Chaplain Terminator Skull, Crozius Arcanum

[Black Templar 307th Comp.]

Okay, so I frequently field a terminator chaplain with my Black Templars.  I bought my assault terminators on Ebay, Templarfied them and defaulted to using the one that had the Iron Halo as the Chaplain.  But I don't like the look of him.  He's got a bald head, and I hate those, and he just doesn't look cool enough.  One of the things I've decided to do is to give him a traditional chaplain skull head, but I don't want to just buy a Chaplain Terminator when all I need is a few bitz...but I can't find them anywhere.  Not on ebay or anything.  Does anyone know where I can get a 40k scale chaplain helmet, preferably in the the US?

 

Also I have custom kitted out chaplains as per the codex, they never use their Crozius, but people keep telling me I should have them as well.  Again, I can't seem to find the bitz to order, any ideas would be helpful, thanks.

The head I think most people use is this one from the Warhammer Chaos Warriors box. A crozius can be made with a thunder hammer arm with the head cut off of the hammer and replaced with  something like this, this or this.

have you tried chapterhouse, anvil industries, puppits war, or microart? they have some decent third party bitz and one of them is bound to have a skull helm. failing that, from the warp (a blog by ron saikowski) has a tutorial on how to scratch build a chappy head. my recommendation, go to a bitz dealer(I recommend Spikey bitz) and buy the dark veangeance chaplain helm as it's no big thing to shave off the DA crest, and it's a great helmet as well.

 

as for the crozius, ANYTHING can be used, from aquila banner toppors to the winged skull banner/backpack topper. but, since you are an illustiousl knight of the Emperor, grab two of those AWESOME maltese crosses from the BT upgrade box, glue them back-to-back. stick them on an appropriate handle an BAM, chapter specific crozious.

 here is a scratch built crozius for my Star Phantoms chaplain

and here is an example of what I did when I was a BT guy.

sure hope this helps, if only a little!

It really depends on your personal aesthetic- and it would help us if you posted a little more info; namely:

 

How decorative do you want your crozius? something with a chapter symbol? or without?

 

Do you have a preference for what the head is made out of? because I have a sawn off head from this model, in metal, I could send to you.  You'll need to sculpt on a neck peg, but it's a cheaper alternative to buying a model to hack up.
