Black Cohort Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 How do people think a Deathwatch librarian's power armour should look? All blue except for the left arm? Blue torso and legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm probably going to go with the examples from Deathwatch RPG. Enough blue to diffrentiate from others, but still keeping with the deathwatch theme. Here's an example from fantasy flight games: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2010/6/18/knowledge-power-free-rpg-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 We've got some recent examples from the codex and overkill yes? I hadn't paid much attention to them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm going to do to them like I do with my Iron Hands: as little blue as possible! Maybe a knee plate or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 To me with regular marines the minimum always seamed to be the blue shoulder pad with librarius icon. And the blue kneepads that shows where they go in the order of battle (or wherever you'd normally put the extra company or tactical icon) So yeah blue shoulder and blue knee... But they replace the librarius shoulder with the deathwatch shoulder... idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 i like the look of that libby from the DW RPG, Knee pads,collar, i really do like the backpack top cover-panel idea (for table top purposes it seems very logical) just enough blue to tell ...just don't make him an Ultra librarian Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfindor Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 If I recall well what it is written in the codex, it is stated that some keep blue part of their armor to still show they belong to the Librarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 If he's got something that actually looks like a psychic hood and the horned skull on his person that should be enough to denote status. Throw in something that's obviously a force weapon, some scrolls, a book, keys etc. and the blue shouldn't be necessary. All personal taste of course, but with my black and white DIY, librarians are denoted by their wargear and their weapons are purple to differentiate them from regular power weapons. The only blue they have is robes/tabard/loincloth should they have one. I'll follow a similar principle with DW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, canon DW librarians have little to no blue on them: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Deathwatch-Librarian-in-Terminator-Armour https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/deathwatch-kill-team-cassius-2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I definitely prefer the minimal blue look. TBH, I think it'd be fine to leave the blue out entirely as long as the Librarian has a force weapon and psychic hood (I may try this when I paint Jensus Natorian for my strike force).
