That head looks entirely too Dr. Seuss.

It's like a farseer tried to make his helmet into a hooka.

any updates on the 'stealer heads?

Hey, CH

How about looking at other sci-fi properties and "borrowing" from them? Like predator style heads or HALO "inspired" helms for guard/SM? Perhaps some Avatar style heads for our Tau?

@Revliss: Are you the one doing their Eldar bits?

i think so why ???

Just curious, first I didn't know who did their stuff until you posted here too!


So you do 28mm stuff as well huh? Sneaky bugger!

which eye for the warlock ?

I'd go for the ones on the far left version, they say "Eldar" the loudest. Great concept!

I was liking the Right side head myself

My additions to the head design, those streamers will be hair, not feathers Right head is my editing.

I really hate that eldar farseer helmet. I cannot express in strong enough terms how much I do not want to see it as part of the kit. That said, I would love to see a warlock/farseer add-on kit for creating jetbike-mounted seers. I want warlocks and farseers on bikes with both singing spears and witchblades. It's really the only thing for my Eldar that I want. Everything else is covered well enough.

I like the concept helmet above on the right (the eye is what you asked about).

I agree.
While the Warlock concept sketches really says "Speed", the Farseer head says...I don't know really.

The head itself is really cool with the ornaments and the chinguard part/extra layer of front-helmet. It's the "horns" that ruins it for me.

Should you choose to keep them, they will be the first part to fall for the clippers.

Those stealer heads look SWEET!!!!!!

Dont worry about the Farseer head. After seeing it, I took the Editors Perogative and made some changes. It will loose the 2 horns, one is being exchanged for a "ponytail" of hair flying backwards. The other one is being filed-smoothed down.

Too many horns makes an antelope

Thanks, Chapterhouse, glad to hear it. Is there a timeframe I should be saving for? I only need 20 or so jetbike seers

Ill let Revliss give the timeframe, hes a pretty fast sculptor, but roughly Id say 1 month and ill take preorders (once I have the greens in hand).

Genestealer head greens should be on the way to me next week, then it will be 1-2 weeks for molding and production.

I am going to use them as Ymgarl stealer heads.

Ditch the hair, or at least make it so that people who dislike it can chop it off easily without resorting to hard time with a dremel and putty.

$0.02

These will likely be easy to modify, at least the hair part.

Now I've got another reason besides waiting for magnets to put my warlock conversions on hold. Looking forward to these space elf heads and bodies! Are you planning on selling the heads before the bodies are sculpted or are you going to do a one-in-all kit?

They will be an all in one kit, but we usually sell the heads and maybe weapon arms seperately for those who like converting.

And just because I cannot wait...When did you say you were expecting the eldar kits to be released?

Know what I'd rather see than different heads for `Nids? Boneswords and Lash Whips. They currently only have one set of these for the metal Hive Tyrant, but with the new book apparently giving them to Warriors, as well as allowing the swords in pairs, that might be someone other would be interested in as well.

First off this looks awesome, I was dreading having to cut up metal Warlocks to mount them on Jetbikes (Autarch type conversions don't cut it for me, they need rune armour).

Anyway I know this is a little way from production etc but what sort of prices are we talking about per Warlock/Farseer kit? Its difficult to guess a rough price as I can't really find anything else similar on your site as a baseline (i.e a complete conversion kit for a medium size model).

Big conversion kits like whole torsos that transform eldar to dark eldar etc might come in the future but it involves a ton of legal work (and cost) so it depends heavily on that outcome and e x a c t l y what can and cant be done.
Remeber we pay to have the bitz looked over and if needed be redesigned to be as ok as possible.

As for all the ideas that pop in, thanks people, we might not always have time to comment on everything but what we get from you guys in the form of ideas IS kept and when time allows it, utilised.

Personally I´m working this christmas on 3 new rhino kits and a whole range of heads and when I saw that medeval helmet on this thread I fell in love with it, rest assured I am including that one into the range I have on my table at the moment, lets hope my so called skill is enough to bring it to life.

I am, also impresed with revs eldar, I have my own take on the eldar concepts, I would liek them made with small delicate "intake grilles" added so I will be taking a try on one or two of the eldar concepts. If I now sculpt heads I might as well throw in some more.

Also on the table is a stormshield in the Iron Hands theme and one in the Dark Angels theme.

Realistically I would say these will be released in February, so save your funds now.

As far as pricing. I hate to estimate at this time, but going off our current stuff, I would think a Resin kit would go for $16-20 (keep in mind there would be a a couple of heads as well as weapon choices included). A metal kit if we decide to go that route, would be cheaper for everyone.

We are going full-steam ahead on Tyranid ideas. Boneswords, lash whips and many other options are being considered at this time, having two dedicated tyranid players on the crew makes tyranids a pretty high priority on conversion bits.

It will be very exciting once we have access to a codex.

Different torsos for Necrons would be nice. Something less Tomb Kings if possible.

Right side is my prefernence. The bug eyed middle one is the worst IMO.

@ Chapterhouse: Really like the news about the bonesword and lashwhip. The lashwhips I converted up a month ago were a real pain and didn't look all that good. Hopefully you make right and left pairs for each.

OMG id love to see a bonesword for each arm. thatw uold look just too cool. then i could complete my wraithlord (with wraithsword) vs hivetyrant with two boneswords idea..

any news about chapterhouse and doing boneswords?

The jetbike conversion kit is almost done, all we have left to do is the legs and bike handles.

Boneswords will hopefully be done this week sculpting. Ymargl Genestealer heads and "xenomorph" hormagaunt heads are being molded for production this week.

Female IG heads (first attempt) are done and waiting to be painted and added to the website.

Lash whips as well?
