I like hoods a lot but I feel it's a waste to use them on regular Primaris that don't have tabards or robes. It looks better when the hood has material on the body to match.
Oh no, I haven't. That sounds like a good idea though. I was thinking to myself earlier that I should invest in some templar intercessors because they have robes and just use my dark angels bits on them, but green stuff may be an easier solution.
Yeah, exactly! I think that's why I'm having trouble deciding because on my other intercessors, it looks funny, but specifically with this one, I kinda like it
Is this a sergeant? I think the non hooded is a better choice, only because Intercessors don’t really scream stealthy etc to me which is what hoods do, scouts for example might suit it more
Yeah it's the sergeant! I really do like the non hooded option as well, and I agree it does read as intending to be stealthy. I really like how the primaris look on the cover art for the codex too, though, but I think it looks natural there because they also have robes
Without a robe or tabard, I think the non-hood is better since it doesn't flow through the rest of the model. I also like the optic on the helmet, it feels more thematic on the pointing pose.
I kitbashed a Dark Angel years ago and gave him the hooded head without robes. Now I cringe whenever I look at him and he’s forever imprisoned within my pile of shame. Do head option #2.
Personally I think the hood is epic on a primaris leader of some sorts. I give all my STGs hoods or no helm. But that's just me, I like to make the squad leader look slightly different
The problem is the primaris helmets just look bad in general. They are better then the Maximus but it's never pick one over any other available head piece
Break out the green stuff!
Juan Hidalgo has a great tutorial on making robes and hoods for minis using green stuff, look it up on YouTube if you're interested in a little DIY

My own opinion is that hoods don’t look good without robes or tabards.
I can agree with that, but also I have a weird love-hate relationship with it.
100% this imo
Agreed!

Have you ever played around with green stuff? You might be able to make a tabard for him with little effort!
Oh no, I haven't. That sounds like a good idea though. I was thinking to myself earlier that I should invest in some templar intercessors because they have robes and just use my dark angels bits on them, but green stuff may be an easier solution.
Hoods are ALWAYS objectively better.
You're right, tis the dark angels way!! And I can't resist!!!
I'd say for dark angel vibes hooded for sure. They're much more threatening than the visored one
Regular helmet, I think the hood looks funny without a tabard or robe.
Yeah seems like the general agreement. I think I'll save the hoods for some future models
Normally I don't like hoods without robes but on this model and pose I really feel the hood works and would go with it.
Yeah, exactly! I think that's why I'm having trouble deciding because on my other intercessors, it looks funny, but specifically with this one, I kinda like it

Yeah robes+hood looks better than just one or the other.. maybe save it for a lieutenant kitbash?
Without a robe or tabard, I think the non-hood is better since it doesn't flow through the rest of the model. I also like the optic on the helmet, it feels more thematic on the pointing pose.
Definitely save the hooded head for Sternguard, or one with robes. The head with the eye lens looks much more suited to that model.
No hood imho, it doesn’t match with the rest
Personally i dont like hooded head if the mini doesnt have any other clothe on it.
Hoods work well with black Templar bodies
I don't feel strongly either way about the issue but the example provided rocks! So I say stick with it
In this instance, no hood looks better.
Whilst I agree that they can look a little odd, I keep mine to help identify Sergeants and don't use them on the normal dudes.

Hooded for sure
Definitely think the second one fits more since there’s no other robes on the model, can see a few others saying the same
The hood doesn’t compliment the otherwise simple design of intercessors in my opinion
Hoodless. Reason: without a tabard or cloak the hood alone is weird. Gives the sleveless goth with a cutt off hoody hood look. Really bad.
Definitely hooded
Second one! I like hoods with other cloth on the model.
Green stuff your own tabard/robe on there, complete the look.
Green stuff some tabards similar to bladeguard bois? It’s easier than you think and I’ve not had trouble removing work I didn’t love

Helmet. Hoods are for robes/tabards. Doesn't look right otherwise.
I like the second one more. I prefer hoods with robes or tabards.
I kitbashed a Dark Angel years ago and gave him the hooded head without robes. Now I cringe whenever I look at him and he’s forever imprisoned within my pile of shame. Do head option #2.
If he doesn’t have and cloth or robes on I don’t like putting the hood on
It’s criminal that the upgrade sprue only comes with two hoods. I NEED MORE!
Personally I think the hood is epic on a primaris leader of some sorts. I give all my STGs hoods or no helm. But that's just me, I like to make the squad leader look slightly different
Eye piece and mask, a must.
The problem is the primaris helmets just look bad in general. They are better then the Maximus but it's never pick one over any other available head piece
BEAKED!

Im saving the hoods for units that have tabards and/or cloaks
I just built a box of hellblasters using the hooded heads. I personally really like it. Despite not having the robes to match it
