alexsalpi Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hello Wolf Brothers!! I have my army already painted, but i want it to look more wolfy by adding some bearded or barbarian look bare heads. I´ve been looking for bits or sprues, that i can use (my Green Stuff skills are none) Hope you can help me with some ideas Thank you, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155261-space-wolves-bare-heads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Marauders and Marauder Horsemen from the WHFB Warriors of Chaos range, the Empire Flagellents, the SW sprue are the usual suspects. Bits suppliers are a good option. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155261-space-wolves-bare-heads/#findComment-1812919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 flagellant and marauder horsemen are the best option. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155261-space-wolves-bare-heads/#findComment-1813292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growler67 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Actually if you can still find them, I REALLY like the Mordheim Middenhammer heads. They came on a Warband or something that all had various hammers as hand weapons. I've been searching high and low for another box since getting back into my guys, but alas that boxed squad is NLA. I've heard that the new Chaos Marauder Horsemen heads are a good choice, but those are getting hard to find so I'll hold off a bit in making any more "nekkid" helmet-less conversions. I still look around at other games and such to find kewl parts to use in conversions. I do not engage in Tournament play and so I am unfettered with the "Only GW" bits rule. Some pics of good head options would be an appreciated resource as they are few and far between when Googling.

tuco Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm pretty sure the bits being referred to above from the Mordheim human mercenary band and the box set, often referred to at that time as the "hairy head sprue," are the head and hammer sprue for the Knights of the White Wolf Empire unit from WFB. I believe you can get it in the Knightly Orders box.

Wulfen00 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Yep the hairy head sprue, its in the knight boxes but might be able to order it alone depending on site and retailer.

Dark Bjoern Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Atm i prefer the new WHF Marauder horsemen heads. They are perfect for GH, WG and LF. And there´re some heads who´re perfect for BC bikers.

13thWarrior Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I have been looting and trading all the helmetless heads I can ... I know that this sounds like heresy but check out the Chaos Space Marine pack. I traded with several friends for a certain bald head with ferocity and long canines. He is perfect in lots of units Another that I used for my Wolf Scouts in camo cloaks (secondary unit) are Dark Angel robed heads! I will try to post pics Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155261-space-wolves-bare-heads/#findComment-1817657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamLando Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Every Space wolf in my army, except or the old wolf guards and the termies in metal who "came with a helmet" is bare headed :) And it really make the whole army stand out a bit. I've actually used everything from old empire heads to marauders, imperial guards, catachan jungle fighters, empire militia, mordheim.. you name it. If one of them looks like another head, I just add hair, beard and braids with green stuff :tu: Lately, I've also started sculpting my own heads from green stuff, just to give the army a more personal feel. And it's actually turning out pterry good. I recomend that you all try it sometime, with patience and good referenc pictures, it's not as hard as it sounds. Since I never use helmets for heads, I've instead put a helmet in every single wolf's belt :D Makes them look really special, and ready for anything. Oh.. here's some, although nowadays pretty old, pictures of my army, for head-reference :) Gungnir's Frostclaws, that is to say, old pictures of my current Sw army :) And just as preview, a back-picture showing their helmets in their belts,a dn some of those heads i've used. http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2632/helmets2ps2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155261-space-wolves-bare-heads/#findComment-1817738 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ragnarok Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Don't forget Catachan bits. Tons of bare heads and arms. Arms are especially good for making wolfy scouts.

Blackmane Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hi there.... Every single poodle in my army is without helmet, and actually I prefer the space marine bare heads, as they are the largest, and therefore the easiest to sculpt hair and beards on. this said I expect to use some of the new Marauder horsemen heads, 'cause they are almost as big and they're perfect haircuts for all kind of wolves -Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155261-space-wolves-bare-heads/#findComment-1821278 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrubb Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Here are the contents of the chaos marauders horsemen box. The sprue to the right is times two. (Am I a bad boy posting large pics? Could not go much smaller without losing detail.)

The company is called Micro art studio and is based in Poland. They do some great heads, but they seem to be changing their website atm ;) http://www.microartstudio.com/ Good suppliers that i have used for bits (in the UK) are bitz and kits & bitsbox, just google umm Hope that helps Long Fang Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155261-space-wolves-bare-heads/#findComment-1869991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
