Mattias Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I am looking for advice from the community as well as example images if people have any regarding the options for knightly themed heads for power armoured marines. Having searched around the three main options appear to be: Space Marine Crusader Helmets (e.g. http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/black-templar-crusader-helmet-p-21.html) Grey Knight Helmets Steam Knight Helmets (e.g. http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=60) Does anyone have any advice regarding the practicality of the three options both in terms of the end result and likely cost, or any example images? Alternatively are there any other options people have used that I have not listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Lucian Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Well if you want knightly, go MkIII armor from Forgeworld. Otherwise i would go with the grey knight heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlauG Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I usually play at a GW store, so Steam Knight and other Maxmini etc products weren't an option for me. I used a mix of GK and Crusader type heads (including the Ravenwing ones) left over from my other armies (My GKs got Forge World MKII and MKIII heads) for my Ravenwing Knights, see here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270249-resurrecting-my-dark-angels/?do=findComment&comment=3294984 Painted pics in a later post. :) Cost was a non-issue for me due to my massive bits reserves, I admit.

elmo Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 You could try Anvil industry - their heads options are here I have often used them for bits and they are reliable. You can see a couple of heads I went for and the torsos and legs here http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P2010014_zpsa08872e5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thank you for all the feedback, GlauG your Black Knights look fantastic, do you have any more shots of the Crusader and Grey Knight heads side by side for comparison and have you used either on infantry models?

GlauG Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks! I haven't used either on non-GK Infantry, but I did use both on my actual GK Infantry...
