I'm trying to convert up a Azrael from the DV commander and I have no clue if he's suppose to be bald or have a clump of hair. His miniature has some fuzz on it, but the art depiction of him has no hair whatsoever. I'm just trying to decide which head to use for him, as that will be the most distinctive part of him (as the Commander otherwise has all of the appropriate equipment). If no one knows, should I just use the hood head and call it a day?

I kinda wanna avoid a hooded head because I'm also trying to convert an Ezekiel which uses the same hooded head, so the two might end up looking too similar.

As for using the helmet, since the Lion's Helm is an actual piece of wargear, it runs into issues with the Watcher in the Dark as well as meaning that he'd essentially be Balthasar unconverted, as Balthasar is basically Azrael in all but name (and apparently with the common sense to actually wear his helmet).

I loved it until I found out that it doesn't mechanically work

How in Gork's rustled jimmies does a bolt round actually go from the magazine and enter the chamber from that? :/

The specific piece of art i was talking about was this:

He looks very bald in that one and it's the newest piece of art of him I think.

Hehe, imagine if they came out with a spraycan called "Azrael's Perm"

I think it's just the sculptor's goof, as in the latest 6th ed pic of Azrael (the bald one) you can see the Lion's Roar hanging on his shoulder, with the correct bullpup design. The sculptor probably cut that portion out so it'd fit under his armor and the illustrator for the schematic didn't realize it.

Space marines do get bald eventually right ?

I was gonna say "Cassius wants a word with you" before realizing he has the opposite problem as Azrael; namely his MODEL has no hair but his ART does.
