WH40k - Mortifactors - Librarian WIP



It’s time to fry xenos brain with but a mere thought, as we introduce the warlock of woe that is the Mortifactors Librarian!

Smell The Glove...

This guy’s been equipped with a Jump Pack and will accompany a 10 man Assault Squad to act as a strong mobile reserve. His ability to protect the unit with psychic defence and equally deal out some potent offensive combos should prove invaluable in tipping the combat in the lad’s favour… Just need to make sure they pick fights they can win ;)




The Jump Pack has been given the addition of the Horned Skull icon, symbolising the potent power and knowledge a Librarian possesses. The addition of ‘honour wings’ on either side of the Jump Pack also help to highlight the character's seniority within the chapter.

Skulls on a chain are so this season...

The Mortifactors are known to meditate before battle, achieving a death-like trance in an attempt to commune with their Primarch and their ancestors. After a battle they will often drink the blood and eat the flesh of their enemies, severing their heads and flensing their skulls to retain them as honour trophies (nice!). To this end, this chap has been given a collection of such skulls, shrunken and embued with powerful wards…

To help give the model some further character on the table top, I converted up some familiars to keep him company…

Who's a pretty boy then...

This is a cyber-vulture, taken from Tomb Kings Screaming Skull Catapult. You can’t quite make it out but I modelled him a bionic eye - Hopefully the eventual paint job will make it more visible…

'Golf Sale - 200yds On The Left...'

The other familiar was made from a now out of production ‘bat rider’ model from the old Vampire Counts miniatures range. He’s a cheeky little chap and he looks quite at home on his rock with his skully face and his litanies of death…

Well, the Mortifactors now have their very own Mystic Meg to bolster out the ranks and ensure they don’t get caught short when it comes to dishing out the psychic hurt.

Next time we’ll take a look at two more Jump Pack wearing bringers of pain, in the form of the Company Chaplain and the Chapter Champion…

;)
