Librarius expanded

Greetings all,

I have decided to try to make everything I use in the Escalation League in Illinois look like the current version of the Angels Malleus paint scheme, which is this:

The Angels Malleus

The image come from the Space Marine painter on the Bolter and Chainsword forum: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/smp.php. Very, very helpful. Anyway, I have started to strip and repaint my 500-point list, which I will reveal in full (as if it was that exciting) on Nov. 26th (the date when the first round ends). Since I will not be in Illinois again until late December, I will be playing all my battles then. But I still have to have everything painted and an army list submitted since those two parts don't require me being in Illinois. I have painted up my HQ choice so far and am working on my next unit. Here he is, the newest addition to the Angels Malleus Librarius, Librarian Hiram Leon:

a librarian on foot? this can only mean...

Hiram is the result of GW discontinuing the Lost and the Damned army list. Back when it was legal, I was building a list that represented a group of Fallen Dark Angels swaying a group of Imperial Guard on a backwater planet to their cause. So, I have a few robed Dark Angel models lying around. This one didn't even have any arms yet, so I decided that the robe and hood made him the perfect body for a librarian. I added a Grey Knight Justicar arm (from my assault sergeant who now has a power fist), and a book from one of the inquisitor models that were released with Codex: Daemonhunters (ahh, the good old days). Viola! Librarian. Easy-peasy, puddin' pie.

That's all for now. I probably won't show the rest of what I work on until the 26th. Be sure to check out War in the Old World (warintheoldworld.blogspot.com) for Warhammer Fantary goodness in the meantime!

Thought for the day: To be paint or not to be; that is the question answer.
