Pre-heresy Marine Heads?

[Dunadan]

Where do modelers get the pre-heresy style Space Marine heads, like what were used in the Warhammer 30,000 BoLS codex? Are you carving them out of the "armour through the ages" marines?

I just had a discussion with Bigred about this, yesterday. I am doinng a pre-Heresy SW army. He showed me the kit they were using, it is the FW Red Scorpion Upgrade kit.

There are some gems spread across ranges. The best bulk buys are the Red Scorpion kit from Forge World and the head set from maxmini.eu (but they make even FW delivery look speedy!).

Across other GW sprues, there's 1 on the Black Templars, 1 in the Iron Warrior Metal upgrade kit, Khorne Berserker heads with the ears removed, Chaos Space Marine heads with some cutting work.

Heck, you could use Bretonnian knight helms like I did below:

That actually looks really good.

very nice whitehorn! well done


i concur with re-modelling chaos marine heads, i mean, you can't get much more pre-heresy than the armour from the heresy itself...

I'll have to look into that bretonnian head conversion, as I have several spare helmets in my bitz box. Is the studded shoulder pad from the chaos sprue, or is it just gs dots on a normal shoulder pad?
