I absolutely love Connery Marine and Razorback Marine. Awesome stuff. I'm definitely going to play up the wild-boar design elements on whichever guy I use that pig helmet for.

It would make a good chaos helmet to be fair, with some horns or tusks.

I want to know why they allowed to pig-head helmet to go through. It looks awful. The guy in the heavy duty paint-mask looks nifty, but I'm not sure how well it'd work with posability.....

thanks for posting.

Ok, I so totally have to make some counts as anything with the connery head...love the pic with that on a model....very cool indeed.

thanks for sharing guys...its great to see that they are putting a ton of cool stuff on the new spures (most of the new kits in the last year have been loaded with options).

Anyone who doesn't want pig helmets, I will happily trade them 2 for 1 for regular helmets.

I realise he's based on Titus, but I'm wondering if both Titus and Telion are based on Sean Connery.

In particular, I think Telion may be based on the character Allan Quartermain, an expert shot, who featured in the film 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' (2003). The character was played by Connery.

When was telion introduced to the game? And it wouldn't be the first time GW have used movies/actors as inspiration.

5th edition, which was released a few years after the movie so the movie would have been reasonably current when they were working on that codex.

Highly plausible then.
