VIIILegionaire. Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just ordered a box of scouts with snipes, but I wan't helmets, like everyone else in my army. Now, the question is, what to use? I was thinking Kasrkin helms, but was unable to locate any on the bitz sites I checked, has anyone else here have scouts with helms?

Warsmith Aznable Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just saw some pictures on another website where someone had taken Space Marine Scout bodies and put Cadian heads and backpacks on them. That looked kind of cool, though it wouldn't give you a full faced helmet. There's numerous 3rd party heads you could look into, though none specifically stand out in my mind enough to recommend.

shortysl Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Forge World Cadian heads with respirators. It's essentially the Kasrkin helmet and as far as I know it's an individual part as it's intended to fit the neck of the standard Cadian plastics.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Personally, I like the Elysian helmets. Very, very cool-looking, and they match the scout appearance quite well.

Adjutant 23-46 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 oh, that could get tricky. With the stock heads you only have about 1mm clearance between the scopes and eyes. If you want to switch out the heads you should keep it in mind. Also, paint faces before gluing the guns :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252161-scout-helmets/#findComment-3058242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the Space Marine Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 May I chime in? A buddy of mine used the old Deathwatch conversion kit. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1110206 While the rebreather idea is cool, these are true space marine buckets that are actually a bit smaller than the plastics (as are most of the metal conversion bits/shoulder pads). Trust me, they fit good on scout bodies and look fantastic. The downside is that it's $40 and you only get 5 heads. Bits dealers maybe?

GhostLegion Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 hmm...i like my scouts with helmets and have many (well all) wearing either unvisored, or visored helmets...which fit quite nicely and look appropriate proportionally to the plastic scouts...

Kizzdougs Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I personally bare heads on marines and scouts (I know why people don't like them, i just don't agree). As others have mentioned forgeworld has a couple of IG kits that could be helpful. ForgeWorld - Examples ForgeWorld - Heads Whatever you go with i'd love to see some pics :) ++EDIT++ Please don't hotlink to images you don't own :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252161-scout-helmets/#findComment-3058513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Pig Iron Productions' System Trooper heads: http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/head-s...=2&sort=20a I've used them on my Scouts as have others and they look so much better than the awful GW ones.

RebG Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 ForgeWordl - Heads These are what I would have suggested too, the Elysian respirator heads fit in really well - I saw them done a couple of weeks ago in a display army at warhammer world. I came asking recommend the heads from the Valkyrie (spelling?) crew men, they're all similar while still being different and have some different lenses etc on them, you have to find them on bits sites though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252161-scout-helmets/#findComment-3058671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Like GhostLegion and sockwithaticket, I'd recommend looking at Pig Iron's stuff. My pick would be HD.17 System Trooper heads (they're very much what I intend to use for my own Scouts).

red_starrise Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 It's a little less codex-y, but for my Wolf Scouts I use Warriors of Chaos helms w/ the horns removed. I also use the axes & hammers from that same sprue to make their CCWs.

Cyrox Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The Elysian heads look too much like the cops in The Fifth Element if you ask me :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252161-scout-helmets/#findComment-3065878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromedog Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I've used Cadian vox helmets AND the visored pig-iron helmets (HD.7) for my scouts. The scout bikers got the vox helmets, the other scouts got these helmets. http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/bmz_cache/3/37153e03fa002986fa9c3614bb40e0dd.image.733x550.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252161-scout-helmets/#findComment-3066704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watcher in the Dark Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Pig Iron has some pretty good options for helm swaps, particularly for scouts. I'm trying to find one that'll work for a PA variant I want to use as LOTD counts as though. Not sure if any of theirs will qualify.

Jaegar Bloodfang Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The Elysian heads look too much like the cops in The Fifth Element if you ask me :lol: Was just thinking that lol..good movie B) , But really go to Pig Iron for scout heads. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252161-scout-helmets/#findComment-3066809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 In the past I've used bog standard Mk7 helmets for them: http://g.imagehost.org/0471/DSC00066c.jpg But I think everyone apart from me hated it! I still think it looks better than the heads the scouts come with, though it doesn't take much!

Yourius Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 If you want to make your scouts a little bit more exotic you could use the Death mask from the Sanguinary Guard box, I've used them on mine and they look a bit more "veteran" for scouts.

Darklighter Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'm not sure how they'd fit on sniper scouts, but on my shotgun squad I used Marine helms. I think they look bad-ass. http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Blood%20Angels/ScoutSquad.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252161-scout-helmets/#findComment-3071304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 i think marine helms look a little too large for regular scout bodies, IG helmeted heads work ok.. pig iron heads are also pretty good size.
