Relics and you templar edition

[ChargingSoll]

Since we've all seen the codex supplement through review videos and images. What are people thoughts and plans for relics, I think that tannhausers bones will be an auto pick for survivability but would like to see the others as well. Crusader helm on a chaplain seems cool, especially with the actually helmet bit on the helmet less indomitus chaplain. Edited October 11, 2021 by ChargingSoll

I can't in good conscience give a chaplain the Crusader's Helm because it isn't a skull helmet lol

Better then no helmet at all, truly become a crusading battle priest. Was going to use a reiver helmet but I want the chaplian to have something more unique.

[Marshal Reinhard]

And here I was thinking the helm would go on several of my captain models to up their templarness

[tvih]

I'm just worried the model will go "by your command" every time I do something with him if I'm using that Crusader helmet bit...

Have him do a nod as he's saying it and he'll be perfect.

I agree, but I was thinking of wearing the Crusader's Helm over his traditional skull, stacking them, like with hats in Team Fortress 2.

Or it could be a project in cubism for those so artsy.

[ChargingSoll]

I was thinking more of doing something similar to the night lords where they paint a skull on their helmet, or paint the metallic cross silver to contrast with the black and gold, maybe paint a skull behind the cross on the helmet so it looks like the cross is blocking the skull. Not sure yet just spit balling ideas for the chaplian. Edited October 11, 2021 by ChargingSoll

Oh don't worry, he won't be striding into battle helm-less. I already gave him the dark vengeance chaplain helmet!

Neither is Grimaldus’ helmet. It used to bug me a little bit I learned to like it

Eh at least that's a stylized face what with the "teeth" of the mouth grill. 

[Marshal Reinhard]

It's considered a stylized skull helm. At least ADB thought it was when he wrote Helsreach. (or at the very least that's a convenient defense when asked about skull helm :P)

[Lord Blackwood]

I want to make the most savage Biker Chaplain possible , since im going vehicle heavy. 

Probably give him the uh  Bones that make him only take 1 damage ever or something im not sure yet.

It was probably considered the height of skull fashion when MkV armour was released. However, as the fashion for more outre and gauche skull helms continued, it now appears somewhat tame.

Connoisseurs of the genre look back to its refined look with admiration, substance over style you could say.

GW Studio just don't paint the interior part of the faceplate silver, that's the disconnect. If they did, it would be more obvious.

[Marshall Bretton]

If we want to give a chaplain the crusader helm we could always convert it into a crozius? What says faith and zeal more than beating your enemies to death with the helmet of a fallen brother?

Yeah that's why it grew on me. I might even paint mine bone colored. So excited for it to get here.

 

I always used that dark angel's FW helmet with the brazier in the mouth piece as my crusaders helm.

The incense wafts across the battlefield and enrages the initiates haha

Maybe stick a skeleton on his backpack, and stick the Crusader's helm on that.
