His face looks literally identical to the generic Marshal.

Looks very much exactly like the artwork.

I like it.

Love love love that helmet.

Here's Marshal Helbrecht:

Bringing over to the new page.

Helmet looks good.

That's one glorious model.

I mean, this is what Space Marines are all about to me - I'll take this over tacticool BS or silly Mario karts any day of the week.

Diorama-Rama!

Yeah. I want that for my Deathwatch.

Meh, even i must admit it's really good looking for a Marine.

Yeah, that helmet is *chefs kiss* fantastic.

I think that's what is missing for the Primaris Crusader squad reveal. The Mk10 helmets really don't carry the evocative crusader/knightly feel like that kind of helm does. We'll see if the Primaris Sword Brethren have anything similar to Helbrecht's big papa version.

Overall, MUCH better than the Emperor's Champion, Helbrecht is 10/10 in my books.

I think it's great. I just wish it wasn't a diorama, or at the very least that his attendants weren't attached to him and could be based separately.

It also makes me annoyed that when they did Fabulous Bill, they only made the guy on the left, and not the guy on the right as well:

Some of them do have an updated version of the old upgrade sprue helmet. Maybe we get spoiled and even have some more options. Personally I hope we can make an all helmeted version out of the box, as I avoid painting faces like big companies avoid paying taxes.

IF existing kits are anything to go by, the Black Templar's upgrade sprue should have Crusader-style helmets.

Well, at least one.

Awesome! Just killing it with the Templar’s so far.

If I get both models I'll put this helmet on the EC and use the bare head for Helbrecht himself.

Love the serfs; though I think I prefer the hooded version in the artwork. GW needs to give us more of these guys

First Primaris mini I really-really like!
I just wish his mouth was closed. If I ever get this guy, I’ll definitely choose the helmeted option.

I always wanted to paint the old Helbrecht model but avoided the finecast ... this looks awesome and will be added to my Prime Templars ...

I'm also a fan of the 'sidekicks' - I have the Dark Apostle just for the disciples. I hope they'll release an own box for the cenobytes (and of course normal servitors - it's time) without a chaplain.

The right call IMO, the new EC really should have had the wreath on the helmet and not floating above it like it is now.

Well, at least one.

Unfortunately, I feel like its likely to be just one. GW usually seems to avoid having too many variant helms to promote people buying more kits to get their bits (look at beakie helms for example).

"Helbrecht now comes with a choice of three heads – one helmeted and two bare "
We still have to see the other head. But the helmet is pretty neat indeed...

Man, the Black Templar kits are just killing it. I'm very happy for fans of that Chapter. I'm hoping I'll see stuff like this for my wolves eventually!

Love that they have kept Imotekh The Stormlord as having taken his hand as actual lore. I do not do Black Templars, but this mini is extremely tempting.

Helbrecht is awesome. That kind of diorama I can stomach.

On what base is he standing? 60mm?

Looks to be about 60mm or bigger.

Well, the cheeky tossers have blanked out mark gibbons signature on the bottom right!

Original




Warhammer community cheek

...that's kinda petty.

Might just be a different printing of the art? Without knowing if the "original" was the artist proof or the final piece, it could very well be there was a signed+unsigned version.

All of MG's originals are signed.

Also, this is an illustration made back when that would have needed two full originals, one unsigned and one signed.

I like that the model acknowledges that he lost his hand fighting the Storm lord


Fingers crossed the new Marshall has a similar style helmet
