Blindhamster Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I'm looking for some cool head suggestions for a blood angels captain with long hair. It's to use on the following model: In theory, i can sculpt something if needed, but wanted to see what suggestions people might have!

Gederas Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Spellcrow has some decent ones, imo: Most of them might be a bit too manly for the baby-faced Blood Angels though.... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363414-marine-appropriate-heads-with-long-hair/#findComment-5511270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Spellcrow has some decent ones, imo: Most of them might be a bit too manly for the baby-faced Blood Angels though.... i quite like the hair, but the faces themselves seem kinda weird on them tbh, Eyes and brows and cheeks seem very exaggerated. If i sculpted hair onto an existing head they'd be good inspiration though! I did find these: https://www.shapeways.com/product/6MG4FLCSC/warfaces-2-caucasian-male?optionId=97703193&li=shops which can be purchased in 5 6 or 7mm, i think 6mm is right for primaris scale. But not totally sold on how they'd look on a BA. I like second from the left on the bottom possibly.. but a shouting face maybe isn't quite right for the pose.

ranulf the revenant Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 The Puppetswar.eu-Range is huge and the casts are great. These vampires might fit your bill: https://puppetswar.eu/noble-vampire-heads.html Alternatively other human heads from Fantasy/ AoS? The size seems to work most of the time, especially older models have comically huge heads for normal humans. https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Stormcast-Eternals-Heads-Upgrade-1-2019 -> I like these ones too, admittedly not much long hair going on here ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363414-marine-appropriate-heads-with-long-hair/#findComment-5511277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely worlds above the spellcrow faces. Many other companies, including Spellcrow, unfortunately are still on the level of old GW sculpting-wise so unforatunely I can't help with finding something useable. I'm definitely going to follow this thread though.

Quite cool... not a fan of the other 4, but the grinning one might be worth the punt of getting a set anyway! Forgeworld sigmar lack longish hair, but they're a really good shout for the general head collection to be fair!

LameBeard Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Long hair seems to mean beards too - and a Blood Angel might want to be clean-shaven? But I quite like the one with stubble/short beard. These might be a bit small, more for guardmen: Maybe just get the new Saul Tarvitz model. Plenty of people out there want to give him a helmet, so you might even find the heads going spare.

Blindhamster Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 i thought about Saul, he'd be perfect in some ways, but his hair blows the opposite direction to the cloak on the model, which is a bummer. going to sculpt hair and see if i can get something similar in style to the shouty head i liked from warfaces 2.

Blindhamster Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 ended up doing my own, still tempted by the warfaces though.. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363414-marine-appropriate-heads-with-long-hair/#findComment-5512158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 That looks great. Is it the Dark Angels primaris head? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363414-marine-appropriate-heads-with-long-hair/#findComment-5512159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 That looks great. Is it the Dark Angels primaris head? yeah, decided i quite liked it, pretty regal looking in terms of features, and the scars feel fitting on a blood angels vet - marring their perfect skin figured i may as well use it, seeing as i used his sword too, bit of a waste of a 20 quid model if i only use the sword, whereas if i use the head its okay... right?

Doghouse Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Yeah it works really well. I look forward to seeing him painted. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363414-marine-appropriate-heads-with-long-hair/#findComment-5512178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Yeah it works really well. I look forward to seeing him painted. Now that I'm a little more settled into new home, I'm trying to get back into hobbying so figured this model would be a nice challenge. Will try and paint it for the board painting challenge I was thinking?!

LameBeard Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Looks beautiful. Better than Tarvitz head or any of the suggestions. Yes paint for ETL (fingers crossed that still happens?)
