What to do?
In my original plan for the Deredeo I planed to use a winged helmet to tie it in more with the Dark Angels, but I think it put to much visible weight into the front of the dreadnought, making it look like a hunchback.

I like both helmets!
SvaraRaderaGiven the shape of the Deredeo, the winged helm does make it look like it's being 'driven' by legion warrior, detracting a little from the dreadnought imagery. Still a very cook idea, in my opinion.
SvaraRaderaI really feel this helmet dilemma, because the winged helmet is such a clean First Legion signal, yet the extra weight it puts at the front really does change the Deredeo's silhouette toward a hunchback. Your spare-head-and-cowling-ring test looks like the right compromise — it stays streamlined and keeps the eye on those big missile launchers at the back, even if it costs you one link to the legion identity. Since you already settled the finished model, it would be interesting to know whether the plain head won out in the end or whether you found a subtler way to keep the Dark Angels flavor. Either way, it is a great problem to have at this stage of a build, and I found Kick the Buddy APK download guide handy for a quick break between painting sessions.
SvaraRaderaIn the end I used the head without the wings, which I think was the right decision. I thought about using the wings in another place but decided against it.
