awilden Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hi all, I was wondering what would be some good options for some zombie-like head replacements for chaos marines, im putting together a few squads of the burning of prospero MKIII marines to use as deathguard havocs for my 40k death guard traitor legion army. The theme i was hoping to acheive was a super heavy rusted/corroded ancient squad (still alive and kicking from the heresy, and still in their MKIII armour). And since i always model my sgts bare headed, i thought if they took the helmets off they would either be full skeletons, or withered and dried up mummy like bodies, being eaten away by nurgle rot for centuries. I modelled up one squad sgt with i beleive it was a skull from a vamp count skeleton kit (may be an older kit i dont remember where i got it), and it seems to scale well. What would be a good recommendation, either GW bitz or third party that would look nice? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 GW still do plastic a (now quite old) plastic zombie kit that has a ton of heads. They are quite big though, so be warned that they may make your models look a little bobble-headed. Mantic Ghouls and Zombies are very cheap and have some much smaller heads. The down side is that between the two kits, there is only about 8 heads, and a couple are a bit naff. Another good fit are the heads from the Frostgrave plastic Cultist sprues made by Northstar - they are GW human scale, and also feature withered arms and other potentially useful parts. Beyond that, there are some third-party resin heads, but I couldn't say how big/small they are. Best checking the usual suspects and judging for yourself I think (Kromlech, Puppetswar, MaxMini, Spellcrow...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I'm using the FW Nurgle Death Guard set as the bare headed option is rather nice and rotted otherwise the blight kings set has a few good exposed heads which are nice and rotted.

Major_Gilbear Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Further to my earlier post, the MaxMini zombie ones look promising: http://maxmini.eu/image/cache/data/products/bits/MXMCB049_zombieheads-441x315.jpg MaxMini will also do you custom sets of specific heads sculpts if you email them first; so you can swap out any you don't like for one that you do! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
