Can anybody help me identify this miniatures head? I know the body is an Officio Prefectus Commissar. Google did not help me out, the image has no informative source it seems.

It reminds of a Statuesque Miniatures one - have you got a looking straight ahead photo?

If it helps, look closely at the pistol there -- its an aftermarket part, looks like a cyborg style arm replacement/hand, so someone has been making a bits - chimera out of this. I incidentally say "kudos" cause its a nice looking one, but the kit it comes from doesn't have an actual laspistol option so its got the kit left arm (powersword) and a new head and new laspistol. It doesn't look quite right for mad robot bitz, they actually have a very limited female head selection, and their cyborg claws are not quite that style. None of them have the same hair as her.

You wouldn't have to run this as a commisar at all, it could easily be some form of inquisitor or rogue trader, perhaps?, the blade could easily be declared one of their power or even force weapons. Every significant gaurd army ends up with a pile of the start kit (one each) commisar bodies to assemble and you can only ever run 3, so finding anything they can be built out as is useful. (My astropaths, for example, are the inquisitor body with a variety of staff looking things in the left hand and a scion "space helmety" head, painted in a kaleidoscopic variety of different colors. Cause some wear their personal kit, some wear their regiment of association colors, etc.


AHA. he is correct, I found the source picture online, it is listed as a rogue trader conversion with a "statuesque minatures head".

You could run it as whatever you want really. Could even be a Planetary governor or their assistant. With the red jacket and hair style she does look a lot like the liaison (I forget her actual title) in DoW2. She could also be a personal "character" model that you use in place of a normal IG commander, like Creed, except without separate official rules. She could also easily be a "counts as" Officer of the Fleet or Master of Ordinance.

That aside, what is this about every significant IG army having a pile of the start kit commissar bodies and a limit of three? My last IG codex is the 6th edition one so I don't have up to date rules and my last significant IG purchase from GW was the Battleforce at the time.
