Im making a TH and SS termie captain.
But i can decide which head to use

I like this one, But ti doesnt fit my theme

[Thumb - 100B0520.JPG]
This is my main choice the the ridge on the top of the head kills it for me

[Thumb - 100B0530.JPG]
Not sure about this. the head gear gives him a captain look but it doesnt give much of the "Epic warriors on the battle field i want

What about the sort of cyborg one from the tactical box? Gets that feel you seemed to want with the guy with the headgear.

I like the first one the most, not sure what your "theme" is but i always like my captains and leaders to stand out really easily among the rest and i'm a sucker for that hood.

If you really don't think you could let that pass I vote the 2nd one, i honestly cant stand the no helmet thing (like 3) personally but thats just me

Well then I'd say 3. Was just pointing it out as it should come in every Tac and Dev box.

First one. White Scars can use some hoods, too, if you want a mysterious Mongol and/or Hun inspired leader.



Just add GS beard and fur. And maybe a hunting falcon.

Terminator captains should have either a regular termie head or that one from tactical squads with the rebreather device that everyone uses for their flamers. That's what I think anyway.

edit: if you've got none of those left I have to say #1 looks best. I don't like hoods but #2 looks like it could fit CSM, BT or GK and #3 is super boring plus his antenna seems to get in the way of the suit lenses.

I like the second one. The first is my fave, but suits Dark Angels better, the second one with the mouth-grille looks ace in WS colours!

Post when it's finished, would love to see it!

3 is definitely the best one out of the proposed heads. You would be best getting another head, but like you said, you don't want to buy more bits.

I'd have to say 1 seeing as its 20% cooler than the rest, though then again that might just be because I have a thing for hoods XD

not a fan of the ven dread head as the mouth guard thing looks a bit too bulky :/

You definitely made the right choice, he looks great. Just put the dread head on a sergeant or something, or a librarian. Chaplain if you plan on making one.
