jimbo1701 Posted Saturday at 02:54 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:54 PM I agree with sentiments such as why not more variant armour MK helms, more bionics etc. but the main question for me is why just a head sprue and not a generic upgrade sprue with power fists / thunder hammers etc as well as (less) new head sculpts on.

Mmmmm Napalm Posted Saturday at 05:19 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:19 PM (edited) I can almost guarantee that the "female" heads will not look so when examining the unpainted sculpt. Not that they really do as it stands.

Comandante Alexos Posted Sunday at 10:21 AM Share Posted Sunday at 10:21 AM (edited) I think sculptors were only trying to make something different, maybe trying to release marine faces with more delicate features. Sculpting something different from the old Caucasian macho man is relatively new for them. I really love the new kit, can’t wait to paint them heads!

I'm not sure if this is some strange projection about what some people want or what they fear, but these assertions are completely baseless. What we have here are some heads that represent people of European, Asian and African descent. Some of them are painted with sharp colours that give the impression of eye liner, and the lips have perhaps too much colour. Any of these can be painted in a more subtle style to make them look more masculine, or the complete opposite.

Evil Eye Posted Sunday at 11:59 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:59 AM Yeah I don't think the faces are female at all- most likely it's the studio having forgotten how to paint faces again (similar thing happened with the Sororitas faces- the base sculpts are good but the paintjobs made 'em look like Misters of Battle). phandaal, skylerboodie, Marshal Reinhard and 1 other 1 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386851-space-marine-head-upgrades/page/6/#findComment-6136318 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wispy Posted Sunday at 09:01 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:01 PM It definitely feels like a symptom of the drama of our times. Sometimes it's better to unplug from that cultural gestalt, y'know?
