Dark Angels Librarian opinions

[Dark Watcher]

Hi all,

Just bought a Librarian in termie armour for my Dark Angels and wanted to get some opinions.

Standard colour for librarians is ultramarines blue, but it just doesn't seem right for a member of the deathwing...

What do you think of the idea of painting him in DWing colours with some passing nod to the lib colours? Say shoulder pad? Or should I do the exact opposite (all blue with white shoulder pad)?

Ezikiel is part of the death wing correct? and he is blue armoured, and he looks fine so I personally would go with the Traditional Libraian colours But really when it comes down to it, Its up to you :thumb:

That is true. But was thinking more that the deathwing terminators choose White Armour, Ezekiel is in power armour. Only thing i dislike about painting is having to choose! Want to do all of them. Argh.

I just used a 50/50 mixture of Midnight and Ultramarine blues for Ezikiel (or as I like to call him: Eazy Kill). That way he is still blue but a little darker. It works well. But the fig you bought was a generic libby in termie armor?? Ezikiel isn't in termie armor so I'm not sure what to tell ya on that one.

[Dark Watcher]

yeah i did. Already have Ezekiel and standard codicer. Keep getting tempted by deathwing army. Point sinks everywhere though.

LOL, you ain't lyin', man.

What I found that works pretty well is to paint the miniature in the blue armor of the Librarium, but to paint the entire left arm in the chapter colors. Looks pretty damn cool.

Don't worry about him sticking out. The lighter blue color actually complements the bone/khaki color of the Deathwing VERY well. Just don't paint the blue too dark and he'll look great.
