jimbo1701 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 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 October 11 Share Posted October 11 (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 October 12 Share Posted October 12 (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!

Orange Knight Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 17 hours ago, Deus_Ex_Machina said: Some of those heads look as if they were meant to be female. I'm sorry but no. Just no. 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 October 12 Share Posted October 12 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). skylerboodie, Marshal Reinhard, Deus_Ex_Machina and 3 others 2 4 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...

Hammerfall Bunker themed as a prepper´s den with lots of impaled heads littering the premises. And don´t forget the lipstick on the heads. This would be a great diorama!
