Looks like a great company for VSF and historicals, and the separate pith helmet heads (along with Artizan's) will be a nice extra resource for people who want to make 'modern' praetorians and the like.

I like them. The glengarry caps are especially slick I think. I think it would be cool to see how some of the capped heads looked on Cadian bodies, for staff officers or veterans or something. Rough Riders, even. Just to spice them up a bit.

Nice one. I'm still waiting for someone to do fallschirmjäger heads with gas masks so I can make some steel legion conscripts.

Thanks for the links guys, I'm familiar with both. Those german heads are close, but I want fallschirmjäger helmets. Give it time it'll happen eventualy.

You could cut down the rims on the German helmets to make Fallschirmjäger helmets. The first run of Fallschirmjäger helmets were regular German helmets originally, and they just trimmed the rim. Later they started making the FJ helmets specifically, but they started just as cut-down Stahlhelme.

They look awesome. I was looking for something like this awhile back for just that reason. The glengarrys would also make a nice start to doing some Highland Guard units. Maybe replace commissars with pipers as a counts as sort of thing. Reckon I'll have to get some of those.

Pith Helmets+Mordians=Praetorians, My 9th will be getting those beauties.
