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

Product Information

Soul Sight - The psyker shares his Warp-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. Few normal Space Marine recruits survive the rigorous training, enhancement and indoctrination required to join a Chapter. 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.

If the Tactical Doctrine was active for your army during the previous battle round, you can change it so that the Assault Doctrine is now active. Short-Range Telepathy - A Librarian can send his thoughts into the minds of those around him for a short distance, making a generalised broadcast to every mind within a short range indiscriminately. Reading - Librarians that have the abilities of Diviners can read a person’s aura, the unconscious projection of his soul into the Warp. This is a very pale shadow, unnoticed by most beings, but a diviner can study this aura to learn about the person. When the Librarian activates divination, he can attempt to read the aura of any person he can see.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. 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." Chasm - The psyker slams his hands together, and then pulls them slowly apart. As he does so, a wide chasm filled with lava opens under an enemy unit. 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. Might of Heroes - The psyker cages the immense power of the Immaterium within his physical form and becomes the Emperor's vengeance made manifest. This ability greatly enhances the Librarian's already superhuman combat skills. This ability can also be used to grant the same abilities to one of the Librarian's battle-brothers instead.

The Chief Librarian is the strongest and most powerful psyker within a Space Marine Chapter, who all other Librarians in the Chapter report to, take instruction from, and respect. Few, if any, of the psykers within the Chapter will ever become the Chief Librarian. Reporting to the codiciers, it is the lexicanium's role to aid in the endless task of maintaining, studying and cataloguing the vast amounts of texts within the Librarius. In time of conflict, however, lexicani will leave the Librarius and take to the battlefield alongside their battle-brothers, using their powers to smite their foes.

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. Magnetokinesis - The psyker surrounds his allies in a bubble of magnetokinetic force before levitating them across the battlefield to a tactically superior position. Most Librarians carry scrolls and copies of ancient texts with them, either as badges of office or as references of wisdom. Almost all Librarians above the rank of Codicier wear Psychic Hoods, the arcane apparatuses which contain crystals that can amplify the wearer's abilities and strengthen their control over them, as well as enhance their resistance to the psychic abilities of others. Many Librarians are known to serve the Long Vigil with the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos, better known as the Deathwatch Chapter. Most of the Librarians called to serve in the Deathwatch hold the rank of Lexicanium, the most junior of the four ranks of the Space Marines' combat psykers. Each Chapter selects its Librarians in its own way, either from seed worlds, as it does with the bulk of its Initiates, or from the ranks of gifted psykers brought to the Scholastica Psykana. Most Chapters train and test chosen psykers following the ancient ways laid out in the Codex Astartes.
