Hey everybody, planning a preHeresy army. Problem is I like the look of the Mark IV helmets but the military in me just can't get over the power cables across the chest. So I got 2 questions.

First, are the power cables across the chest part of the chest piece or are that and added piece? This would be the easy fix if they where indepedent then I could the Mark IV and leave the piece out.

Second, does any body know of somebody that has a helmet that looks close? Then I can order Mark III and just change the heads out.

Thanks everybody.

It is molded on to the chest armor. Cutting it off is theoretically possible, but it would be a lot of work to make it look right.

I know of no other manufacturer that produces something similar, but you could always make your own with an standard helmet, some green stuff, and patience.

I saw the emperors children, they just didn't strike me. The word bears look closer but think they have to much stuff on. Just wish I could order the helmets.

You could also try some of the bits sellers on Ebay, but it probably won't be cheap.
