Subject: Show me your head-swapped new Cadian Shocktroops!
I recently ordered some of the new Cadian Shocktroops but I'm trying to collect an exhaustive, or at least near exhaustive, list of what 3rd party manufacturer's heads actually fit.
I'm hoping this catches the eyes of those of you who made some cool regiments for yourself with the new Cadians and found 3rd party heads that works.
So far all I know is:
- Anvil Industry masked/covered face heads work perfectly
- Victoria Miniatures heads work perfectly
- Bolt Action heads work perfectly, surprisingly
I'm ideally hoping to not only see your cool conversions but also find out if the following manufacturer's work (Both maskless and covered heads):
- Mad Robot Miniatures
- Reptilian Overlords
- Puppets War
- Pig Iron
- Wargames Atlantic
etc etc
Also, unless you actually physically have the 3rd party head on a new Cadian and a picture to show, please don't start throwing in "I think X's heads should work" and "I heard from a Reddit thread that X's heads are probably good." That kind of hearsay not only isn't helpful, but guesstimating recommendations leads to shrunken head figures or bobblehead ones. Plus, frankly, I've trawled through threads on a bunch of different platforms only hearing that kind of thing and then seeing the reverse claim, so it only adds confusion and nothing valuable.
My goal here is not only inspiration for headswap conversions, but also to see exactly how different 3rd party heads actually look like on the new Cadian shocktroops.
To kickoff, since mine are in the mail, I at least know what a few manufacturer's look like already and you may find it helpful yourself:

Using spamming as a guide, I'm seeking clarity on 3rd party heads for the new Cadian Shocktroops. Heads from Anvil Industry, Victoria Miniatures, and Bolt Action are confirmed fits. If anyone has firsthand experience or photos of other manufacturers like Mad Robot Miniatures, Reptilian Overlords, Puppets War, Pig Iron, or Wargames Atlantic on the Cadian models, please share. Let's ensure accurate information and avoid speculation for precise conversions.
