Gotta say I'm loving those helmets. Nice to see the Khan's lot finally get some love from Forgeworld.

I quite like them too to be fair, although it does look like they have armour sideburns. :p

Really liking those helmets - I can see them being fairly popular for random conversions and kit bashes.

Oh those are lovely. I think the do the scars great justice, although much like the wolves I do wonder how they keep their suit pressurized with all that hair sticking out.

I always thought that the "hair" on these helmets was just decoration added to the helmet worn over a Space Marine's head which may or may not also have long hair. Otherwise, there's way too many potential issues (like what happens if the helmet gets knocked off during battle, or has to be quickly removed?).

yeah it never occured to me that would be their actual hair tbh... waaay too impractical, and at least in case of the Wolves I do believe there are several mentions of them kinda stuffing their hair inside the helmets in the novels... sounds kinda uncomfortable, which is probably why most Wolves don't bother with helmets in the first place (I know my Rune Priest in Deathwatch doesn't unless he has to... gotten several headshots for it so far, one from an angry Templar brother standing next to me on our very first mission :) )

I'm not familiar with Heresy-era White Scars, but why are their symbols different from the 40K ones?

I don't know why they are different, but it may be explained when they properly feature in a FW HH book in the future.

The Raven Guard's symbol is different too. Heraldry changes, especially over 10000 years.

So Forgeworld can charge for more expensive versions ;)

But seriously, I do like the helmets. Reminds me I need to get some outriders.

Am I the only one who thought these would look great done up Dornian Heresy style?

I have been waiting for the White Scars to get some love. Looking forward to the Khan model
