I'm using a fair amount of scouts with my Dark Angels army, but I don't want to use the same heads for all of them. What are some other good head options for space marine scouts? Helmets are acceptable, maybe something like a gas mask or the helgast from killzone.
What are some sources I should look at? It doesn't have to be GW.

Do you have all the diferent scout boxes? Looking at pictures, the CC, sniper, and bike scouts all come with diferent selections. I know the scout bikes have a lot of extra heads (I think 6 or so). While there might be some overlap, having over a dozen diferent heads is not that bad a selection...

I have some sniper scouts I could tear the heads off and put on, but I haven't picked up any other types of scout units. I suppose I could grab a land speeder storm and pull the heads off that.
However, I was really looking for some cool hooded or masked heads to try out. I know there's some metal models of scouts, buy I need all mine to be bolter scouts, and the metal ones are pistol cc weapon.

The heads in the various scout boxes are pretty much all the same. The only different ones are the space wolves ones.
Imperial Guard have the same sized heads so you could use those. Warhammer fantasy heads are the same size too.
You could also have a go at modifying the existing scout heads. Scrape off the hair to make them bald or scrape of the sides to give them a mohawk.
Tonnes of third party manufacturers have heads too.

I prefer the Pig Iron System Trooper heads on scouts. They are just that bit chunkier. But that might just be because I used the heavy armour heads on my Guard.

I like these too.

I've also used plastic Catachan heads (I prefer the Heavy Weapon ones to the regular lasgun ones).
