Looking for Sisters of Battle bits... but more corpseified


Recommended Posts

So, I'm working on a Night Lords Master of Executions and I'd like to do a bit of converting on him.  I want to replace the heads he's holding in his hand with some female heads. I have a standing rivalry with a Sisters player at my LGS :D  But for the life of me I can't find any that work.  The current SoB head sculpts are all grimacing, scowling, etc. I can't find any that look remotely... well, dead.  I've looked high and low for 3rd party bits and no luck. It's like the rest of the mini production world isn't grimdark enough to produce decapitated females :lol: So, does anyone know of any heads that would fit the bill? Screaming heads would do in a pinch, but I'm looking more for a slack jawed look. 

 

Cheers,

There's some in the anvil industry sets that are fairly passive expressions; e.g. I think at least 3 of these might work.

Similarly, a couple of the victoria miniatures heads. These are 3d printed instead of cast, but still a physical product.

Alternatively, if you want some *decaying* heads (additional scenic basing!) then you could do worse than fireforge's heroic scale zombies.

If a facial expression doesn't quite work, removing the jaw could change that (and would be impactful on top) but would require a bit extra work and probably a little GSing if you're not averse to it. Can't get more slack jawed than no jaw too, technically :tongue.:

 

Or, if you're willing to go the extra mile (or for variety) replacing the jaw with a skeletal one would pop - GW's box of skulls has some and is generally a great buy anyway if you have even a small need of skulls (and it's 40k, so you probably do) :smile.:

Aren't some of the new soulblight deadwalker zombies from AoS female? Might be something you could make work there?

Can confirm. The Deadwalker zombies has 12 (6 duplicated heads due to the kit being 20 zombies from the same sprues duplicated) female heads. That being said, some of them are also a bit decayed....

 

The following are all the female heads (apologies for the watermark, I don't have an unassembled sprue or I would have taken a picture of that :laugh.:), with their part number on the sprue:

Part 37

Part 40

Part 41

Part 42

Of the heads, I'd say only part 37 wouldn't work without cutting down of hair. 42 may be a little too fantasy female?
