Quick question, how much bigger are Primaris Marine heads compared to regular Space Marine heads? I found these awesome heads for SM but I'm only making a Primaris army. Also, are their shoulders bigger?

The heads and shoulder pads are basically the same as normal marines. I've tried a wide variety of heads and almost any SM head works (though beakies and Mk III heads have some trouble with the gorget on the primaris bodies)

I prefer to buy from miniature manufacturers that *don't* support the overthrow of democracy.

Any head or shoulder pad siutable for a SM will be suitable for a Primaris.

If you like skull helms, may be worth looking for Reiver bits as well.

Do Primaris Inceptors use terminator shoulder pads? They look like they do.

Yeah, I'm gonna use those for the Reivers, but for everything else I'm gonna use the 3d printed ones.

No, they just have a different fronta design but size-wise they use standard space marine shoulders. Its so that all of their chapter-specific shoulder pads, upgrade sets and Forge World shoulder pads remain usable with the new models. THey've spent the guts of 10 years getting to this stage of having shoulder pages for every chapter, why suddenly invalidate all that by giving NU-Marines different shoulder pads?

I just put Reiver heads on mkiv bodies, they scale perfectly.
