Hello!

I am looking for some nice rebreathers for my guard. I don't like the WW2 look.
I tried the ones in the command box but they never looked right, perhaps theres a trick to this?
I'm interested in possbily making a savlar chem dogs army and I really need the rebreathers or different heads to pull off the look.

Anyone out there got any good ideas? Space marines heads? Chaos heads? Heads/masks from different companies? Any help would be awesome!

First ten posters will receive deliciously moist cake. Please forgive spelling and grammatical errors, English is not my first language.

Only thing you need to do with the command squad ones is cut off the pipe and brick - just keep the face piece. Looks fine o me.

FW and Pig Iron are my responses too. the FW cadians look a bit better, IMHO.

Agreed. Here's a pic of the kolony militia heads in action for the OP:

The FW Elysian ones are the gasmasks I use on all my Drop Troopers, they don't look German at all IMO.

Those are pretty generic style hazmat gas masks. Not German looking to me.

I don't like the pig irons ones. They look very german to me. The forgeworld cadians look too professional for savlar.

I know it sounds like i'm being very picky but i'd mainly like some masks without helmets.

Some good ideas so far, thank you for the posts, the cake will be delivered when I am home from work.

If you are doing Savlar, I would suggest a mix of the Maxmini Tox Guard heads that someone already posted, and Pig Iron Kolony Rebel heads:

Well, I don't think, that any of the mentioned gasmasks looks too 'German'...
The last, right gasmask of maximini, might look like a german one, but who cares?

Just click on an team pack with '(SHS)' in the title - the SHS refer to their 'seperate head system'. this'll give you a smallish picture of the guys showing the different helmet types.
