Any suggestions would be appreciated!

So far I have everything I need to create this Imperial Guard look except the helmet.

not sure if I did this right or not, but possibly pig iron kolony militia nco covered helmets might work.

I was going to suggest War-games Factory too.

As WFs troopers come with 3 heads per body you will likely find people willing to trade, or at least you can sell the "excess"…

My favorite looking Imperial Guard Dragon Gunner.
Can't wait to see the completed product once you get the head sorted out.

Also Blight wheels Empire heads seem to have a similar look to the second picture.

Dragon Gunner,
been trying to recreate that exact illustrated uniform for years…think i might just give in and sculpt the head and cast it. If i get that far i will let you know. :)

Well so far I have most of what I need from Mad Robot Miniatures.

1. Greatcoat body, arms and legs.

2. Weapons

3. Pack and bed roll

4. Extra kit not in illustration to go on belt.

5. Imperial breast plate torso.

I will probably go with Blight Wheel Miniatures helmets its the closest match.

Dragon gunner we want pictures when your done I'd love to see how the turn out :)

I used to use the gas mask heads from Secret Weapon, but the finish on the helmets turned out too fuzzy and the detail on the filters ended up miscast hopelessly. These are now old equipment, new units are being issued with the Custodian heads from Victoria Minatures:
