Brother_Ovis Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 In short - I hate the plastic scouts' heads, they look like some Neanderthals with those overgrown jaws and low brows, so I'm looking for some replacements. I tried regular marine bare heads, but they are a little too big IMO, so I guess I have to broaden my search. Any suggestions? Or maybe someone here has some idea how to remodel the original heads to make them look less apelike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooley44 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 a more expensive way would be to use tactical marines, but gear them up as scouts, lose the helm, backpack, shoulder pads, another option would be to just file the heads back, and i agree scout heads remind me of apes, hence why i shipped them off and fed them to ebay :). got a nice 45 dollars for it which went towards my new brushes and paints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorne Worny Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Belive it or not I used a cadian IG helemted head it works quite well with scout armour and gives your scouts helemts added bonus :) il see if I can get my camera working an show you the one I did as I agree the scout heads are alright but need more veriation personally.

Cyrox Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Buy the old metal scouts - they are way better IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Ovis Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I know about metal ones - I like them better too, but they're not suitable everywhere - I have two plastic crewmen in LSS who need some heads and there's only 2 metal snipers, so I need at least 3 more to form a sniper squad.

Cyrox Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Some of the heads with the goggles are ok, and there are the cadian and catachan heads too - some of those are just normal heads and are usuable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celes Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 My LSS squad are all modelled with Elysian heads with respirators from Forgeworld. They look awesome, and I think there's some on here that somone else has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void_Stalker Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Check out Pig Iron Productions. They fit perfectly & look great. This option also doesn't involve buying a whole box of IG, or paying a premium to a bits site. Check out some of GreatCrusade08's posts - he has pics of his scouts using those heads if memory serves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevlarshark Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 You can make the Scout heads somewhat presentable by fileing the jaw a bit with a round ended needle file. But this does little to solve their constipated expressions... The Cadian command sprue is your best GW bet...but the WH fantasy Empire have a few good heads and Hasslefree have some good heads but you need a little sculpting knowledge to do some hair...They are all a bit bald.

onipunk Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 There's a topic in the WIP section right now that uses the Cadian arms and heads. Looks really good. Blood Angel Scouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I was thinking of using the IG/catchan head for my future scouts........theres a thread on here that is showing them.....so i defo agree that you should use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscuzzy Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The issue with the scout heads in that they lack a neck. Telion has a neck and he looks awesome. As for size, yes they are a tad large, but with a neck (a slight piece of plasticard or spacer or something) and they should look fine. Bare marine heads look good, although they 1. look a bit veteran, 2. have PA neck ribbing which you need to do something about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
