I like the movie Zardoz (Yeah, yeah, i've heard it before.) and just can't stop thinking a 6-8" high zardoz head would make an awesome piece of 40k terrain if it were cheap enough. Anyone else ever have this thought? Even tho the emperor is usually shows as not having a beard some people might make this as an effigy of him.
I think there are a few small and very OP zardoz head models available.
If you don't know the movie zardoz, here's a look at what i'm talking about. (BTW, "Zardoz" has a real and clever meaning, it's actually pretty surprising when you see what it means. Don't spoil it tho, it's something people should watch the movie to get.)

Goddamn if that isn't one of the most balls-out movie openings of all time. It's not a great movie, but it's a hell of an ambitious one. I like it too. The ending sequence stuck with me for a long time as well.
To make the head I think I'd carve it out of styrofoam first, and then use clay or plaster to finish it. A good art or craft supply store ought to have styrofoam blocks for carving. A hardware store should have spray foam insulation that you can spray and then carve to form (although I haven't tried it myself).

Fixed that for you. Zardoz is insanity captured on celluloid. I watched it not knowing what it was about only go on the internet to find out more and was left with even more questions/madness the more I learned.

Funny story - I was home sick from school one day and WAY WAY WAY too young to see this movie, but my poor over-worked single mom just saw “Sean Connery” and “sci-fi” and sat me down to watch it by myself. After that, I was easily triggered by the sight of Sean Connery until I turned about 20
Also - I could really get down with a table of those heads. That’s going to be my next terrain project. Awesome idea! If you have even minor sculpting ability, I recommend Super Sculpey for something like this.

Edit: I just googled ablutions and apparently it does not including dropping a duece. I should have looked it up early sorry for any confusion. - Baldsmug

"Kids these days...
... I invented the 6th Ed meta back in 3rd ed.
Wait, what were we talking about again? Did I ever tell you about the time I gave you five bees for a quarter? That's what you'd say in those days, "give me five bees for a quarter", is what you'd say in those days. And you'd go down to the D&D shop, with an onion in your belt, 'cause that was the style of the time. So there I was in the D&D shop..."
