It's off the Bretonnian Knight sprue - either the Knight of the Realm/Errant Knight box. The neck needs a little ball of greenstuff to fit the marine scale, but otherwise it is a good alternative to marine heads. There are a few unhelmed options with long hair like this.

Ahh my thanks brother, I've been looking for a head like this for a while, Primarch's blessings upon you! :)

Your right Teetengee, likely running like the Joker's make-up in The Dark Knight!

 

Had a few people ask if I can replace the image panels of writing with just text in the posts, for easier reading/copy and pasting.

 

I'll make the makeup change when I replace the panels.

Thanks disease, glad your liking it.

 

As an update, I made my changes to all the previous stories and fluff to bring them in line with their new Iron Hands theme, feel free to check them out.

 

I just wanted to post up a quick WIP of Argent Hohenheim, a Contemptor dreadnought for the project. I was hoping to use half of a forgeworld contemptor, and half of a normal plastic GW venerable dread. With the conversion, there are severe torso issues, as the contemptor just has too much torso - so I sawed it down and replaces it with the smaller plastic joint. This will give it enough height to look proportional, and also will fit the top half correctly.

Also, I was just re-reading Graham McNeill's "Vengeful Spirit", and I caught a passage this time around that made me think. Interesting how even Guilliman has a similar conversation in Know No Fear - heavily suggesting that Ferrus is much more 3 dimensional than people give him credit for.

Just before going to bed, I wanted to post up a very WIP of the Viper Pattern Stormraven gun-cutter for the Chapter. The gun-cutter will be one of the few vehicles the Chapter actually still has in in bulk after the destrcution of Talus IV, and is the signature transport and attack craft for the chapter, that otherwise fights on foot.

Here's the original model for reference.

The Space Wolf flyer, with all ornamentation filed off, dual engines and stubby little wings removed, replaced with actual Stormraven wings, x 4 missles, single engines, and a slimmed and fin'd top. I saw a conversion that Cyrox did with only the wolf parts, but I thought the real raven wings actually give it some length and balance. Paint scheme will be very reminiscent of the striped Viper's from Battlestar Galactica.

Thank you for the comments on the Viper, your right about how a simple parts swap can sometimes have a large effect on the overall of the model.

 

Some more very rough WIP on the Ironclad dreadnought Hohenheim. including the home-made thumb cut right hand, which will need to be patched up to snuff. The chest is awful beat up looking, but will be hidden by the boxy plate I plan to put on (see below). Though you can't tell from the angle, he has some movement to him in the arms and legs.

All I wanted to make sure was to get the MKII helm in that chest, and was thinking of covering him up like someone did below, to keep a bit of that boxy feel, and make the "Ironclad" extra armor point look reasonable. What do you think? Boxy, or find a way to make the head a little more pronounce?

ahh you beat me to it, I had been making the same kind of dread for some weeks now (contemptor legs / normal top half)  where are the knee pads from by the way?

Those are from the death company/ furioso dread. Part of the arms if I recall.
