swifty Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I have read a few places on the web that these helmets were only used for vets or as honor markings but can't find any more reference to this in books. Is this actually stated anywhere or can anyone shed any more light on armor variations in general during the heresy?

Theredknight Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It depends on your artificer I think. I'm doing eidolons command company so although expensive, il probably deck out the majority of my mk4s with helmets, and a splash of mk4 boddies as well, so jetbikes will have heads, bods and pads because well.. They are made of awesome with our row :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292270-emperors-children-phoenician-helmet/#findComment-3714229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The only time I've seen the helm specifically mentioned is in Betrayal, and all that it says is that it's a "Emperor's Children Legion unique variant awarded as a badge of valour." I bought 2 sets to spread between three veteran squads and a command squad. A whole unit with 'Phoenician' helms would look amazing though.

swifty Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I was planning on giving them to the whole army since I bought collected visions all those years ago I fell in love with all of the different legion specific armor marks and they were my favorite. Hmm maybe I should be saving them purely for vet squads.

Russ Brother 92 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I feel that it would be fair and fluffy to have a few (1 or 2 per squad) in your basic line infantry and then go wild with 6-9 in your vet squads and dispersed equally among specialists like apothecaries and centurions. I think this would convey the feeling you want without (Imo.) diminishing the impact the helms will have.

swifty Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I think I'll ignore the tiny reference in betrayal and just go with rule of cool and do the whole army!
