Surgical masks, wrack style iron masks/cage helmets, skin peeling off their own face obscuring their features, breathing apparatus, facial implants, Hannibal Lector style muzzles. So Aberrants, and the Helix in general, could draw on a lot of horror cliches for visual cues for custom models. Would some kind of rebreather thing work for the Helix?The Helix's strength and weakness from a visual perspective is that they can look hugely divergent from a 'normal' genestealer cult because a lot of them are vat grown monsters or the subjects of horrifying experiments rather than creatures born as hybrids. Like, I do NOT have the 3D-modeling skills to make a good face. So, this is entirely unrelated to the current talk, but I recently picked up the Genestealer Cult Codex, and I was wondering, if I was to custom-make some Twisted Helix Aberrants, what would be a good face-type-thing to go with? Afterall there's no point in doing renovations when your house is on fire. It just has to somehow beat Abbadon and his marines, stop whatever plans the Daemon Primarchs have, not lose too much to Drukhari raids, destroy the Tyranid Hive Fleets, and somehow fend off any Ork Waaaaghs.Р”Р„fter that we can talk about reforms. And I don't think humanity can afford to change its ways. I don't think you can just 'fix it' at this point.

In retrospect, I'm surprised only half of the primarchs fell to Chaos. Kept isolated from humans (basically the only people around them were Marines), a much wider range of emotion, and basically forced into leading wars, even if that wasn't really what they wanted to do. And in the end they were only slightly more resistant to Chaos than humans, and much more difficult to deal with after being corrupted.Р”Р„nd the Primarchs are even worse. There was never a reason for the Space Marines to not turn against humanity and their loyalties were often went: Primarch - Their Chapter - The Emperor - Other Chapters - Humans. Space Marines are a very effective tool, but hey guess what? So were the Men of Iron. In modern 40k, the question becomes: How do you do all of this while also turning over 10,000 years of ingrained superstition and against the influence of embedded institutions who have a vested interest in staying rich and powerful? Guilliman has been at it for over 100 years and still hasn't made much progress.But the Emperor broke the most important rule: Keep everyone human. If only he'd explained it like that to someone else though, instead of being all mysterious and hiding under his mountain. So long as you count 'stealing a webway gate and murdering everyone who might object' under using xenos tech.

All great ideas, and apart from 1 and 4 were more-or-less what the Emperor tried to do.
