Helm Of Suppression

A helmet in the heavy power-armoured idiom: sloped faceplate, recessed lenses, a vox grille cut low across the mouth and enough armoured mass around the crown to suggest it was built for holding ground rather than moving quickly. The name points at the role. Suppression work means standing in the open behind a heavy weapon while return fire comes in, and the shape reflects that. Everything is thickened, hooded and closed off, with none of the open-visored bravado of a command helm. This is a bits piece, and head swaps are the quickest way hobbyists give a squad an identity of its own, mark out a specialist or push a proxy force away from the look of the box it came from. Useful whether you are building a themed unit for a grimdark 28mm force or just want one operator who reads differently from the rest of the line.
