Looking for bit ideas. Have modeling-block at the moment.

Specifically I need heads. And the Tabard/Lioncloth/Skirt looking things. I can greenstuff/detail the rest.

For the cloth, I can't think of much besides Dire Avenger skirt bits, with some of the more eldar-ey bits clipped off.

The heads are giving me the toughest time. I have seen decent work on Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons using Chaos Warrior helmets with he horns cut off. That's fine for a few on the rank-and-file grunts, but I need some more Egyptian style head pieces, that would look good on marines. There was a German company that made Egyptian-style marine helmet bits, and sold their stuff on Ebay. Sadly no luck as of late. I cannot for the life of me remember the company name. I have looked at other model ranges, but the closest I have found is "War Gods of AEgyptus" (https://www.crocodilegames.com/store/itemList.cfm?catID=14&sort=prodID) from Crocodile Games. Albeit close, they are too animal-esque to be marine heads.

Any ideas dakkites? I do not care if they are non-GW miniatures.

Just a few things really, might be helpful:

Those would be worth the wait. Thanks alot.

Also, Chapterhouse has some good products I hear. I recently saw a pre-heresy Thousand Sons army in person that used a bunch of CH stuff. It was quite high-quality and looked awesome.
