Okay, I just bought the Space Marine Battleforce (much to my surprise given my Mother), and I'm horrified about fething up the Scout heads, since I can't paint faces... not including the fact the scout heads look feth ugly like Nurgle took the universe's largest gak on them. Anyway, how can I do a conversion for five scouts using only the Battleforce and some bits out of a tactical squad kit?

I ain't got time to die, I'm too busy exterminating!

Now, we descend into battle like Angels from on high. The Emperor depends upon us as his messengers, and we shall know no fear! WE ARE SPACE MARINES!

Space Marines can only be male because marine implants only take with the male physiology. Males and females have differing hormone levels in terms of estrogen, testoterone, etc. Thank you for reading this.

Try to get extra space marine helmets. That is what I did as I hate painting flesh. I think they look cool too. If you have to find some friends or local gamers. They might have some extra heads if you don't have enough.

I used Chaos Marauder heads for my Space Wolves scouts. I just couldn't stand the heads they come with, absolutely dreadful.

I use these on my Scouts:

Note: They look a ton better in real life than you can make out on the picture.

Driven away from WH40K by rules bloat and the expense of keeping up, now interested in smaller model count games and anything with nifty mechanics.

Short of giving them space marine helmets, you can't.

If you want to spend a little cash, there are many places that sell alternate heads. I think Pig Iron might be most appropriate in this situation since you don't want to paint skin. Mad Robot also has very nice stuff.

I just used the non-helmet space marine heads, they are space marines after all.
