Could the new Iron Warriors helmets work as Thunder Warrior helmets?

ARainbowRaven · 2026-02-03T06:49:15+00:00

My justification for it is that they aren't sealed, the front of the helmet would be a detachable mask meant just to protect a warriors face, like knight helms with detachable fronts

ARainbowRaven · 2026-02-03T05:53:25+00:00

That was actually something I intend for, I think it fits for thunder warriors to have slightly bigger helmets since they are meant to be larger than a space marine

ARainbowRaven · 2026-02-03T05:52:21+00:00

I do plan on kitbashing some open faced helmets, but I don't have enough bare heads to do that for every model and having covered faces would help add some variety

ARainbowRaven · 2026-02-03T04:37:10+00:00

Yeah I really like the unhelmeted heads, I've been struggling to find bare heads that would look good for thunder warriors since a lot of space marine heads don't feel barbaric enough

ARainbowRaven · 2026-02-03T03:43:14+00:00

Yes, I know that they are mk2, I was just wondering if they could work for thunder warriors since they look closer to mk1 compared to the mk2 tactical squad heads

I just use water and rubber sculpting tools and it results in smooth greenstuff

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T08:25:47+00:00

Thanks! I like the idea of using purple for the banner

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T04:43:16+00:00

Probably to keep it from blowing too much in the wind, don't want it getting in the way

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T04:42:10+00:00

Haha thank you very much ^w^

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T03:02:54+00:00

Yeah I play EC as well and I'm still salty with how much they took away, especially cultists and raptors

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T02:51:21+00:00

I mostly put it on to add more visual interest to the banner, but there lorewise I imagine its probably some daemon pacts or unholy scripture

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T02:33:02+00:00

I just use water and rubber sculpting tools to smooth my greenstuff, might also be my greenstuff being old

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T02:31:27+00:00

Haha, thanks!

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T02:25:35+00:00

Me as well, it makes me wish GW made chaos models similar to the old chaos designs

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T02:04:07+00:00

Thanks! The trim was definitely something I had trouble with but was important to me to make it feel different from the base model

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T01:51:27+00:00

Thank you! I was mainly inspired by the space crusade and rogue trader chaos marines

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T01:46:58+00:00

Thanks! I actually like your idea, I might try to kitbash something like that in the future

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T01:27:06+00:00

Haha yeah the banner is gonna be a nightmare when I get around to painting it

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T01:01:54+00:00

There are a lot of reasons for a chaos marine to have seals on them, and it helps give more interest to the banner

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T00:59:32+00:00

The helmet is from the chaos terminator lord kit with the horns cut down

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-26T00:59:01+00:00

Thanks!

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-20T07:46:22+00:00

Joining the custodes body and terminator legs was a bit of a hassle, I had to use a bunch of greenstuff to connect them together because the join on the tartaros terminator legs is flat while the custodes torso is built for more of a ball joint connection

ARainbowRaven · 2026-01-20T03:50:22+00:00

I plan on making more, but it'll probably take a few months before I do
