The Ravenwing bikes are quite suitable for all my Characters and Sergeants, to make them different from the rank and file, feathers were Hawk Turquoise washed Nuln. The leather is Mournfang Brown, washed Nuln and highlighted Balor Brown.
I added Assault Markings though strictly not true, he is an HQ option, but I see it as a Vanguard Detachment, therefore fast attack options. The slate is a resin base, so Chaos Black drybrushed Eshin Grey and Dawnstone then coated with Contrast Shylish Purple and some Magos Purple, then drybrushed my usual base colours to blend in with Karak Stone and Ushabti Bone. The greys allow the purple to show over the blacks.
The Headlight was a new method I was trying and quite like! Just Ulthuan Grey base with a thin coat of FW Clear Calth Blue Airbrush Paint brushed on and allowed to rest in the recesses, a nice effect. I also did the same for his warp-manifesting eyes!
Anyway, another cool character and finally off the to-do Pile! Cheers, Siph

Thar turned out great! What kit is that staff from BTW? I need to track one down...
ReplyDeleteCheers mate, it’s part of the 3rd party set on eBay, comes with the legs, Torso, head and two arms, part resin, part metal kit. The staff is metal and pinned at the wrist. EBay Librarian on Bike?
DeleteIt is a shame it will end up in legends, lovely model.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Lots of cool detail there.
ReplyDeleteDude that looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! I think I had that Librarian as well for a Biker squad. Shame they can't come out to play any more.
ReplyDelete@Rory, @Mike - thanks mate, yes a shame but I only do friendly games so should get on the table, Covid willing...
ReplyDelete@DAM, @MastaCheef - cheers mates.
I've got 2 Chaplains on bikes but zero reason to paint/repaint them now. I say 5hat but I'm mostly painting for fun, not for gaming so maybe it doesn't really matter...
ReplyDeleteGet painting one! ;)
DeleteTop job. I like the flash of red inside the cloak to break up the grey/blue across the piece.
