Minor cosmetic change for Vanguard Veteran squad
Posted: Wed 07 Sep, 2016 5:07 pm
This is an absolutely pointless suggestion!
I noticed that the excellent portrait artwork by Tanathiel depicting the Space Marine Vanguard Veteran squad depicts a veteran wearing a Mk. 7 power armor helmet (painted white and with gold laurels, amazing attention to lore).
However, all the squad member models are wearing Mk. 6 beakie helmets.
Would it be possible to change the squad itself so they're wearing Mk. 7 helmets?
I would suggest changing just one guy to the Mk. 7 helmet (for example, the bloke with the Thunder Hammer.. or, whichever model was the Assault Squad sergeant prior to upgrade).
That way, the aesthetic of the beakie helms is maintained for 3/4 members, preserving congruence to the Assault Squad.
But changing one guy's helmet would answer the question about why the portrait shows a Mk. 7 helmet ("Oh, the portrait is a picture of that one guy there").
Again, this is something rather pointless, sorry to waste your time!
