So after my exams I'm going to treat myself to some Mk III Iron armour, and some Phobos Pattern Boltguns.


But the heads fo the MkIII just don't do it for me.
Are there any Alternative (excluding bare heads - can't stand them) helmets for them?
Or any Ideas that would work?

Thanks, J.

These would be my first choice if I wanted to replace the heads.

I think that the original Pig Iron System Trooper heads might go quite well

Cheers folks - very tempted by those Steam Knight heads.

Also, would you leave the Chest plates clean, or add a detail onto them? like, for example, a blood angels symbol?

I think I would be most tempted to just get some berserker heads and shave the horns off.

You could always hunt down the 'Company Champion' head from the standard SM sprues.

The following head, once it has been de-chaosified.

16 successful trades as a seller;

I second the maxmini steam knight heads! I use head #3 for iron armor and you can request to get all one type of head when you order

But if you are buying Iron armour already you will get heads that look almost exactly the same. The OP is after a differnt look.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

@Brotherjulian - I never knew you could request all one type of head. as Flinty said, no.3 does look abit like the MkIII heads, but cheers for letting me know!
Do you have any pics of said head on the Iron armour? I'm interested to see the fit.

I used the heads from the new PA Grey Knights for my MK III heads.

I was going to add a pic to the gallery and post it, but after getting hit with a virus a couple weeks ago Ive lost the ability to upload files (folders show as blank when clicking an "upload" button) and I dont know how to fix it.
