I have a small pile of Tallarn Imperial Guardmen. I want to convert a few other figures to have similar heads. Anyone know of a source of loose heads that would look right on a cadian plastic body?
Oh and I know I could sculpt them but I'd rather see what is commercial before I go that route.

Sorry I should have re-phrased that. I am looking for loose heads that are in wrapped up in Arabic style scarfs. I want to convert my plastic Cadians to mesh better with my metal Tallarns. |

Pig Iron Productions. If you look around, there have been a few other TMP threads talking about mixing GW plastic and the Pig Iron heads. They seem to match very well. |

To save anyone else from looking, Pig Iron does not make heads in a burnoose. I can't think of anyone who does. The other main source of separate heads not yet mentioned is West Wind's Separate Head System WW2, but I don't think there's anything suitable there, either (and the sculpting is variable, as you'd expect from that source). |

dropzonetoe: I am looking for loose heads that are in wrapped up in Arabic style scarfs. Can you use bare-headed figures and add epoxy putty scarfs? There's not a lot of howto info here but on the Major General's web site there is an article on how to convert plastic Caribbean pirates into Malay pirates, and one of the examples is using epoxy ribbon to add a head scarf. link Now that's a more of a turban, not a burnoose, which would be harder. |

I could do that and just might as it seems there is no commercial ones available. Thanks for the link. |

Dropzonetoe, Let us know what you come up with. I would love to see pictures. Thanks. CC |

Now then, Gripping Beast used to have some nice heads for their falklands war Brits? |
