Tonal Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hello Brothers, a question for my fellow Astartes. Recently I've been in the mind to convert a Deathwatch Blackshield in the likeness of Warsmith Barabas Dantioch from the delightful "The Iron Within". The problem is that Dantioch's most defining feature is a skull mask in the likeness of his Legion's symbol, and I can't find a good representation of such a thing anywhere. Does anyone know where I might procure a good skull mask? GW only though, as the only hobby shop within hours of me is their Hobby Center.

averykess Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hello Brothers, a question for my fellow Astartes.

Does anyone know where I might procure a good skull mask? GW only though, as the only hobby shop within hours of me is their Hobby Center. Just about every Chaplain model has a skull mask. Additionally, there is at least one legion of the damned figure with a skull mask, a couple of chaos marine heads which are skulls.

Quixus Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 And then there is the Skull Champion's helmet in the Berzerker box. You would have to remove the bunny ears though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281167-skull-helmmask/#findComment-3480278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targetlock Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 forge world enforcers alternatively there is one in the fantasy chaos warriors box. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281167-skull-helmmask/#findComment-3480976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seleucus Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 There is no head yet available that matches the HH Iron Warriors Legion badge - or anything near it. The nearest I could come up with would be to take the 3rd or 4th in line of the Maxmini Steam Knight heads: http://maxmini.eu/conversion-bits/head-swaps/steam-knights-heads-bits Remove the face part/visor, and replace it with a skull face cut to fit, such as one of the first three Skull Tribe helmets: http://maxmini.eu/conversion-bits/head-swaps/skull-tribe-heads-bits An expensive way to get what you want unless you can find a use for the other heads! An alternative might be to get hold of an Iron Warrior shoulder pad: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440213a&prodId=prod1110174 Make a GS press mould of the icon, and glue/attach it to a helmet - possibly a mkII from Forgeworld - via ebay? Obviously, the Icon is the later Chaos version, but it's close enough I think.

The_Chaplain Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 If you actually wait a couple weeks- the dark elves will be getting a release, and if memory serves the new executioners<?> have helmets that could look very similar to the iron warriors chapter symbol, with a little conversion work. Should be easy to get your hands on a head once bits sellers get them all broken down and available online. I'm not going to post the image here, but i'll provide a link to where I hosted the pic of the executioners on my flickr, spoilered and everything. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7368/10031834764_63e1543bc6_k.jpg Hope that helps!

T14 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Puppetswar's iron mutants might work http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=166 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281167-skull-helmmask/#findComment-3481523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonal Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Much thanks to everyone for responding, lots of good suggestions! As the mini must be 100% Games Workshop legal, I think I will wait for the Dark Elves as The_Chaplain suggest. Almost perfect fit, with a bit of cutting, and as a Dwarf fanatic for WHFB, I will always jump at the chance to deface some elvish anything. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
