Wow! I’ve painted something that isn’t green! This model is easily my favourite from the Shadowspear boxed set. I love the dynamic pose. The flow from the robes is just a miracle in plastic casting. After the jump I share more angles as well as a comparison with my other Librarian.
The first thing I painted on this model were the robes. I knew the inside of the robes would be hard to paint so I airbrushed the robe a nice base coat of Baneblade brown. I then proceeded to glaze the shadows and highlights with multiple thin layers. Once that was done I then went over the entire model blacking in the detail.
With the detail blacked in, I then painted the sword and face. There was no other reason for this other than I was painting the swords and faces of other models at the time so I got this done as well to save time.
The armour was painted with Caledor Sky and then glazed with Kantor Blue and then a mix of Kantor and black. I love how dark and rich the blue has gone from that deep shading.
These two look great together. I’m really happy with both my Librarians. Annoyingly I painted the robes on the right-hand side Librarian too light. I’ve settled on a more brown coloured robe for all my Dark Angels since then. Oh well, I’m not repainting it.

The darker robes work better for the commando librarian anyway
Did you do any sub-assemblies for the right librarian? I'm trying to plan out a good sequence for before starting on my own. More amazing Dark Angels is always a plus. Cheers!
No sub assemblies. I pinned his feet to a cork to elevate him and make it easier to reach inside the robes.
