I have just bought the Pig Iron Kolony Rebel head sprue, and I just don't know what to stick them too. Ive seen IG, but they look a little under proportioned

. They just don't seem to fit in my mind. But ive heard that Brettonian men at arms do the job, creating unique trench- type traitors.

HELP???

Not sure what you mean by hunder proportioned.

If you like feral barbaric rebel look, you can invest in some Chaos Marauders.

**Krusha123**

Well, I mean that the IG bodies look too small IMO.

**Agamemnon2**

The Bretonnian heads have some of the worst face sculpts GW has ever made. Unless you really want an army of slack-jawed yokels.

Hes using pig iron head swap though, should be ok .

**Krusha123**

Yeah, and I wouldn't mind taking the men-at-arms helmets off too and sticking them on the Pig iron heads.

Here's what I used them with:

Skaven plague monk bodies and 40k bitz.

I've just bought 100 assorted Kolony Militia heads from Pig Iron (helmets & gas masks) and am waiting for the next wave of plastic Cadians before building them.

The pics on the interweb of conversions suggest that the scale is pretty decent overall. I guess it is just a matter of personal taste.

**chromedog**

I've got heavy infantry helmets on some cadians (I use them for Inquisition storm troopers) and they look fine.
Different enough from regular kasrkin or cadians.

Scale is fine. Cadians are about the only realistically proportioned minis GW do for humans (in 40k).

Pretty sweet Kyoto!

Well, the heads arrived yesterday, and their freakin' sweet. I have stuck them on Cadian bodies, I was wrong about the scale, and they look awesome. I'll post pictures up as soon as I have the time.
