Haakon Ironheart Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Probably most of you will be aware of the new sprues of the marauder horsemen for fantasy. I just wanted to point out that a lot of the 17 heads included in each box are ideal for us Space Wolves a lot of bearded heads, mohawks for our BC and other useful stuff. If you can afford some boxes you will be more than happy with the modelling opportunities they offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Yup.... just all the threads about it have fallen down the chute as it were. Thanks for the heads up though eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPetersson Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 There are a lot of helmets though :-/ Helmets that don't really fit in in 40k... Or can they be removed or are there more heads in the box? I looked at them here... Edited for wrong link... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ullr Direfang Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 yes sir, i plan on using quite a few of the heads my self :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 helmets work fine if you think about it. according to the design sketches for marines has the helmet consisting of two parts. the one on the back that covers the sides and top and the face plate which is inserted into slots and what not for you. just file off alot of the over the top part. also im guessing that a few of them come with horns which can be used to achieve the more symbolic viking appearance.

LPetersson Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 a few of them come with horns which can be used to achieve the more symbolic viking appearance. Being Danish and a viking re-enacter (cliché much?), something dies in me every time someone says or writes something along those lines ^_^ Looking at some bitz websites it looks like they come with enough appropriate heads to be worth it...

Dark Bjoern Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The box contains nine heads without helmets that works for SW. I have 18 of them already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Being Danish and a viking re-enacter (cliché much?), something dies in me every time someone says or writes something along those lines :lol: Oh, absolutely, but the 40k universe works on cliché, rather than being chained to realism. Look at the Black Templars, where the essence of the Crusading Knight has been taken, but it's a mish-mash of the various crusading orders. I guess the same is true with the Space Wolves - they take a bit of the viking idea (or the stereotype of the same) and then twist it to fit the 40k universe.

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 thats why i said symbolic. everyone assumes that they had bull horns and what not attached to their vikings. did they heck now. did a few more than likly. its symbolic and its what people think about especially with hagar the horrible on the funnies.

Ullr Direfang Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 well i plan on making a bunch of different scouts using the extra heads. to me some of them scream scout head. it just kinda seems like a really cool thing to throw on the lesser armored scouts *edit*(the helmeted heads that is) .

Barret Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Wait a minute... There's parts for five horsemen in the box...but 17 heads?! ...must...have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ullr Direfang Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 yes i do have to say that there are some situations were gw seems to have missed something. a few others i can think of would be the number of stakes in a britonnian bowmen box and the number of axes in a dwarf warrior box.
