How to make/model Selucid Thorakite helmets?

[Droz_64]

The Selucid Thorakites are an Imperial Army Regiment from Olympia, and they're described as having khaki fatigues with scaled (Presumably grey/gunmetal) armor, and helmets similar to MKIV Power Armor helmets. What's the best way to model them? So far, I'm thinking Militarum Tempestus Scions with MKIV helmets, and the part of the helmet that normally goes to the neck would be shortened/removed. However, I feel the helmets would be too big. Are there any third party manufacturers who make helmets that would fit this description?

I'm using the Puppetswar Steampunk Guardsmen helmets to create mine, since i read AE as the Selucid Thorakite have helmets inspired by the mk.4 maximus helmets.

 

Also, +1 on what walter h said, Anvil is nowadays a freaking goldmine for guard players!

Could try taking a MkIV helm and shaving of the fin thing on the top and making it smooth. That'll make it look a bit smaller. Possibly shave some of the side doodads as well.

As said, Anvil Industry and Puppetswar do some really nice head variants, check 'em out.
