Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Space Marine Librarian In Terminator Armour (2023)

Product Information

Overseen by the Librarians, each is a silent and sacred place of whispered secrets and hidden truths. Filled with ancient tomes and sacred scrolls, every piece of text laid down by the Chapter, or relevant to its existence, is housed within. Might of the Ancients - Tapping into the deadly powers of the Immaterium, the Librarian infuses himself with psychic energy, increasing his psychical prowess and strength of arms to exceptional levels, to vanquish the foes of the Emperor of Mankind. This ability is most useful to the Librarian when used during melee combat.

Sergeant of the Honour Guard Squad based on Ghyre. Killed by Genestealer Cultists of the Cult of the Wrything Wyrm. Tuesday’s articlegoes a step further by showing us the full datasheets for both the new Librarian, and the Ork Weirdboy, plus a few titbits about their abilities. The warriors that win their place within a Space Marine Chapter's Librarius are feared across the galaxy by all who seek the Imperium's downfall. One need only witness one of these proud mystics as they stride through the maelstrom of battle, untouched by bullet or flame and hurling searing lightning bolts through the ranks of the Imperium's enemies, to see what they add to the already prodigious power of the Adeptus Astartes.

Veil of Time - The Librarian attempts to predict the near future, seeing the flow of events and the actions of others. While this power is in effect, the Librarian benefits from this foreknowledge. Every fortress-monastery will have a Librarius to house the lore, battle records, and certain psychically-active artefacts like Force Weapons. Famous victories, shameful defeats and the legends of the Chapter's heroes are recorded there, and the Librarians are fiercely devoted to their role as keepers of their legacy. Reforge - The psyker's mind communes with the Machine Spirit of a damaged vehicle, soothing its pain as otherworldly energies reforge its wounded hull. Techomancy - Enables the user to influence a targets Machine Spirit or otherwise manipulate machinery. The psyker reaches into the workings of his target, subverting its vital energies to turn guns on their owners or cause tanks to roll to a shuddering halt. The power to destroy can also be turned to more benign ends, and Technomancy is equally effective in mending ailing machine spirits, readying them for war once more. Even fortifications can be targeted. [14] When you select a PSYKER unit to manifest psychic powers, you select one psychic power that unit knows and attempt to manifest it. With the exception of Smite, you cannot attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in the same battle round, even with different PSYKER units. The same PSYKER unit cannot attempt to manifest Smite more than once during the same battle round.

If every model in an INFANTRY unit is on or in an Area Terrain feature with this trait, then it can either Hold Steady or it can Set to Defend (see below) when an enemy unit declares a charge against it. When you’re faced with innumerable hordes of xenos, an Infernus Squad is the perfect tool. Armed with Pyreblasters that spit gouts of incandescent flame, they purge their foes with fiery wrath. Ballistus Dreadnought Librarians are the battle-psykers of the Space Marines.* Those that earn the right can don the sacred Terminator armour of the first company for battle, allowing them to lend a lethal psychic edge to elite infantry spearheads, whether that is in gruelling boarding actions, ferocious urban fighting, or on the front line against overwhelming enemy numbers. Space Marine Battle Psykers reappeared during the Great Crusade. The early history of the Librarians is chequered with mistrust and intrigue. Initially the Legions made no use of psykers within their ranks, however Magnus the Red, Sanguinius, and Jaghatai Khan proposed the Librarian program, allowing the Thousand Sons to train and create Librarius departments in a variety of Legions. [10] Librarians were favoured for use or have been seen within the White Scars, Night Lords, Ultramarines, Thousand Sons, Word Bearers, Salamanders, Alpha Legion, [17] Dark Angels, [15] World Eaters, [18] and Raven Guard [19] Legions. Some of the Primarchs were against using psykers in the Space Marine Legions at all, or at least within their own Legions. Legions that did not favour their use or employ them were the Iron Warriors, Space Wolves, Imperial Fists, Iron Hands, Death Guard, [17] and Emperor's Children. [16] Like a storm cloud that presses down upon the world, the psychic shadow of the Librarian causes allies and enemies alike to look up as he enters the fray. Light streams from his eyes and sparks dance around his head, hinting at the intense energy of the Warp coiled within the weapon that is his mind. The true mastery of a Librarian is evinced when he utters his incantations. In a booming voice that reaches warriors even through the roaring din of combat, his words and thoughts become lightning, flame, and swirling vortexes that ravage the air with their fury.It’s worth calling out that these are WAY bigger than they looked in promotional shots, they absolutely tower over normal Primaris models and look suitably menacing when doing so! Normally I hate models that have modelled terrain. I want to base models how I want to base models, and I don’t need no designer sculpting some ruins for them to stand on, thank you very much. But I’m actually quite glad they went with modeled terrain in this case. I’ve seen enough models where spindly tentacles are haphazardly glued directly to the base, begging for the slightest touch to snap them in half. With the Neurtotyrant having a strong connection to the pipe below it for support, this model not only looks great, but is nowhere near as fragile as you might expect. Subvert Machine - The psyker imposes his will upon an enemy Machine Spirit, forcing it into a state of dormancy or confusion, or even causing it to fire upon its own allies. Several Chapters have different names for Librarians, who vary subtly in their methods and their role in the Chapter hierarchies.
