Beret Heads are always useful...looking nice, pity as I just scuplted the one I needed, I would say caps would be a good move too

They look great, I've spent ages in m IG army making big officer type caps:
( wip basing BTW) The off the shelf Commissar left, centre my converted one with copied cap in GS, right is kind of forage cap (?) based on this from a popular science fiction film....
This type of Officer cap would be good I think (this is even a sub type as it has Rommell style goggles)..
Just some ideas....I like your stuff

Your modelling skills are exceptional, I love customized guardsmen!
A Rommell style hat is in the works, I don't want to jump the gun too much right now. I'm just getting these started, more WIPs to show soon.
I can show one more thing that is on the way...

The berret heads are so similar to the first Starship Troopers movie.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House! |

I like those masked heads a lot. What sort of scale are they going to be? ie true or heroic?

After looking at that search, I must admit it's more than similar. I should have looked at it first before I built it. I've seen the movie 30 times or something so it's not surprising 
Easy enough to address:
