Acebaur Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The head thing is truly the one drawback. it's over-scaled even by their standards. But maybe that's a safe way to avoid IP problems. Who knows! In any case there are a multitude of replacements and I am considering using a heavily modified Reiver helm. As for using that skull helm, first thought is it'll look great on a Chaplain Dread. ::adds Chaplain Dread to list of things to do for 40k.... item number #2,145:: my first inclination would be to drill out the spot for the head more and make it sit deeper in the collar Honda 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisada Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Can't wait to see it painted up. I don't think I would buy it but I'm glad it exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 That head is the first skull helmet of appropriate size IF there is supposed to be an actual skull of the Marine inside. You guys seem to expect a helmet to have the dimensions of the actual head? Honda 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Thanks for the effort of posting photos of the model. Only this made me realise how enormous the models from that company are. The chaplain seems really well-done in technical terms, but the sculpt is a bit too busy for my taste. I hope you'll enjoy painting the model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys seem to expect a helmet to have the dimensions of the actual head? The problem isn't the size of the head, it's how far out of the collar it sticks that makes it look goofy. I think having it sit lower would make it look better Honda and Firepower 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWORD BROTHER RYAN Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I agree that the head looks odd, but it can be altered. it's always better to start with too much than not enough! I, for one, like the model, and when I get around to getting Primarus Marines (yes folks, it's a when now), I'll really give serious thought to making this the Chaplain! Must add Templar fiddly-bits though. Honda 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I think the other thing to take into account is the "BA-like" halo around the helm. I would definitely trim that off, preferring a cleaner skull. That being said, a Reiver helmet would also solve the issue. I still like the figure, so its acquisition has been added to my "to do" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Well, not a fan of the model, thought it was too busy. But daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn if he didn't know exactly what to do with it. Colour me impressed. Bad pun, because the colouring is what I'm most impressed by. EDIT: i shouldn't read posts when i got a fever Edited October 20, 2017 by Reinhard TheOneTrueZon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
