Ok so I am building SM Scouts... I have two sets of Pig Iron Heads. The System Trooper heads, which do look much more 'marine' like, but overall give the scout an 'insect' look for some reason. I have also the HD.2 Kolony Militia Heads that look cool, and fit perfectly, but they are not very 'marine' like.

Please help me decide:

Option 1) HD.15 System Trooper Heads - for SM Scouts

Here is a photo of both heads on scout bodies so you can really see what I mean:

I like the Kolony heads more, they look less Imperial Guardish and more smooth and like a space marine.

The first really does look like a Cadian's helmet with a face plate on, the second on the other hand is much smoother and closer to the SM style.

I definitely see the "insect" look to them. They are great for maybe elysian drop troops stormtroopers, but for scouts i would say the second option. I think they will look better, and if anyone says they look too military style then thats okay, considering they are space "marines". Thats my opinion though...

Good luck man.

I'd go with the System trooper ones myself, but I don't like the raggedy looking Kolony rebel heads.

Damn rebel scum.

Failing that, the HD6 or HD7 helmets are also good choices.

Thanks guys ...I only have the HD.15 System and HD.2 Kolony. I've got to get my scouts all built and painted by Sunday for a Kill Team tournament.

If I had more time I might sculpt a 'beaky' nose on the System trooper heads - but I don't.
