Arnil Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 On page 71 of the 5th Ed. Space Marine codex there is a drawing of a White Scars Techmarine with a strange looking helmet. Is there an actual helmet that looks like that in any actual sets? If not is there any tips you can give me for making my own. I have very limited green stuffing abilities but I do have green stuff.

Zeller Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The closest helmet I think you will find is that one in the tactical squad box that has the 3 vertical slits on one side and the tubes on the other. Failing that a little greenstuff can be used to fill in some of the standard helmet grille and make an easy narrow one.

Cpt_Reaper Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I know the Dark Angels Ravenwing boxes have a Techmarine-like helmet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235080-techmarine-helmet/#findComment-2830781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofacoin Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 It looks like a normal helmet, to me, except with a very narrow respirator/"mouth". Other helmets with narrow mouths include several of the Chaos heads and the Forge World Mk V power armour head... and a normal space marine head available in the tactical squad box- though none get quite this narrow... Â If I were you, I'd either take "Space marine head A" http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/images/space_marine_head_4_large.jpg ...and get two tiny pieces of greenstuff, and a good light overhead, and very carefully get two tiny dashes of greenstuff to put them into the sides; note there's four 'inny' grooves and three 'outy' grooves- just filling in the outer two 'inny' groves would narrow the mouth significantly, and overlapping a bit onto the 'outy' grooves would get it to about the same width as the mouth in the picture. Â It's a very, very common bit to have lying around, and only needs a tiny amount of greenstuff, so don't worry about messing up; if you do, just buy another 10-pence online head!

Olgerth Istaarn Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Another vote for the Ravenwing tech helmet here.. It's got the unique shape and the big cog-shaped target finder on the side. Combine it with a Forgeworld torso, or with a Death Company torso that has the "iron apron" on the front, and you get a very nice "rough-forged" armor look.

Arnil Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 I did two helmets using green stuff. I did sofacoin's idea but with a different head...it didn't look right I'll have to find that head...I think my girlfriend has some in her head bitz box... But I did start messing around with A razor blade and that head Dark Master recommended...I dug out an indent where the mouth grill would be the I filled it in with green stuff to the level a girll would be and cut slits in it...I'll get pics up when I can...looks cool Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235080-techmarine-helmet/#findComment-2831580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnil Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 She called me last night with the revelation that she does in fact have that head. I have actually never bought a tac marine box so I didn't have it. I buy ravenwing sets for white scars. Actually the one she found was an older head, you can tell buy the color of the plastic, and it has a narrower grill than the one you suggested, I think it is just an older version of the same mark of helmet though cause it has the two Tubes on each side like the one you show.
