You said chaplain at the top. And just before you'd aid "here's the banner" you said that the banner is not yet done....

Ok, now I'm just confused. Where the hell do I put my completed Librarian?

[Odsox]

GODSDAMNIT okay so apparently we CAN post our finished ones here. 

 

WELL FINE.

 

Done. Behold Nine-Sided Zephon, Apostle of the Blood (Counts-as Sorcerer), a revered warrior of the Doomseekers warband. Able to channel an echo of Khorne's furious warcries into a scream of rage whose sheer force can shatter bone, rend flesh and buckle steel. 

 

....basically I give him a jump pack and Psychic Shriek, stick him in a squad of Raptors and go to town on weaklings that hide behind Aegis Defence Lines.

 

 

 

Thanks for your time!

[deathspectersgt7]

Lol. Though I will ask, doesn't khorne usually hate psykers?

[Grotsmasha]

@ Heathens: finished but unpainted here, painted in the showcase thread.

@ odsox: Nice one!!! I really like the models  left shoulder pad.

 

Cheers,

Jono

[Odsox]

Lol. Though I will ask, doesn't khorne usually hate psykers?

 

He does indeed, which is why my Apostles are priests rather than sorcerers. Like the difference between Clerics and Mages. More on that in my official Doomseeker thread when I paint the guy up though...

 

Thanks Grot! It was a pleasure to take part in one of your comps!

 

BTW deathspectre, love that libby! All heroes should have suitably massive weapons.

Alright then. My very first ever Librarian, Codicer Dariun of the Astral Claws Librarium Detatchment.

 

 

 

 

 

I actually had a blast making this guy. Thanks for the inspiration , Grot.

[KBA]

Nice Libby, 1000heathens! Love the use of the Master of Signal helm. Using it on mine too

[Hyaenidae]

Thanks! I was thinking that during the Astral Claws build-up, there would be a large influx of Librarians, and with the War for Free Badab stretching the Claws to the limit, there wouldn't be enough time to fully train the younger Librarian. Thus, a Restrictor Plate; an attempt to keep a more inexperienced Librarian from burning himself out totally as he learned his powers.

[KBA]

Love that fluff tidbit. I really need to start sinking my beak into more of the amazing fluff this board has to offer!

[Grotsmasha]

Sweeeet!!! Nicely done Heathens!!! I'm trying to place those legs, Sternguard? I like the fluffy-ness of the MoS helm.

 

Cheers,

Jono

[Hyaenidae]

Legion of the Damned. Cut the poor bugger in half to get those legs, lol.

[deathspectersgt7]

Man that is sweet heathens 

[Brother Chaplain Kage]

Nice job, Heathens and Od! Some fine kitbashing there.

 

Deathspectre, I wish your pics were a bit bigger or less blurry, or maybe both, so I could get a better look at your figure.

[KBA]

Epistolary Castis, 3rd of his badge from Adeptus Astartes Raven Guard:

Fluff stuff for him can be found here

[Grotsmasha]

yeah KBA!!!!! He's kick-ass, lots of cool bits and bobs there, and that MoS helm is growing on me. The first time I saw it I thought FW was bonkers.

 

Cheers,

Jono

[Toxichobbit]

Alright then. My very first ever Librarian, Codicer Dariun of the Astral Claws Librarium Detatchment.

Heathens, is that a Space Wolf power sword cut down with the wolf skull removed?

 

And Grotsmasha, are you planning on doing more conversion challenges? I have a Captain and Company Champion conversion planned, I just wondered if I should hold off for a bit before doing them.

Edited by Toxichobbit, 04 June 2013 - 01:17 AM.

[Grotsmasha]

@ Toxichobbit: Yep, more challenges planned. Next up in August is Company Captains/Masters/Chaos Lords, and then something a little more special after that in Oct that your Company Champion will fit right on in.

 

Cheers,

Jono

[Hyaenidae]

@Toxic: Kinda. I shaved the Wolf sword down to the hilt, then cut and shaped a skeleton warrior sword until it looked good to me.
