    Well personally I would recommend Dark angles as of your reaction to them in the video seemed to be the most positive as well as them being able to do what the white scares can do with the raven wing too some extent and have good legion specific units like the Blood angles. Or even if you don't go with them as your loyalist legion you could always go with them as the fallen laiter on if your still interested in them.

    Personally I don't mind the wolf helmets but if used sparingly. Like one upgrade kit for the entire HH box.
    My vote would be Dark Angles, they really capture to me what I think of with the grimdark 40k imagery to a fault. I get the nostalgia for Blood Angles, they weren't for me but they were a corner stone when I got started because it was when they got their 5th edition refresh and expansion. One of my first channel follows was Jawaballs.

    • @TheHalfDoneHobbyist
      @TheHalfDoneHobbyist  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You’re right, they’ll look ok dispersed among lots of troops. My vision would be a 100% customised army, so that’s why I’m changing.
      Looks like Dark Angels are the popular choice. I think units of Knightly marines would look amazing, while still looking like marines.
      I hadn’t heard of Jawaballs for a while, so I had a peek - he was uploading 13 years ago! Incredible.

    My votes blood angels, their second rite of war is fantastic and really great to play, plus real simple legion to learn the game system
    The second rite of war gives their paladins “line” as non compulsory troops so could do literally do some converting with the box termies mixed with a squad of paladins and get two squads of 10 just mowing down the field scoring all the way
    Plus their current upgrade sprue looks great on beakies and is quite tasteful
    Go blood angels

    Going to say Dark Angels, you seem the most interested in them, and you had concerns painting the white scars to a standard you would like. you also sounded like you would be more interested in fixing the old blood angel army than building a new one and you didn't care for the Sanguinius Model.

  • @hansgruber3064
    @hansgruber3064 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’d go for the Dark Angels they have some of the nicest forgeworld models and they have a interesting story arc.
    The Space Wolves have the worst forgeworld models with bolt guns with the iron sights on the underside of the barrel and wolf pelts that look like tentacles. The new paw patrol helmets are just the tip of the iceberg.
    When I picked my legion I wanted them to be the counterpart of the legion my brother was going to do. He picked the Iron Hands so I had to do the emperor’s children. Got some Phoenix Guard and Lord commander Eidolon, painted up a couple of squads. But then he starts painting he’s army yellow……..imperial fist yellow 🙄

  • @popburnsy3207
    @popburnsy3207 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The impression I get from this, is that GW intends people to only use a smattering of special heads per squad as opposed to whacking all of them on one squad. Which doesn't really bear out if you see how they tend to do every other legions helmets upgrade sprue.
    I wouldn't be surprised to see Blood Angels to get all face masks like a proto Sanguinary Guard. That seems like it would be off brand, for me. I don't know if they were a thing during the Horus Heresy era or after
    But seeing Space Wolves go all wolf helmets has kind of shaken what my expectations are from GW

    • @TheHalfDoneHobbyist
      @TheHalfDoneHobbyist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you look at the new World Eaters sprue, that’s how you do an upgrade sprue! Those things look amazing and makes the legion so unique, I can’t imagine taking a WE army and not giving all of them the new heads. Then you look at the Wolves and they just seem gimmicky. I know not every sprue can be a home run, but it just disappoints me that they missed the mark with the Space Wolves of all legions.

    Space wolves are really having no love lately. I am sorta of in a similar situation, having chosen in advance the SW, the upgrade kit seems more like a downgrade. I’ve decided to stick to SW and focus hardly on 3d printed stuff and conversions, but if I would change legion I would go for the Dark Angels. All the models are really well done and the legion rule are very interesting.

    • @TheHalfDoneHobbyist
      @TheHalfDoneHobbyist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, it's looking like the Dark Angels might be my new legion. I thought about persevering with the Wolves, but I wanted an easy way to get a ton of cool heads.

  • @joaquinarias4915
    @joaquinarias4915 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My two cents are that, for any standard army, you should not have every marine with a legion-specific helmet. They simply were not that common in lore. Important Marine characters in the books, such as Loken, wore standard helmets. However, when it comes to space wolves, I understand it. Most space Wolf infantry marines should have special heads ( and helmets) to signify their “space-wolf- ness.” The wolf helmets do not scream “space Viking” at all

    • @TheHalfDoneHobbyist
      @TheHalfDoneHobbyist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’d quite like to change all the helms! I did have a full space Viking theme in mind, so this scuppered it.

