A white mantis sounds awesome. Any fool can wear black and be a bad , takes a real bad to pull off white....just ask Don Johnson

Exalted

Appropriate in my opinion given all the old-timey models.

Instead of a bike give him a Ferrari

Hey gang! I'm back from a well-earned vacation in the north woods. Ready to jump back into the saddle.

So... as far as I can estimate (because some people seemed to express a preference but weren't very explicit about it). Team "traditional chappy" is up on team "white mantis chappy" 6 votes to 5. I'll give everyone one more day to express an opinion, then I'll go with whatever version has the most votes. In the mean time, I'll move forward with appropriate bike modifications.

Hi gang! Back from a hard-earned vacation in the "north woods".

As I count it... team "traditional chappy" is beating team "white mantis chappy" by 1 vote: 6 to 5. I'll give one more day to let those who haven't expressed an opinion vote, then I'll act on the majority. In the mean time I'll start working on the bike.

Here's a couple of pics to refresh everyone's memory...




Please cast your vote clearly... "traditional" or "white mantis"

I'm going to vote for the traditional chaplain look, the mantis one is interesting, but traditional just looks so good

Purity of spirit Gits! White for me.

Have I voted?
black traditional.

again...white mantis! gotta go for coolness^^

White Mantis

I just got a mental image of a Chaplain singing "All Bone Everything" to the tune of Trinidad James's "All Gold Everything"

The white mantis picture looks so good, I'd really like to see a model painted like that.

White mantis!

I think I voted already and went traditional chaplain. But gee does that white mantis look awesome. But I am sticking with my traditionalist views.

I'll make sure to re-count from the beginning so I have everyone's vote correctly noted. If you accidentally vote twice, the most recent one will be counted.

I'm voting traditional black chappy style.

Traditional for me as well! But whatever makes you happy!

White chappy for me. Its just such a flavorful design choice. Go big mantis or go home

White. When have your mantis warriors ever stayed true to tradition?

I agree with Ice, feth tradition, go big or go home!

It’s that kind of thinking that got the Mantis in trouble. You think a penitent crusade might have taught them something. Especially the chaplains in charge of making sure everyone is doing the right thing.

How much deviance are we willing to tolerate here?

It was a chaplain who started the Heresy , stupid word bearers.

I'm voting for Traditional Black as you utilized white on your apothecaries.

Thats a good point, for that reason I say black as well.

Unless he can pull off the creams that Ramos did on the Kardaxx model forever ago, I vote Traditional Chappie.

For refresher:

White Mantis!

By my count the vote is tied, 11 to 11. I'll let it go a few more hours (until bed time).

Voting traditional.
