This piece is a full-scale replica of a Space Marine helmet from the popular tabletop miniature game Warhammer. The pieces used in the game only stand about two inches tall with minuscule features, yet this helmet is full-scale and completely wearable. Though the shape of the helmet is simple and heavily geometric in design, it is still a powerful piece that bears its own expression, with the triangular ridge resembling somewhat of a furrowed brow and the mouthpiece an open mouth bearing its teeth.

In the lore of the game, the helmets are worn by the game's protagonist space marines. Though helmets are traditionally worn to hide the face of whoever wears them, this one still bears an expression of its own, representing the ferocity of its wearer and instilling fear in his opponents.

The helmet itself is constructed of fiberglass, with sections cut out to install ornamental pieces such as tubing along the jawline and grated vents in the mouth and forehead.
