GZG's heads I've found match Armies Army's range incredibly well, FYI.

Has Armies Army started producing their head sprues already?

Wasn't Micropanzer doing some?

got any better images of the GZG heads? The pics on the GZG site SUCK. Their old store actually had higher res images but the new one automatically re-sizes it to the point you can't make out anything.

The GZG photos alone, would put me off buying them I agree, but the ones from peter pig look pretty good,I've been thinking about getting some for ages. I would like to see some pics of the wolf and lizard heads. Anyone got any photos of them?

I just bought a sprue of French heads from Battlefront for the FoW army I'm building. Of course, being Battlefront, they would all be WWII, though many of these, llike the head in kepi would be good for quite a range of time.

And how on earth do you change heads on a 15mm figure?

I have some at the caster but want to see how they turn out and what the cost is before deciding if I am releasing

Should have next week

Sorry for late response

Ive been away on my holidays…well if you can call 2 kids and parents a holiday…:)


Im still not sure on the heads, due to a pretty basic reason and thats costs. AA's heads fit a limited number of figures. My heads naturally fit my own figures, however they were only scaled against GZG and they should be ok for some of the ranges which I sculpted against. Ive not actually tried them though. This leads me with the problem that I need to recover over £100.00 GBP in sales just to cover costs and that is a lotta heads to sell!

If I find good stuff … I've gotta share it!

Speaking personally, GZG's are great, but they do not fit smaller 15s, such as Rebel Minis. I was told in another thread on here sometime ago that Peter Pig's will fit a wider range because they are smaller, which having PP models, I do not doubt one bit.

Peter Pig has just released Tuareg heads that would be perfect for converting figures into post-apocalyptic or desert planet dwellers:
