I like these. I think I’d sprinkle them around rather than a whole squad but they’re cool, especially the Sergeant ones. Sure but there are also several units that will have / needs new kits that I’d hoped might finally get a preview Fire Golem 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Great looking heads. They'd be great to convert up techmarines for other legions as well, which is what I was hoping to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these would look good sprinkled in, but a whole squad kitted out with them? Nah. The MKIII heads still win for me, recognisably the same mark but each personalised and unique whereas these are a bit too uniform by comparison. I agree with this in general for most legions. As cool as some of the torsos were in the past, and (some) of the helmets, going overboard with a whole army with these upgrade kits can go too far and actually lose individuality in the army. Sprinkling them in, I would argue, gives more character, allowing models to stand out and add a lot of variety to the force. Only thing I would consider spamming is shoulder pads. That's what I did with my salamanders with torsos and drakescale cloaks. 2/3 of my force are fairly generic, while a third have torso, cloak, helmet, or mix of 2 or all three of them.

Master Commander Ajax Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I like that they’ve given the heads a “tech” look whilst still clearly looking like MKVI helms. They’d make great conversion parts for a Techmarine. The bare head fits in perfectly with the Iron Hands too and it’s nice to see the extra effort being put into the shoulder pads.

Vesalius Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 These look pretty cool! Will make for good techmarine/warpsmith. Still hoarding my IH Mk3 heads, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xin Ceithan Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I like these. Even if I can’t shake the impression that the front view seems eerily rodent-like on my mobile.

Corswain Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I really like these ones too. So far my favourites have been the ones that are not very...... beaky. quasistellar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinpact Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Oh hey, called it. And they're pretty good to boot. So, I guess we can expect whichever legion comes up MTO to be the next upgrade set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovemberIX Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Echoing the sentiment that these would make great techmarine heads, kinda wish they had the "roof scoop" though.

They've been roughly ordered by Legion number, so I'd expect to see Ultramarines/Thousand Sons next, as we've already seen Death Guard. tinpact 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerOrders Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Barehead looks like he is doomed to perpetually look mid-Poggers... Other than that? A pretty damned good showing for the poor IHs! Shoulder trim and head crest especially have some real flavor! So now we only have 3 traitors and 3 loyalists left! Somewhat concerned about the fact that a number of the remaining ones have some animal motifs given the split so far... I am somewhat terrified of the UM just having golden eagle heads or the Sally helmets being literal dragon heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fun, should expect a real gem and a real meme out to come out of the final bunch. Genuinely curious how they'll do the Ravenguard helmets (do they get hammed up the most to make them stand out as standard beakies was already their thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden-Paints Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Personally I think these are excellent. The better helmets so far have moved away from the beaky aesthetic, which makes sense when you think about it. Why would I want more beakies to replace my beakies?

Feel it's a based on your brain misunderstanding what you're seeing at first, ("whoa, those irises are HUUUUGE"), then even when you understand that they are artificial lens-eyes, you still have trouble unseeing the mistaken first impression) Typically bionic 40k eyes are a single eye attached to large "box" that's over a large portion of the upper head and face. Don't think we've seen this style of just the eyes are modified and little else. And both at the same time. Like, the model is not wrong, but my brain goes "eh?" the first instance I see the image, each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
