So, I got the Terminator Captain from store opening. I really like the model besides two points:

1. bare shoulder pad without chapter marking
2. head without helmet.

Whereas I'm going to live with the first (trying some free hand painting), I absolutely can't stand the second. So I'm intending to replace the head with a helmeted one...

Anyone got a good suggestion for a (seperate) terminator helmet which is adequately ornated for a terminator captain?

In all honesty i dont think there is much choice in the way of terminator helmets.

I would go with a standard one and use some green stuff to add more character or paint some decals on it to make it stand out

Many thanks for the input Sagentus... I'm not that particular good in working with green stuff and I would like to have an "above standard" result... At least to my (average) standards. So I'm a bit hesitant to bling a helmet myself...

Hmmm... I identified two different Terminator helmets beside the standard one.

1. From the Blood Angels kit (with a huge occular)
2. The sergeant helmet from the regular kit

Besides that I would currently consider one of the helmets from the centurians, the head from the Blood Angels with respirator or one of the heavily cabled one from the Grey Knights (even though the last two ones are more or less bareheaded)...

I was hoping there might be another choices from FW or 3rd parties which might help... (--> going for Ultramarines... I know, I know)...

I don't know what the Space Marine captain kit is like to assemble, but if it lacks the normal terminator head, you can put damn near any helmet or head in there with a bit of work.

I had a mechanicus head slapped into a Terminator once. Looks pretty interesting.

You can also fit Grey Knight helmets in there without much problem at all, I was doing that for my Deathwing conversions..

Yeah I agree with this, a grey knight helmet would look really cool.

I've always rather liked the normal terminator heads. They are pretty iconic. However if you are looking for something a bit moreesoteric then the terminator front plates look pretty good with a more contemporary feeling visor as well I think.
