mjrwaud Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Just a quick query for opinions on venatari custodes helmet options to increase variety (and workplace safety?) in the unit. Standard custodes / warden helmets are too tall, sagittarum are better but still a bit block-headed, perhaps allarus terminator helmets? Otherwise I was considering these stormcast helms: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-WW/Stormcast-Eternals-Vanguard-Raptors-2017 ... the bird motifs fit and perhaps I could convert the remaining bodies into passable sagittarum? Or perhaps something simpler like these FW dark angel upgrade helms: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-CA/Dark-Angels-Legion-Heads-Upgrade-Set ... they seem to fit the same kind of aesthetic as the aquillon terminators / custodes contemptor helms Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

superwill Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Im planning on using the helmets from these guys: https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/9zz4dt/forget_calgar_look_at_this_glorious_beast/ But now that you mention it, I’m not 100% sure they’ll fit... I’ll find out soon I suppose, they’re in the mail. I like the options you posted too, probably prefer the DA one. Love to see them when they’re done!

MARK0SIAN Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Below is a picture a friend sent me of the Venetari with an Allarus helmet. I’m afraid I don’t know who the modeller is to give them credit but I think it looks amazing!

Silverson Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I used the sagittarum guard helms and think they fit really well, as a note tho I had to remove the spike from the top and cut a small amount form the bottom so the helm sat in enough for me to be able to rotate it to look left or right.

Can you post a picture? The allures helm seems good, anyway. Maybe a little big?

Charlo Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The Allarus are the best by far I think - using any recognizably Marine or Stormcast head just looks strange in my opinion and instantly makes them not look like Custodes.

mjrwaud Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 Thanks for the input everyone! Those allarus helms do look pretty much perfect, the filigree on the crown really helps signify them as custodes. Maybe it's heresy, but those helms might even look better on the venatari than the allarus models themselves! It's a bit of a shame... I'm really not a fan of the bare allarus heads, so now I've got 6 allarus and 6 venatari and I might just swap all their heads!

Sharrowkyn Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 In the art work helmets look closer to Warden helmets, although the plumes may be a hazard to the jump pack air intakes!? https://pin.it/5efhmwsodnrss4 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353892-venatari-helmet-kitbash-options/#findComment-5262619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Datk Angels legion upgrade heads would look pretty cool I think. While I agree, I think you run into the problem of it looking distinctly Astartes and ruining the Custodes aesthetic.
