 Re: Beakie head fluff
The only bit of info I can dredge up is from my memory..
It has something to do with improved inter-squad/suit vox equipment as well as increased re-breathers and such in the suits. The vox EQ in MK VII is held in the two rather large tube/studs on either side of the grill of the MK VII helmet, and the grill itself is both an external vox speaker and re-breather unit, hence the less pronounced 'beak'
The MK IV is and example of this, and there is indeed a variant between the VI and VII that looks like a mish-mash of MK VII, MK VI, and MK IV. It is seen on a few very rare and old GW metal SM.
