Does anyone know of any GW kit or 3rd party bits which would work for a cowled orc head (cloth, chainmail or scale mail, just not a standard helmet or bare) short of greenstuffing my own? I'm looking at the potential for a heavy Orc Arrer Boyz/bandit theme'd Orc army and it's wholly unfeasable to buy direct to get Arrer Boyz/Ruglud's Armoured Orcs for an entire army.

I remember the 2nd edition ork models had a lot more head gear, including something somewhat representative of a cowl:



And again:



My, how far we've come.

But other than digging through eBay trying to find some old 2nd edition models, I think your best, easiest, cheapest, and least annoying bet would be green stuff.

Kromlech has a large assortment of orc heads if you wanna take a look about

Already looked before raising the thread and they don't seem to quite hit the mark. You got helmets, beanies, hats, caps, tricorns, bicorns and ushankas but no cowls :(
