Pack of 8 heads for 7,50 €, looks good for Necromunda and other suitable roles

Cultist heads – suitable for troops of the Inquisition, cultists of Chaos or other fanatics.

Excellent pulp-style doomsday cultists.

I'd get them to make IG or =I= psykers, but my wife would ask why I've got a box full of Klansmen.

My only issue whit these is... What would you put them on?
The necks seem suited for GW. So, I'm presuming it's for GW models.
Other than that, though, I can't think of any 40K models bought en masse that these woule look right on. Can't se ethem working on Cadian or Catachan IG.
:shrug:
Thoughts?

I mean, they look cool as Hell. I just can't think of a good body to match them.

Perhaps flagellants then tack on some chainswords/guns to go for the redemptionist look?

They also might look cool on the odd Black Templar. Pointy Mahreenz!

I'm thinking about using them on some Warzone bodies (being that I have about 200 sitting around) alongside some Blood Pact mask-type-dudes.

Thought about that, but then you've got a whole different issue.
It's been a while since I worked with flagellants but, as I remember, the depression in the neck is different enough from IG models to make it a real annoyance to swap heads.
Not impossible, granted... just annoying.

Eric

You know damn well I like these!

I was thinking they might make good heads for priest minis (yes, there is an order of catholic priests IIRC that wear hoods just like these), but like the rest of you I cant think of a suitable body...

But the spanish inquisition is where this style of hood comes from.


Trust me, I have to explain it to alot of people when they see my game I am working on..

''Why are you making the kkk?''

Sorry for OT

I like them. I'm just trying to picture them not coming off looking like Klansmen.

Now I'm picturing the idiot who'll come along thinking it's funny to make a Klan army. :(

Just put them on Dwarves, paint the hats red and the torso green and you have an instant Gnome army

Very cool, Chaos cultists here we come!

Btw don't the forgeworld apostate preachers have the same sort of hood?

They do, but you might run a couple apostate preachers, as opposed to running a whole unit of these guys.

I'd love to put these on Flagellant bodies, give them chainswords and laspistols and make a PBS out of them.

...uh...yeah, me too...

Well there goes that army idea.

Let's have him and the guy who paints his Marines like Nazis and have them fight to the death.

These heads on Flagellants will definitely look good.

As long as you don't paint them white, you should be ok.

Those could actualy look kinda awesome with the arcos if you slapped the cadian respirators on them....

They'd be awesome for putting some variety into a Mordheim Possessed Warband.

Those really look like Klan hoods. And, yes, some Klan groups use red and black for certain ranks :-/ As for the Spanish Inquisition, I am unfamiliar with any similar high hood- do you have a reference? The usual hood may be peaked but was much lower and would look more like a monk's hood with open face or an executioner's hood with closed face. They also had broader brimmed hats, of course.

Certainly, redemptionists favor the style, but outside of hardcore 40k fans, the first thing people will see is KKK.

hmm I just tried to order some, 15 euros to ship to Canada or 10 to the UK, for just a few heads...that's a deal breaker sadly.

Depends on where you're from. It's not even an Inquisition thing but moreso a Spanish thing.

Seville, Spain has an annual holiday called "Holy Week" (It's the lead-up to Easter).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Week_in_Seville

It's a religious holiday with traditional attire worn by the "Nazarenos"

The KKK weren't really creative. The associations derived from such hoods depends on where you're from as you may see from that Google Images link.

Feel free to search "Penitent" or "Hooded Penitent" on Google Images as well. It's not in any way a KKK symbol nor an Inquisition symbol but purely a show of religious faith.

Indeed. IIRC, the Klan chose the hood and robes specifically because of the religious associations. The Klan also believe that they're doing god's work by trying to keep the races separate.

For Redemptionists, use the heads on Bret. men at arms bodies for preachers and deacons, use the flagellants for the two lower classes (brethren and initiates or something).

Would also look good on Empire archer bodies.

Absolutionis: Great links! Growing up in the southern US, I never saw Nazarenos and definitely knew the Klan had nicked all of their attire (interestingly, the conical hoods were adopted in the 20th century. Prior to that, klansmen covered their face, but it wasn't a standardized uniform).

I would see people commenting about them being KKK masks but I do think they look cool , while the design may be a bit offensive to those who don't understand the origin of it but still they'd be great Chaos Cultists hoods and would be great for squad Preachers and Enforcers.
