Hello all. I am looking for 25mm heads to be used in place of GW LoTR's heads. I would like fantasy heads that are more on the real side. By that I mean heads that draw alot of there ideas from history. Mid Evil times ish. I don't want armored knights heads. If you have seen game of thrones something like that would be great. Thanks for your help!

Have you considered the heads that come plastic kits from companies like Perry and warlord games.

As far as Perry goes, For the price of metal heads, you can just by the whole box of figs. The "war of the roses infantry" box comes with 36 complete figs and 20 extra heads for about 30 bucks or so. Though the figs are 28mm, they are more realistic in proportion and scale pretty well with LotR, which are closer to true-28mm anyway. http://adventuresinminiaturegaming.blogspot.com/2010/02/perry-miniatures-plastic-war-of-roses.html

Here's a pic of a perry figure (they also do napoleonic) next to GW LOTR.


And another showing Perry War of the roses

Lastly, if you don't want the knight'ish heads, the "War of the Roses MERCENARIES" set has heads that may be more what you're looking for. I just haven't seen comparison pics using those figs yet.

thanks this is a great starting point.
