Pvnisher Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hey guys I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips for converting scouts with marine helmets. I think they look cool like that. Should I drill the body out a little bit to fit the neck. I tried cutting the neck part out but now they look weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinstryfe Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Bolter scouts, I just had to cut the neck off the helmet. Sniper scouts, I had to shave a bigger area for them to sit after cutting the neck off the helmet. Spaz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvnisher Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Ok do you cut the hole neck off or just some of it? Edited June 30, 2018 by Pvnisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Let me see if I can dig up a link, but GC08 did an entire army of helmeted scouts if iirc....

Pvnisher Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Those are awesome thanks. However those are reg marine bodies. So that’s an idea but I just bought a bunch of scout boxes. To bad I didn’t see that sooner. Edited June 30, 2018 by Pvnisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinstryfe Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I clipped off more or less the whole neck when I did mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiation Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 You can dremel out the collar. It looks better. Check out http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302875-doom-slayers/?p=5059280 for a pic of my WIP scouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Let me see if I can dig up a link, but GC08 did an entire army of helmeted scouts if iirc.... Cheers, Jono HERE we go Dude those are sweet scouts. Didn’t know it could look that good. Gives me hope my Reiver “counts as” Scouts should have a similar look when I’m done. (Minus the helmets because going to try to de-armor them as much as possible ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Good idea. I might do it myself. Perhaps Iron Armour helmets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Pig Iron made some helmets that were perfect for scouts but sadly they have gone out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Let me see if I can dig up a link, but GC08 did an entire army of helmeted scouts if iirc.... Cheers, Jono HERE we go Oh wow that looks great! I thought the scales would be terribly off! Is that using the current tactical kit or the previous one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Actually maybe the Skitari Vanguard helms or Scions helmets would look cool? BLACK BLΠFLY and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Scion helmets look great! Need a little bit of trimming or dremeling though apparently I don't have pics of them painter Edited July 2, 2018 by duz_ Captain Idaho 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinstryfe Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Sorry it took me a bit. Here you go. They're still just plastic but should get the idea across. SickSix and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Anything is better than the bare heads, they're just awful, all of them like they suffer from gigantism, especially when compared to the 3rd edition metal ones. Worst sculpts in the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfdeltafoxtrot Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 If you're looking for alternative heads, I'd recommend Anvil Industry's Black Ops heads. They're what I used on my Raven Guard scouts (pictures in the WIP linked in my signature). They fit excellently with a little trimming and have got enough structurally in common with Mk VII helmets that they don't look out of place.

Grim Dog Studios Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 My favourite alternative scout head option are the Cadian Rebreather heads from FW. Xenobiotic used them on his Space Sharks scouts and in my opinion they are some of the best looking scouts I've ever seen: Heads can be found here: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-NO/Cadian-Infantry-Squad-with-Respirators-Upgrade-Pack Ahistorian 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unseen Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I used Scion helmets and get a lot of compliments Requires just a bit of snipping on the bottom of the neck and slots in fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Scout Biker with Enforcer head. Fits ok but requires a spot of green stuff on the neck.
