Thinking of breaking out the green stuff and making a primaris version of this guy, but I’m stuck on his head. I think there’s a mostly bald wulfen head, I can clip off the plaits and GS a Gene Simmonds style tongue, but damn that’s going to be fiddly. Anyone have any better suggestions?

You want it to be bare-headed, specifically?

The plaits might be fiddly given the head.
There used to be some daemonette heads with long tongues? Or were they Dark Eldar somethings? There are GSC heads with ridiculous tongues. Might be able to convert or snip and glue.

The tongue shouldn't be. Remember, a tiny drop of super glue at the mouth will adhere GS instantly. If you don't feel you can sculpt the GS normally for this, here is a technique that might work.
Tip #1: take a teeny bit of GS roughly the tongue size you want (I'd roll out a flat wedge, thick but short) and roll the end that will be the tip of your tongue in a toothpick so it acts as a handle. Super glue the base to the model's mouth, then use the toothpick to stretch/shape your tongue to length and bend. Let it harden, cut the toothpick free.
Tip #2: Fingerprints on the GS will look like the normal texture of a tongue.

I am not saying this is easy at the scale you would be doing his tongue, but it is doable.

I used this technique for some tentacles, as well as guidon banners for my rough riders. This won't be great help since its a guidon, but just to show a result:


Keeping the hobby side alive!

I never forget the Dakka unit scale is binary: Units are either OP or Garbage.

The current Daemonette kit doesn't have heads with tongues, nor does the Seeker kit.

Also, I think those heads would be way too small for a Primaris-sized mini. They fit pretty well on Drukhari, which are tiny comparatively.

There's a Dark Eldar Wych head that's bald with big scars down it, that might be a good option

Sisters Of Slaughter heads from the Witch Elf kit have some heads with a long serpent tongue. They might be an option, and should be pretty easy to get.
