Primaris Librarian
Librarians are the psykers of the Space Marines who survive the rigorous testing and training of an Adeptus Astartes Chapter to bend the forces of the Warp to their will for the benefit of their battle brothers and in the service of the Emperor of Mankind. Beyond their psychic duties, the Astartes librarians are also expected to record the great deeds of their order and tend to the order's storehouse of ancient lore, the functions for which they are named.
A librarian is often estranged from the other members of his order. This is usually because the psychic abilities he possesses are often expected of his Space Marine brothers to loathe and eliminate most other beings. Space Marine Librarians use their skills to serve their Chapter's various endeavors; However, their actual place in the order of battle is always with the Librarius in a Codex Astartes-compliant chapter.
As its name suggests, the Librarius is a place within the monastic fortress of a Space Marine Chapter that houses the Chapter's vast knowledge base, amassed over millennia of hard fought battles and engagements across the galaxy. Space Marine Librarians are generally classified into one of four ranks, each with its own duties and responsibilities within the Librarius. The Librarius is wielded by the experienced Space Marines psyker, who holds the rank of Chief Librarian. The chief librarian is usually, but not always, the most honored of his psyker brothers.
The Order's most powerful battlefield psykers are the Postmen, each a hardened veteran of many wars. The psychic communication of the chapter and the records of the librarius are kept by the codiciers or the lexicani (sing. lexicanium). These ranks and responsibilities may vary from chapter to chapter. Masters of the esoteric arts, Librarians are martial mystics unleashing the power of the warp onto the battlefields of the 41st Millennium. With crackling bolts of lightning and storms of telekinetic power, they crush the enemies of the Empire, serving their order as unrivaled masters of lore as well as masterful leaders of battle.
Space Marine Librarians are among the most powerful of all psykers known to man. Each is a warrior of two worlds, skilled in the arts of bolter and blade, trained to fight foes on the supernatural battlefield of the mind. A skilled librarian can manipulate the energy of the warp in extraordinary ways and with spectacular Effects. Compared to the sanctioned human psykers deployed by the Empire's other institutions, Space Marine librarians wield far more brute power across a vastly wider range of disciplines.
The Primaris Librarian comes as 20 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round base. The kit also includes an Ultramarines Character Transfer Sheet featuring Captain, Chaplain, Librarian and Lieutenant iconography.
