incinerator950 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I was thinking of a biological or radioactive attack that would force marines to seal their suits, and I thought to myself how some of the models like Fabius or Abbadon would look with Helmets. Anyone do any minor modifications to allow this? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298181-helmet-for-helmetless-models/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Abby just holds his breath. He's probably the one using chemical warfare anyway. I don't think that Topknot would ever fit into a helmet anyway, unless he borrowed one from a Dire Avenger.

Lord Asvaldir Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 He could just put on a breathing mask that some of the helmetless marines wear, which wouldn't get in the way of his topknot.

KaosRaptor Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 When I was thinking of doing a conversion for Abaddon I was actually wondering the same thing - unfortunately there doesn't seem (at least through a cursory google search) to be that many people willing to give the Big-A a helmet; I think the topknot is kind of a big identifier. That said, I always pictured him wearing something like the helmet Zhufor (from Forgeworld) wears - a regular terminator helmet with heavy modification and detailing to be the most impressive and cause the greatest intimidation. Either that or maybe something closer to a Warrior of Chaos Helmet - more "knightly" and regal looking, a parody of his previously noble standing. Regarding other characters, I'm not sure. One would assume they would have helmets (if only because it would be a necessity in any void conflict) but if they're not wearing a helmet originally usually that's a big part of what makes them unique. I guess just roll with whatever helmet you feel suits the character best?

Noctem Cultor Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I imagine the Warmaster is protected by the four Gods, but I would imagine some have clear masks with rebreathers a bit like SWAT gasmasks. I would expect if unhelmed characters used helmets they would either be just standard helmets for need rather than part of their equipment or fancy looking helmets that mirror previous squads they belonged to like Abaddon and the Justaerin?http://i932.photobucket.com/albums/ad165/Liamgregg1988/Justaerin_Termi_zpsd1630036.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298181-helmet-for-helmetless-models/#findComment-3838325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 He could just put on a breathing mask that some of the helmetless marines wear, which wouldn't get in the way of his topknot. IIf I recall correctly, that's called a osmotic... something-or-other (don't have my copy of 3rd with me right now, sorry), but yeah... this, or the Zhufor-type thing. As for Fabulous Bill, I'd imagine just a standard run-of-the-mill helmet, because really, he's not all that special. As for Lucy the Easily Beat (seriously, people beat him ALL THE TIME), he'd have something suitably ornate, maybe with replicas of his facial scars.
