LucidNinja Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 During the early days of primaris rumours someone posted a picture of the inceptors with a black visor enclosing the head area. I think it looked pretty neat and was hoping that someone can find this picture and/or assist with ideas on how to achieve this look.

Olis Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Recently someone on FB posted an Inceptor with a 'visor' - it was a trimmed-to-fit shoulder pad. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335262-inceptor-visor/#findComment-4790239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyberos the Red Wake Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I hope the multi-part kit comes with visor down bits. I want to paint them gold. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335262-inceptor-visor/#findComment-4790253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imren Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 That could look pretty ace if you could paint it with the reflexive brown-gold effect, like the visor on the Halo-guys helmet.

Bryan Blaire Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Conversely, I think the idea is completely ridiculous: why would you need a head enclosure if your helmet is made of the same material as your armor and your armor can already survive re-entry? If you aren't worried about things piercing your armor, then why would you worry about the same for your helm?

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 It would be useful to have a blast shield to protect sensitive optics or shield the vulnerable head from debris on re-entry. The Gravis helmet doesn't look that much more armored than the non-Gravis armor, and they are already wearing Gravis because the non-Gravis armor isn't tough enough.

If you aren't worried about things piercing your armor, then why would you worry about the same for your helm?While I agree on the fact that the standard helmet should be fine for orbital jumps, this is an aesthetics thing. I prefer the look of the shield and I think the marine inside isn't wearing a helmet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335262-inceptor-visor/#findComment-4791293 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gravis helmet doesn't look that much more armored than the non-Gravis armor, and they are already wearing Gravis because the non-Gravis armor isn't tough enough.I'd agree if we didn't already have an example of a helm that lacks a blast shield that goes in what is very likely a much more harsh and damaging environment than re-entry - the Terminator helm was supposed to be survivable inside a plasma reactor's core. The Gravis helm looks to have at least the heft of a Terminator helm. Even if the Terminator helm was more survivable just due to the power field in the Terminator armor, something similar could have been built into the Inceptor suits over 10 millennia. The blast shield isn't a requirement for this and looks more ridiculous than other solutions. this is an aesthetics thing.Oh definitely, and if you like it, you should definitely go for it! I prefer the look of the shield and I think the marine inside isn't wearing a helmet:lol: But is he going to fight with the blast shield down after landing? If so, what's protecting his head without a helm? Fighting without a helm on a battlefield with rocket propelled grenades as the basic armament?

LucidNinja Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Shield down all day! See these are cawls first batch of primaris, he used a bit too much ultramarine gene and they all got big heads, they don't fit in standard helmets so he's improvised Bryan Blaire and Imren 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335262-inceptor-visor/#findComment-4791640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I was toying with this idea but not a fan of painting it as a glass visor. You could justify it if it was to accommodate tendril sensors or perhaps some additional protection against some sort of close combat monsters that use scything talons. He could be bareheaded underneath but the surface projects the images directly into the brain like with regular marine lenses. For me personally it's not so much justifying it's purpose over how it looks once painted, I'd be tempted to do that but add some camera lenses or something.
