Well, this is kind of a modelling question. Can anyone identify this head swap on the Slaanesh Champion body? I don't think it's a GWS bit but not sure.

Those Maxmini heads are great! I actually ordered a bunch a few weeks back to use for my entire unit of Slaanesh Warriors.

That 5th head is pretty naughty, as it looks to be a sculpt from the exact head on the slaanesh champion, breaking GW's IP.

I like the 2nd one alot.

Looks like a dire avenger plume on top of the CSM termiantor lord head, although I can see that it's just from the slaanesh lord.

It's not, the proportions are different, the maxmini head is taller and the horsehair less bulky than on the GW one. Mostimportantly, there is no Slaanesh symbol, the only part of that helmet design that GW could ever claim to own: even GamesWorkshop can't copyright ancient Greek-style helmets...

I lurk, therefore I am. DOOM DOLPHINS!

They tried to claim Roman numbers, babylonian mythology (Lamassu) and Michael Moorcocks Chaos star though
(Although in court they currently have difficulties to provide proof that they invented the Roman numbers )