As far as the helmet on every marine debate goes, that is just my opinion. You can build your army however you like. You could always say your army comes from a special company with better access to forgeworld armor.

    Back in the day this wolf helmet came in 1 per box and MF fought for them on ebay how times change lmao, traded a lot of them over the years to friends when I switched to DA around 6th.
    No worse than the wolf skulls and wolf pelts IMO in fact in some units the number of wolf thing pass 3 per model. Its like complaining that dark angels have sometimes native american stuff on them.
    Finally you don't need to use the upgrade kits to make SW, the decal heraldry goes a long way for all legions.

      I used to have the old Native American Deathwing Terminators, but I wasn’t aware that bits still cropped up on DA. I thought they’d been retconned totally.
      I just want a nice easy way to theme the units. I guess my biggest gripe is that most other sprues get 3 variants, with 3 helmets each and it lets you shake the squads up a lot better. Plus, I think the helmets are worse looking than the old wolf heads.

    Difficult one to be honest. I like the white scars but not a fan of a legion which seems to push you toward a certain route e.g. bikes and jet bikes.
    The Dark Angels models are really cool but did you not give away your previous ones?
    Blood Angels would definitely have to be red and black for me. Not a fan of the gold either.
    Despite what I said about the White Scars I’d personally be drawn more to them as you could easily not put squads using contrasts and spend a bit more time then on the weathering. For table top the weathering doesn’t have to be fancy. Just some sponge and stippling in the colour of your choice

    I find it a bit rich that people are complaining about the wolf helmets when those white scar helms are extra samey to me. Design wise, they're basically all the same with slightly different top knots and paint. The wolf helmets are just okay. I'd get maybe one or two sets for my SW and use them for squad leaders and occasional characters. I'm still on board for Space Wolves being your legion of choice, but white scars would be my next choice for you. I've never been a fan of the medieval look for the Dark Angels. It only looks good for the Black Templars because they're meant to be Knights Templar.
    That said, I've always been a big fan of the more "wolf-ish" aspect of the Space Wolves and have said that it never gets enough attention over the Viking theme. They were never just Space Vikings to me, but also Werewolves and I really wish people would stop complaining when they embrace that aspect.

    • @TheHalfDoneHobbyist
      @TheHalfDoneHobbyist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the different perspective on that. Like I said, I don’t hate them, it just takes them too far from actual Space Marines for me. Plus, I do believe that, even within the wolf theme, they could have been executed so much better.
      I remember when the Dark Angel influence was Native American rather than knights, I’ve even got the original Deathwing Terminators covered in feathers. I can’t even remember when it moved more in the Knight direction.

    I think GW has lost their mind and forgotten that the wolf part of the Vlka Fenryka was in their souls not wolf eveything decor but that said I like the bare head atleast I will probaly stick with the White Scars helmets with a bit of work they will be good or take the mk 6 helmet from the 40k kit cut the runes of some and the tail of the others mix in some normal mk 6 helmet painted with some of the designs from the old 30k book and you have some better than this

      Yeah, these new heads are just a little bit too literal. The sad thing is that there’s so much scope with the Space Wolves to do something amazing and the opportunity has been totally missed.

    First off, the fact that there are nine of the same head? Yeah, no, skip that. There are such cool things they could have done with it and they didn't, so no. I could see that all being the same being cool for alpha legion or ultramarines, two of my favorites, but space wolves? Nah, forget that.
    I would say do white scars and not dark angels, but I also like the white scars and dislike dark angels, while you seem to really like everything in the Dark Angels and their scheme a lot more. So, honestly, either wait to see the blood angels heads, or do Dark Angels.
    Enjoy, look forward to more.

    The only helmets you need for your army come in the box with the minis. If you don’t like the alternate heads, don’t use them. If an alternate head makes you not want the legion you chose you were never invested in the legion in the first place and are just looking for clicks.

    • @TheHalfDoneHobbyist
      @TheHalfDoneHobbyist  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If every legion gets a nice upgrade sprue and the Space Wolves get that, it’s not great. A bit of variety was all that’s needed so it’s easy to customise the force. I was holding off building my guys fully because I knew these were coming, so now that they’re here and I don’t like them, I’ll choose another one of my favourites.
      I’ll probably return to the SW further down the line or maybe do a Kill Team or something.

      I guess it was a kneejerk reaction to the bad heads, while seeing other legions get nice ones. It made me think that if there were upgrade sprues for Contemptors, Terminators, etc, they'd probably be bad too. Also, since HH needs so many infantry troops, I want an army with a decent sprue.
