I was thinking of using Skaven Plague Monk bodies for GK henchmen. So I want to slap a human looking head on top. Which would be more appropriate, a 'Space Marine' sized head, or a 'Imperial Guardsmen' sized head?

I know Skaven are a bit short, but they are also pretty stocky...

Skaven are short and stooped so you'll want to use a human head and not a SM head.

The only heads you can really use are human heads. Space Marines are supposed to be massive in 40k fluff, so any of their heads would probably be too big.

I figured since the bodies were so bulky a human guardsman sized head might look too small.

This may just be something I have to buy the bits for and test out for myself.

I´ve done something similar, Catachan heads worked,

Awesome Liche, thanks for the info!!! That helps. Now I am going to get greedy. Do you have any pics? lol

lol, a fair question but unfortunately I don´t. I used them to represent mutants in a friend´s Dark Heresy campaign, and they worked great. It does look a little ridiculous, but that´s what I was going for. If you´re going for a more anatomically precise look you may need to use some GS. But my logic is 40k is the galaxy of ridiculousness
