I am just starting to convert a heresy era Blood Angel army. I want them to be much darker then the 40k version and I am looking for any suggestions for suitable bare heads. Any ideas ?

There is one bare head with open mouth and fangs in the khorne berzerker box. http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/product_info.php/khorne-berserker-bare-head-p-69?osCsid=s9i2m0u4pl5gssbqvf24fakjg0

Otherwise just use normal bare heads and paint them with more pale skin. Or maybe you could try to add tiny tiny bits of GS for teeth on heads with open mouths to create vampire heads of your own.

Dark Eldar heads?

Dark Eldar heads (especially the bald ones) have a nosferatu vibe in them.

Dark Eldar don't look like Nosferatu at all.

Nosferatu are hideously deformed creatures of the night, not elegant Vamps.








But I agree, Dark Eldar heads will fit the standard Vampire look.

I am currently taking commissions.

Daemonette heads definitely offer a nosferatu look, and they don't look very feminine.

Else Empire from Fantasy has some screaming heads you could fang-up.

Regarding the wild hair on the daemonettes, you could always make quick passes on the hair with a lighter to make it pliable (in a well ventilated area, of course), or you could trim it off and greenstuff some hair.

Great some excellent ideas there. i think the deamonettes might be a step too far but I will check them all out.

I had this exact same plan.
If I remember, I'll post some pictures I've got when I get home.

I used the plastic bare head from the Terrorgheist kit, there are some really good heads in the Flagellant kit. I also ebayed a Konrad Von Carstein just for his head, though that didn't turn out as good as I was hoping
