OK, tell me I'm not the only one who has seen this..

Now, I don't necessarily have an issue with the wolf shoulder and all the other detail. But the helmet...Please please please PLEASE...allow us the play without the helmet. 

I'm a space wolves fan, and yes I know these have existed...but damn...please give us an option. 

Agreed, I would MUCH rather have a Viking head with a great beard.  But if it HAD to be a Wolf Head then go Deathsworn.

If I ever see furry on my Battlebarge, may the Emperor hold my hand back. 

The images so far looks pretty goofy.
But I will wait and see until it's finished before I cast my judge.
Besides, I think it's a neat design. Always enjoyed seeing the goofy wolf helmets on the models.
My only concern right now is that the head/helmet looks so tiny, like, can a head even fit inside it?

Please Saber do not release a patch with that horrible helm. Scrap that, just give us normal helm and some pelts, all good.

Yea, bad helm for one of the most bad ass legions. 

Please change that silly thing.

They are also releasing a normal Space Wolves helmet for the other classes.  This is just the Champion. 

Although, it's still a missed opportunity to do a wicked Viking head with long hair and a beard. 

That helmet is so childish and sucks hard...  good job Saber on doing shit.

Yes, please...I just want techno-viking!

Wish I could use this skin on Bulwark instead of Vanguard. ​

They may release another normal Space wolf helm, but the problem is that hero skins are NOT customizable. So no matter how cool the furs look, we’d be stuck with the scooby-doo Halloween mask. 

PLEASE don’t do it!! It’s not too late to change it.

As a Thousand Son player I can only applaud Saber's dedication to making lore accurate skins showcasing just how stupid the Space Wolves actually are. Bravo 👏

By Leman Russ and the Allfather, WHY!?

In almost every piece of art (book covers, miniatures etc.) the named characters and champions go WITHOUT A HELMET!!

The Space Wolves' super senses are no good if they're hermetically sealed in their armour. The only thing they could smell is their own farts!!

So for the love of the Emperor, ditch the helmet and give us a champion without a helmet and with long hair and beard, and FANGS!

Vanguard is perfect in my opinion, the champion helmet I hope they walk back. Red hair and red beard, a half mask with long hair. Or even the wolf skull helmet. 

I’d be content with it if they scrapped the helmet for the standard. 

I think the devs need to realise a champion doesn't have to have a helmet. I think it'd be quite suitable if there was one not to have one then a Space Wolf would be a great choice. Just the type to show off their long hair, long beard and facial scars. Makes me wonder why none of the champions so far haven't had a 'no helmet' option.

I was fearing they'd do something that didn't make sense, and they're doing it. Vanguard for the Space Wolves is neophytes, not befitting of having as primaris marines.

I personally always expected that the Vanguard Champion would be a Space Wolf since these guys are a thing.

Hounds of Morkai aren't really applicable to SM2 until we have psykers in the game for PvP, since they have a lot of specialty equipment and are a specialized niche branch for a specific job, just like how grey knights specialize in one thing. And I don't recall ever seeing any HoM using wolf-helms either 🤔 might be wrong about that one but I can't recall having seen it anywhere (I mean the normal wolf-helms, not the bone ones).

Just commented on how you said that "Vanguard for the Space Wolves is neophytes, not befitting of having as primaris marines."
HoM shows that Space Wolves much do have Vanguard units and that "vanguards for the Space Wolves" aren't neophytes.
