Techmarine Andreas Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Im curently working on some scouts but really really dont want to use the supplied heads. I read in a recent BL book (Battle of teh Fang I think) about a full face helmet for scout armor for use in Hositle Environments. Had a look on Forgeworld and the only possible options over there are teh Elysians with Respirators, or teh standard Guard Hostile Environment Helmet. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk297/M777A2/WH%2040K%20Stuff/CadianwithRespirator.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk297/M777A2/WH%2040K%20Stuff/DropTrooperwithRespirator.jpg I reckon the ELeysian one might look OK, but im really wanting other options. ANy Ideas where I could get SF Heads which would lok good on scouts? Have tried my usual sources of custom bit, Chapter House, Max Mini, Secret Weapon, Scibor but just cant find anything.

Techmarine Andreas Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 @Witty Thanks, those are EXACTLY what I was searching the interweb for. How nice are all those SCi Fi troopers on thier site!!! If ever I feel the need for an IG Army those guys are definitely on thelist.

Myxx Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I like the full mirrored helm from the DE reavers... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241789-helmets-for-scout-armor/#findComment-2921457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_starrise Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Honestly, I've found that the helmets from the Halo Actionclix Spartans work great for scouts. I used them on a squad of scouts that are meant to be adeptus arbites enforcers & they look ace.

Hemal Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 The Elysian heads are probably the best bet- the Cadians are just TOO Iggie. DOn't like those Halo style heads - not reminiscient enough of the 40K Imperial design ethos, most troops seem to have distinct eye lenses rather than a visor across the eyes. Other alternatives are to modify the existing SM Mk7 helmets appropriately, or use the SM sarge head with teh osmotic gill on a couple of models Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241789-helmets-for-scout-armor/#findComment-2923556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebG Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 For my Angel Sanguine scouts I used the helmeted heads from the Valkyrie crew. You'd have to get them from bits sites and if you want quite a few that'd be a pain but they look really nice and there's a decent bit of variety between the three - a closed visor, an open visor and an optic/augmetic eye - couple of the heads shown here: http://www.letthedicedecide.co.uk/category...e,b.html?page=2 if you look down at the bottom right two pics. I don't have an example on a scout at the min but they fit well and are less bulky than the pig iron Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241789-helmets-for-scout-armor/#findComment-2924074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja6fett Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I used mostly the Cadian ones and a couple of the Elysian ones and I have to say i'm really happy with how they turned out.

chromedog Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I used cadian vox helmets on all of my scouts - and I have quite a few of them (40). I collected the helmets in bits deals and trades, generally scoring 5-10 at a time (and got 20 in one bag one year.).
