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

Product Information

Machine Flense - The psyker's mind lashes out at an enemy war machine to shred its armoured hull. Not yet satisfied with the damage he has wrought, the psyker redirects the jagged fragments he has torn free to assail yet more of his foes nearby on the battlefield.

Umojen - Umojen was the Chief Librarian of the Salamanders Legion during the Great Crusade. He voted in favor of maintaining a Legion Librarius during the Council of Nikaea. Later, he became one of Malcador the Sigillite's Knights-Errant. The Imperium is eternally vigilant for the taint of mutation. Space Marine Chapters are, if anything, even more careful to ensure that their gene-seed is not polluted. Apothecaries rigorously screen potential recruits for any sign of genetic deviation, but not all mutation is physical. Psychic talent is a mutation too, and is at once the most dangerous and the most useful. The training of a Chapter's nascent psykers is one of the many responsibilities of the Librarius.Codex Adeptus Astartes - Space Marines (7th Edition), pp. 17, 27, 39, 59, 61, 117-118, 131, 254-256, 292-294 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. Psychic powers are the physical manifestation of a Librarian's abilities, and mark him as distinct from any other individual within a Space Marine Chapter. Librarians of Codicier rank and above make use of their psychic abilities in combat. These include the ability to project their consciousness above the battlefield so that they can get a bird's-eye view of the combat in a ritual that commences with the recitation of the Litany of Sight Beyond Sight. Doing so opens a wound on their forehead exposing their psychic Third Eye, which allows them to view locations that would normally be obscured. Whirlwind • Vindicator • Stalker • Hunter • Whirlwind Hyperios • Land Raider Helios • Thunderfire Cannon • Firestrike Servo-turret While most Space Marine Librarians never rise above the rank of codicier, a few continue to develop their gifts and grow in strength until they attain the rank of epistolary.

Lifting the Veil - Lifting the Veil is an extension of the art of Psychometry and allows a Librarian to look beyond individual psychic traces and relive the past of a place or item. Understandably then, to even become a Librarian, a Space Marine must be an exceptionally talented psyker and undergo years of gruelling training within the depths of their Chapter's fortress-monastery. This training continues throughout their lives, and Librarians are constantly testing their minds and bodies to reinforce the strength and breadth of their willpower. Therefore, just as a Chapter's Apothecaries test the genetic suitability of potential Space Marines, the existing Librarians are responsible for assessing all potential recruits to the Chapter for psychic ability. Librarians of the Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, and Storm Wardens are all trained in this way, and, with few minor traditional variances, have been taught to live by the word of the Codex. There are, however, a few notable Chapters that do not follow the Codex Astartes and its laws regarding the treatment and control of psykers, including the following. Psychic Scourge - The psyker pits his superhuman willpower against that of an enemy sorcerer in a battle of mental fortitude, seeking to scour arcane knowledge from the foul witch's mind so that he or she cannot use it in battle. This ability can also be unleashed upon non-psykers, in which case the psyker simply seeks to destroy their minds in a blast of psychic fury.

During their training they must hone their psychic power as well as gain some measure of protection from the predators of the warp. The greatest danger psyker recruits face is the loss of their very sanity. [1] Disciplines Null Zone - The psyker unleashes the full might of his mind to cast down his target's defences, both technological and mystical, rendering them vulnerable to the retribution of the Adeptus Astartes.

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. The Primaris Librarian blends the noble bearing of the Primaris Captain with a wealth of occult detail and baroque cybernetics indicative of a darker, more mysterious kind of warrior. The power of a psyker is darkness, fire, and death, given life and purpose to rend souls and break minds." Soul Sight - The psyker shares his witch-sight with his brethren, causing their eyes to glow with an ethereal light. So empowered, no foe can escape their omniscient gaze; the souls of their targets flare like flaming beacons in the dark. Smite - The Librarian conjures up lethal bolts of lightning that leap from his hands to burn and blast his enemies into ash.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.

Some Primarchs had accepted the ideas of Magnus on the beneficial use of psychic abilities in their own Legions, while others like Leman Russ refused to deal with what they saw as dishonourable deception and unnatural witchery and outlawed all psychic powers as simply sorcery by another name. In time, and with training and study, a lexicanium will eventually rise in rank and take on a more active role within the Chapter as a codicier. As codiciers they are often given more significant combat assignments, able to harness their powers with greater clarity. They are cowled in hooded Cameleoline Cloaks to keep their identity -- and the formidable psychic potential at their disposal -- concealed from prying eyes. The central pillar of most Librariums houses its oldest available copy of the Codex Astartes, held in a stasis-plinth or protected by holo-reflection.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.

Amongst Librarians, the attrition is far worse. The aspirant must not only endure everything a normal recruit would, but also have a strong enough spirit to withstand the moulding of his mind. A recruit must be taught how to hone and wield his powers, and how to protect himself from the Empyrean's innate hazards. A Librarian faces a thousand enemies before he even goes to war –- to the creatures of the Warp, his mind is a choice prize. Each day is a walk along a precipice, and a false step can see him tumble into madness. He also carries a HUGE Force Axe, for when mind bullets just aren’t enough to take care of the foe.
