The helms just seem random, I dont get the style they where going for I guess?

Kind of in keeping with this sinister, ornate helm design first seen with the Exodus art. It would have been neat if they could have gone a little more in this direction with the T/Y visor but I'm still pretty sold on what they've released. And sleek custom MkVI to the XXth's own specifications, because they stole that. Seems fitting to me.

 

Really tempted to pick up a set when they bundle it just to put together a little veteran squad or something. Also because I've always wanted to try painting that sexy metallic blue-green :P

I can see using the helms for alternate breacher helms for Mk IV plate, minus the one with the Alpha across his faceplate. As others have mentioned, they're just generic enough to cross Legion lines. I'd spend some cash on that.

 

The torsos, not so much. Pretty, though.

 

I need to see Perturabo next to a Land Raider Spartan. Time now.

Imo, the helmets look really bad. The mk 6 one is hideous.

 

Peturabo looks great

 

On the Mk6... kind of looks more like someone angle grinded an edge to it for more pointed beakyness.  Yeah, I get where you're coming from.  I don't think they are as bad as the silly undersized proportions of the DG helms (I like the spikes, and in general what they were attempting, but the size was bad), there's no bunny ears or bat wings, no hockey mask horror movie or a simple logo sticky on the top.  So overall they certainly aren't the worst :)

 

We demand Alpha Legion Mandalorian helmets.

 

You sir, you get a like for that one word you snuck in there, for the aliit.

Want to know why I like the DG heads? They fit perfectly in Terminator armor. I'm currently making a couple Primus Medicae using Deathshroud & Grave Warden parts, but I didn't want to use Deathshroud helms as to differentiate them a bit. Normal helms don't really fit naturally (Legion Champion head sans plume & Breacher head were both test fitted), but the Death Guard helms went in like they were intended to all along.
