Mmmmm Napalm Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Oddly enough the Judicar has grown on me. I might replace his head with the hooded Primaris Chaplain head. I love the Indomitus Chaplain. I'll be giving him either a Reiver helmet or the helmet from the plastic clampack Chaplain from a few years back.

Marshal Reinhard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) The one who's now in the space marine heroes set i believe (no not the random buy ones, but this: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-SE/Space-Marines-Heroes). I actually have that head spare, but may use it either here or somewhere else. Chaplains do sometimes have bare heads, so this one doesn't bother me much. I've been upping my face painting game, so I might go either way depending on how well I feel I paint it Edited June 13, 2020 by Reinhard BitsHammer and Mmmmm Napalm 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painting.for.my.sanity Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I'm very excited about everything (yes, even the turret) shown except the ATV. I can see myself doing a few headswaps, like putting a hood on the Judiciar, and giving the Chaplain a skull helm (and then probably moving his head over to the Assault Intercessors, because it's far too awesome to not use at all. That said, I'm not two bothered about bear heads on Chaplains - it's just I've already got one without his helmet on.

Barehead, maybe a Crusader helmet, either works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoyingly, the pics on the GW website are missing the sprue pic for just that model! What about Seraphicus? He's what the Grimaldus in the film is based on.

Marshal Reinhard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The Grimaldus film uses 3d models from space marine the videogame. Some have been modified, Grimmy's helm from there is most likely based on the legion of the damned dlc skin. That aside, Seraphicus' helm works pretty much anywhere after you remove the DA symbol. Used it on a kitbash with the primaris librarian myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I did see a great kitbash with him for Grimaldus once. I have the current Primaris Chaplain, I think his head will work well on the Judiciar, but I almost want something more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I think the Judiciar just needs aome different color choices. Give the leather cloth more of a leather texture and the helmet in a more classic bone while making the eye lenses brighter and we should have something that works.

Marshal Reinhard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I've been thinking the vanguard witch's head would look good him. Not a skull mask tho Sword Brother Adelard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Maybe. I may just end up using a Reiver helmet, I do have one kicking around at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJyo Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I was thinking, maybe greenstuff over the top of half of the torso on the vets may convert it to full tabard? For the BT look I may have to give them a cape too since they are sword brethren equivalents. Sword Brother Adelard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medjugorje Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Good question before, what color should be used for the Judicar? Again black? Leather brown? Maybe red? Or just a lot of red like the sword brothers use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medjugorje Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Terrain rules like heavy cover will benefit charging armies. Devot push is not a charge ( a small debuff I thought but we will have 2+ cover too) but with Assault Intercessors we will have an advantage. I think the new rules for terrain will benefit Aggressor squads too, especially because in 8th edition aurelian shroud was just used in first turn every time. It could be very good in future.

Acebaur Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I think the Judicar is probably the only mini in the box that I'm not excited about. Everything else is fantastic. The Bladegaurd guys seem like they were made for us, hopefully we can take them in units larger than 3, because that would be disappointing.

SydonianDragoon404 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Im super hyped for all of it, I bet the Judiciar will look ace with a helmet swap. I really hope that the bladeguard vets are unit size 3-6 so I can take 5 and a judiciar in an impulsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Honestly I think it's all color choice that brings the Judiciar down. The helmet is so desaturated people have confused it for skin, and the face cloth could have had a different color to either match the coat, or go in a different direction. The eye lenses are so dark they feel amost as if the helmet is "off" instead of the usual power glow we see too. But that's my quibble I suppose.

I think one of the problems with the helmet, is that the image we have of it is so square on, that you can't see where it changes from a skull facemask to a helmet, meaning it just looks like an undead space marine wearing a surgical mask. I'm hoping it may look a little better in reality? painting.for.my.sanity 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
