So I want to use the heads off cold-ones instead of the War Hydra's default heads - since the cold one heads already have scale effects and are about the right size and hold far more detail and teeth than the default Hydra heads.



So first up I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good bitz stores in the UK (or europe or usa with good postage costs to the uk). I've done some googling but the ones I can find basically list nearly everything as out of stock (which isn't encouraging to consider how long it might take to get one kit in, let alone 6).

Secondly I'm wondering how many coldone heads come in the normal box. I ask because I've seen the "leader" head listed separately on one or two sites which makes me wonder if there are 5 heads or 6 in the box. Whilst it is a waste as a consumer to buy new boxed sets just for the heads alone, it's good to be aware of the maximum potential cost when costing up buying parts alone (esp with postage and packaging costs as well). At least then I know if I were paying basically the same as just getting the whole box.

Finally I wonder if there are any other alternative heads or 3rd party head sculpts that could be used instead of the cold-one heads from GW. I know there's a few hydra out there, but I'm not as aware of any suitable heads alone (most heads I find are for human/bipedal creatures)
