A Blood Angels Librarian

White Dwarf #166: my first issue.

There are a few Space Marine miniatures shown in there that for me are absolutely iconic, and this is my version of one of them.
 That's a Marine Librarian, friends.

He only took an hour or two to paint, I've since put some burnished gold on the emblem on his tome as it just looks brown in this picture.

Here is the version from #166 and the 2nd edition rulebook
I have a banner pole lined up for him but need to source that banner.
I'll get around to it.

These are the other minis I referenced, unfortunately I don't have these guys in my collection (yet) but one day I'll get my grubby mits on them, mark my words.
That banner (above) is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
A far cry from the modern Apothecary with all the crap that hangs off them and their backpack!

Back with more Blood Angels soon...

  2. I have never been able to look at that Librarian without imagining that he is holding a hotdog, or burrito, or maybe a doner kebab... it makes me so darn hungry. And as always, a splendid job from you CvB :D
