I've used the "HD.17 System Trooper Alternative heads" found at pig-iron-productions (left) on the Mantic Enforcer models (right)



Which do you prefer?

The ones with the Pig Iron heads look much better. For some reason I find that a little surprising; not sure why, but, hey, who cares when they look so good?

Very nice conversion. Looks much better than the original. The paint on the visors really brings them out, although I think that the orange ones work better. YMMV.

The pig iron heads almost seem a little big to me, but I am pretty used to the regular enforcers. I think it's a solid conversion, especially if you like the Master Chiefier presentation, though I would personally stick with the stock "grr-I'm-a-skull-face" style helmets.

OK conversion. I like the standard enforcer look better than the pigiron heads.

Pig Iron looks better. Here's why.
The original heads are too small. They are the correct size if they were just regular heads. They make it seem like the models are robots with proportional sized robot heads.
The Pig Iron head are proportionately right for a helmet. The Halo comparison has been brought up a couple of times, but imagine Master Chief with a head size helmet-head.
Bottom line it looks cooler than original and it is more proportional too.

It might be more proportional, but they just look too bobble headed for me to prefer them. I tend to prefer to envision my enforcers as robo-cop style cyborgs anyway
