brunner128 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Well, my wife was looking at some of my SW's that I have finished and comparing them to my other mini's I have done and she asked me "How can these guys (pointing to SW) fit into helmets like the other guys (pointing to my older smurfs..These guys (SW) have long beards and long hair, how can they smoosh it to fit in the helmet"? I looked at her and I honestly said, I have no clue. I tried to think of it when I played lacrosse, there is room but not much and if you have long hair or a long beard it will get in the way to a point and make the wearing the helmet not comfortable. She kept asking me questions (which kind of intrigued me cause she has no clue about 40k universe) and the one question that stuck out in my mind was hygiene. She asked if they take showers and such.. Again I don't know. I told her that probably their suits take care of that part for them because the suits pretty much take care of everything else..Like I said silly questions but it got me thinking..

Blacksad Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Long hair and beards usualy take up a lot less place if they can't freeroam in the wind. it just gets pushed closer to the skull, and probably get wrapped around the neck a bit, acting as a scarf ;) (it's how I do it when wearing a helmet...)

arizonajirt Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 In the audiobook "Raven's Flight" it says that on Deliverence the marines and Imperial troops are rationed to 2 45 second showers a day, to which they also have to use that same water for shaving, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241415-silly-questioin/#findComment-2915999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Dammit Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Lacker it down when you know your going to hear a helmet, use a knife when you need to where it fast Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241415-silly-questioin/#findComment-2916032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Lacker it down when you know your going to hear a helmet, use a knife when you need to where it fast I believe it was in the Prospero Burns book, but they went over a situation where a guy was preparing his armor and when it came time to put on their helmets, his hair was lackered down with animal fat/grease. It's also a fairly strong assumption nowadays that SW dislike helmets b/c it dampens their acute senses. As to hygiene, yeah, I think the suit auto-regulates things like that, recycling sweat/bio-waste, etc.. plus, Space Marines likely have glands/secretions to stave off such things.

hendrik Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 not to mention they don't always wear their armour. frankly said i don't believe any marine chapter wears their armour continiously (maybe ironhands because of the integrated bionics). wolf's honour has ragnar and thorin sparring bare chested i believe and i believe ragnar isn't wearing his armour either when he climbed the fang to meditate a bit when his mind was troubled Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241415-silly-questioin/#findComment-2916105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
