Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Space Marines Primaris Librarian In Phobos Armour

Product Information

The earliest known Space Marine battle Psykers were the Host of Pentacles of the First Legion during the Unification Wars. However these warriors suffered from many grim calamities and in time the project was abandoned. [23] Librarians are often treated with distrust due to their nature. Marines are taught to hate the deviant and abnormal, particularly mutants and those with psychic powers. This creates a gulf between the Librarians and the rest of the chapter brethren, though the powers they can bring to bear on the battlefield makes them always welcome in combat. [1] He also carries a HUGE Force Axe, for when mind bullets just aren’t enough to take care of the foe. The Rune Priests of the Space Wolves, maintain that their psychic powers derives from the animistic spirits of Fenris, rather than from the Warp. [4]

Warhammer Community: Shadowspear Focus: Vanguard Units (posted 5/3/2019) (Last accessed 4 September 2019) Veil of Time - The psyker projects his will beyond the regular passage of time, taking in the strands of fate before returning to the present to sway the tide of battle by helping his fellows know what is to befall them before it happens. Dreadnought ( Castraferrum Dreadnought • Siege Dreadnought • Hellfire Dreadnought • Ironclad Dreadnought • Venerable Dreadnought • Mortis Dreadnought • Chaplain Dreadnought • Librarian Dreadnought • Furioso Dreadnought • Death Company Dreadnought • Redemptor Dreadnought ( Brutalis Dreadnought • Ballistus Dreadnought) • Wulfen Dreadnought • Doomglaive Dreadnought) • Nemesis Dreadknight • Invictor Tactical WarsuitChief Librarians also spend a great deal of time training their lesser codicier and lexicanium battle-brothers in the dangerous ways of the Warp. The Imperial records concerning the origins of the Space Marine Librarians are murky and mired in legend rather than hard facts like much of the history of the Imperium's early days. However, according to the chronicler Saphrus the Ancient, during the Great Crusade of the early 31st Millennium the Emperor of Mankind held a great Imperial conclave, the Council of Nikaea, on the newly-terraformed planet of the same name, to determine whether human psychic powers and the practice of psychic sorcery presented a danger to the newborn Imperium of Man and its people. White Scars - The Zadyin Arga or " Stormseers" of the White Scars perform the same functions as other Chapters' cadre of Librarians, though the Stormseers emerge from the deeply-ingrained mystical traditions of the tribal shamans and holy men who rode the plains of Chogoris with their Primarch Jaghatai Khan before the coming of the Emperor to Mundus Planus. Since the time before their Chapter's inception, when they were the shamans who first named Jaghatai Khan the Great Khan of the nomadic tribes, the Storm Seers have been called upon to continue to induct Neophytes and newly elevated Khans of their Chapter. The other responsibilities of the Storm Seer include teaching Aspirants the core beliefs of their Chapter. They firmly believe it is the manifest duty of the White Scars to destroy the enemies of the Imperium, awaiting the day that that Emperor will rise again, signaling the return of their lost Primarch and the beginning of the next Great Crusade to unify all of humanity. The Storm Seers believe that their powers are connected to the animistic spirits of the land and the air, and that as long as these natural forces fight alongside them, the White Scars will always be victorious. These elemental, animistic beliefs and the highly stylized Force Staff used by Storm Seers tie these warrior-mystics to their shamanistic past on the steppes of Mundus Planus. Elikas - Elikas was a Chief Librarian of the Dark Angels Legion during the Great Crusade. He voted in favor of keeping the Legion Librarius in existence during the Council of Nikaea.

Smite - The Librarian conjures up lethal bolts of lightning that leap from his hands to burn and blast his enemies into ash. 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. Space Wolves - There are few things that are "standard" about the Sons of Leman Russ, and so it is no surprise that they treat their psykers differently than the rest of the Adeptus Astartes. The Space Wolves do not have Librarians or even a Librarius, scorning such dusty and lifeless collections of knowledge. Instead they adhere to the ancient Fenrisian traditions of their ancestors, and those with psychic gifts become Rune Priests—skalds and storytellers who keep the Chapter’s practices and history alive through millennia-old oral traditions. While Rune Priests use their own powers and train in their own way, they function much as other Space Marine Librarians do, tapping into the Warp and drawing forth power to create psychic effects and reshape reality. Several Chapters have different names for Librarians, who vary subtly in their methods and their role in the Chapter hierarchies. Even on the battlefield an epistolary can send and receive psychic messages. Epistolaries have more mastery over their psychic powers than other, lesser-ranked Librarians, which allows them to use their abilities more often in combat than codiciers or lexicani.Hallucination - The psyker instils terror and panic within his foes by conjuring images out of their memories -- from past allies seemingly returned from the dead, to apparitions wrought from nightmares.

A Librarian of the Primaris Space Marines serves essentially the same function among Primaris Astartes as does his Firstborn Astartes counterpart. The only difference beyond his physical enhancements lies in his wargear, as it does for all Primaris Marines. Another role carried out by a watch fortress' Librarians is that of providing the watch commander with counsel. Given their access to forbidden knowledge and their innate understanding of arcane matters, the word of a Librarian rarely goes unheeded in the watch commander's plans. In addition to this, many Librarians are gifted with some degree of prognostication -- whether by way of visions, meditation, consulting the Emperor's Tarot, or seeming intuition, Librarians can often discern something of what will come to pass. In the heart of the Librarius there is also a smaller inner chamber, carefully sealed and protected. This is where the Chapter stores its most sacred artefacts, trophies, and proscribed texts, many of which are taken from the corpses of Heretics and aliens -- unfit or too dangerous for the eyes of any but the Chief Librarian. If the Devastator Doctrine was active for your army during the previous battle round, you can change it so that the Tactical Doctrine is now active.

Shrouding - The psyker uses his mastery of the Warp to fog the minds of his enemies, clouding their senses so that his allies appear as nothing more than indistinct shadows. Grand Master Ezekiel - Ezekiel is the greatest of all Dark Angels Librarians and has the ability to traverse the minds of his enemies, predicting their moves before they even think of them. His Mind Worm psychic power can cause an opponent's brain to literally melt and the destroyed brain matter then leaks out through the ears. Aggressor Squad • Desolation Squad • Devastator Squad • Hellblaster Squad • Eradicator Squad • Eliminator Squad • Infernus Squad • Centurion Devastator Squad With the power of their mind, they level fortresses, reduce entire armies to rivers of molten flesh, and split the very sky with fire and lightning. Chief Librarians often command other forces or assist the Chapter Master in battle. We can no more ignore or suppress our connection to the Warp than we could walk through a raging firestorm and imagine that we did not burn. We must master this gift, make a weapon of it, lest we be consumed by its fury."
