The first one is my pick also. But they all look great so as its your army, you should pick the one you like best.

I follow the flow and vote A. He has a menacing and "need to sleep" feel about, like " I kicked too many a***s lately!"

Great looking faces. I'm impressed. They all look good imho - and I got a reason to pick each of them... But if its help you want then I'll stick with the others and vote A. Much easier that way.

Btw, did D have too much steroids? There is something very odd about having the first thing you see in the morning be a mini staring right back at you.

edit:

Had another look and there really is something there. It shows how much the positioning of a head means to a mini. Or is it only me?

a b or e

I think that all of those heads all look nice on him, except the one that makes it look like he has a moustache growing out of his nose!
However if I had to pick, I'd say the top three are 1-E, 2-A and 3- C & D tied. Any of these heads will look awesome on him! Great work man.

Hmmm, seems like the most popular is A for the head or E, I'm not really a fan of the head with a mustache and while I like the deathwatch head and the paint is probably the best one, the mouth kinda gives me a blow up doll vibe?.... :-) I really need to buy a new brush tomorrow and re do those eyes! my fine brush developed a distinct bend even though I stored them correctly and everything! grrr it kinda made it very hard to do, and i not surprisingly ended up with a bit of 0_0 going on! never mind at least their (and the master) are nearly done now, another quick go with a new brush and they'll be all good.

oh, and Eggy, flash is fixed now too, I found a couple of bits that needed touching up as i was painting so it's much better now :-)

I'd vote E, closely followed by A, then B, C and D.

The paint job seems to let B down (only compared to the others!) - and I do like the match of hair colour to the back thingy (sorry, I play Orks ) But I think I have something against the bowl cuts - hence E.

D is really strange looking - perhaps just the angle?

A or E. Where do you find all of those cool heads??

I like B, just because he has an enormous mustache

My vote would be for Head E, to me it has a more veteran feel to it while still keeping the head clean (and every one knows I love clean)

After much grinding of teeth and swapping of heads in and out I have decided on..... either A or E :-) i'm still deciding!

I'll take another pic of each head in the armour again and pop them up later, maybe a new pic may be more conclusive?

@Arakasi: head D was the best paint imo, but it's the a metal head and is the one I thought has a 'blow up doll' mouth! it's just a tad to big.

@Gits: hey dude, I tried to get a collection of them as I plan on having a lot of bare heads in my force, I got the metal deathwatch head and I shaved some silly bits off some sw heads, I need to keep practicing again as it's been so long since i did faces! i've got my sarge's head to use as a benchmark, i'll chuck a couple of the ones I've just done out as i really aren't happy with them! :-( but at least i've got 2 or 3 to use, you don't have any different heads in your bits i may not have seen before do you?

They all look fantastic NF... you've really got a talent for painting them.

Yeah, a front shot with a few more side-angle ones may make this easier.

A or e. c looks like he smelled a bad fart from the expression on his face, lol

lol, look what you made me do:




Actually, most of them look like they're reacting to a fart now that you mention it...

Gotta be C for me man!

LOL, Ailaros! nicely played sir! well you'll be happy to know 'fart head' has been assigned armour and now resides in tactical squad 'cenobite' where he looks much better! but firstly I snapped a couple more of those heads A & E in the master's armour, I think I've decided on a winner but we'll just see one last time.

First it's the gerard Butler, kick ass and take numbers I got a hangover head!




next up it's the jason statham i'll use a bat and me fists I ain't asking for trouble but I'll bloody well finish it! head!




So that's the candidates my friends, everyone else shall be given armour and a squad to join, here's a couple of mock ups I may use depending on the results...



AAAaaaaaaand just a little something I'm going to work on I was given a busted up land speeder by a Pyriel and i couldn't save it so i wanted to terrain it up a bit! so this is the start of the concept, I wanted it to appear as if it's hit the ground and ploughed into the ground killing the pilot while the gunner, even with a snapped arm tries to arm a grenade to kill anyone who gets close! FOR THE EMPEROR!





Oh and here's 'fart head' in new armour.... much better don't you think?


Alright then everyone, that's me for the night! more soon.....

Nerdfest09

Yeah, the first one. The mutton chops head looks better on the other LC body.

Done! i went with head 'A' looks the grittiest in my mind, I have a bunch more bare heads to do over the next week or two for the rest of the force, I need a couple more for the termies and tac squads! i'll as usual post up some pics when i get 'em done! :-)

Thanks everyone for your input with this! I appreciate the time you take to pop in and say Hi!

NF09

Locing the progress Damo, head A is perfect! Talk soon man.

Love them all, but Its A for me.

Thanks Norn King, i did end up going with head A it looks pretty good all tucked up in his armour, conveys a suitably p'd off visage when he goes feral on some enemies!

So, the vents on SM backpacks are solely designed to filter genetically-engineered, post-human, superfarts out of the suit?

Really nice, you are an ace when it comes to bare heads!

Also, where the heck is the aribag in that speeder that plowes through cork?
lol

lol, you know I have got to do that now! what an awesome idea, i've already got some ideas how to do it too......

Last mistake you´ll ever do *mwahaha*
So you wanna do this?



I SO dare you...

Oh man Pyriel.... that little movie is hilarious!! I don't remember seeing that episode before.

LOL, You betcha I'll try and do that! that's priceless! where the hell do you find that clip so damn quickly!

Oh I have my means...plus a 200mbit internet hard line at home usually helps

I know, I know, your internet speed fluctuates wildly depending on how fast the little stream outside turns the electricity generating wheel but at least you have something nice to look forward to

The Gits residence runs on hamster power!! Got several dozen of the little buggers chained to electricity generating exercise wheels.
