Options: The Librarian can be given any equipment allowed from the Space Marine Armoury.

Special Rules

  • Independent Character: Unless accompanied by a Command squad, a Librarian is an independent character and follows the Independent Character special rules in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
  • Psychic Power – Smite: The Librarian can attempt to Smite his enemy in his own shooting phase. Smite counts as a weapon and hits automatically using the following profile:
Range Strength AP Type
12" 4 2 Assault 1/Blast
  • Command Squad: The Librarian may be accompanied by a Command squad, see the Command squad entry for details. Note that the Librarian and the Command squad count as a single HQ choice.

Errata — Chapter Approved: Codex: Space Marines Q&A (v3.0): Librarians have just the one power, Smite. References elsewhere in Codex: Space Marines to a power called "Storm of Destruction" are leftover from an idea that was toyed with but did not make the final edit — there are no rules for it and it should be ignored.
