Heldrake conversions

[incinerator950]

Eventually I'll be getting a Heldrake, and among the myriad conversions, the Ecto-head from the Forgefiend on the zombie dragon (forgot the name) body with forgefiend bits seems to be really popular. 

While I won't be exactly replicating this (it'll probably be cheaper to buy the bits for both sets than buying a regular Heldrake), I like the form of the drake with the exception of wanting to add feathered wings, and possibly the Forgefiend Ectohead.  How simple of a conversion would this be? 

The one thing that gets me is the tilt the head has, I want to straiten that, as I don't have the model, do I have to bend it a little?  Also, anyone know of alternatives for the claws the stock drake uses?  I don't like their look, and quite possibly would like to attach a set of rear legs.

One of the looks I'm going for is a vulture, emulating the style of the A-10 Warthog.  I may just use a Hadesautocannon from the Forgefiend for that look, but then I'd have to get creative with some form of head, and quite honestly the Hades autocannon the drake looks... pathetic.

Would it be the title of the head on the Heldrake neck, or a different neck? I imagine it won't be too much of a problem, give the balled space behind the EctoForge head anyway.

It does look similar.  Sadly I didn't update the topic to include that I've decided I'm going to be replacing the head and most of the next with the forgefiend Autocannon... so yeah.
