I i need some help, i want to make a private terran house army for 40k and for the models i want this kind of head:
Spoiler:


The heads above come from infinity, sculptor website and a tali (mass effect) mask.
But i can't use them because the head are moulded with the body and i can't buy them separately.


I have order these heads but i want other models because 5 heads is little for a complete army:
Spoiler:


So the other heads that i could use are the Dark eldar head:
Spoiler:


But in all the bits websites their are out of stock and on ebay they are rather expensive 2 for 9.99$

So please if you know other head models that could work or a place where i can buy dark eldar head tell me.

Thank !

Would the Pig Iron heads be any use? The "closed head" type HD7 have a blank front.

Thank for unlocking.
These heads seem too round and don't feel like hi-tech technology but thank =)

What about Tau heads? With a little work you can smooth them down to something approximating what you're after.

Another alternative is Eldar Guardian heads. Trim down the pointy bit and GS up the faceplate and you can get a nice smooth result. I used this technique for my Mass Effect counts-as:



Alternatively alternatively, what about starting from something smooth and rounded that isn't a head, such as
Cadian or Marine shoulder pads? I used thius technique for my Terranwing visors:

What about the Dark Eldar Wych heads that are completely blank?

It is sold out, but apparently he stocked up on Wych stuff very recently, so he may be updating his stock very soon.

- I already think about Tau firewarrior head but they are really anchored as a Tau part and my army will seem to be from a planet that as betrayed Imperium to joined The Great Good.

-The Eldar guardian could make the job with Green stuff but they are a bit too elongated.

- For use shoulder pad maybe, they seem good for marine sized but huge for a guard size,

-Thank for the bits website information.

-Puppetswar: i already ordered the five head i show before but 5 heads is less for an entire army.

I saw some Tron miniature convertion but i don't know where the part come from and the guy didn't answer to my pm.

Thank all =)

This might be a long-shot, but wha about these heads?

Not sure if you could get them from a bits site, all you'd need to do is trim off the beards

Great idea these cool do the job and i don't need to trim off the beards as you can see on this picture:


It remain to find a website that sold ForgeWorld Battle bits.

You can also look at the dark eldar Scourge heads (Can usually find them on ebay for relatively cheap), or look at the wyches and reaver pilot heads. What ever route you go best of luck, your army sounds like it'll be epic.

space marine heads+filing/gap filling? I've got plenty of heads that need something done with them, apart from being thrown in the trash. send me a PM if you want my space marine heads to do this with. It;l cost $5 for shipping, i think.

That is very kind, thank but space marine seem too prominent/too unflat (i'm not sure that is the good word).
