I'm looking for alternative head bits for my SoB, going for a slightly different "feel" to them

I'm looking for longer hair heads, ponytail-style haircuts, but not the horrid "clean shave and ponytail" that the SoS has, but actually "pretty" looking hair.


Eschar gang is...way too messy to be a decent SoB
Daughters of Khaine have some really nice flowing hair heads, but its a bit on the excessive size for SoB models (plus the face aint very human) (plus, the bits market is hardly reliable)

Also found these
http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/p/9239907/sma352-heroic-scale-female-heads-small-2.html
But its mostly short hair as well

So, anyone knows of a place to reliably get such head bitz?

can neither confirm nor deny I lost track of what I've got right now.

Is this truly the only source people know?

I was hoping for something a bit more..."fluffy"
Like, a bit of them are great, but only a handful.
(plus the screaming faces are almost impressively horrid XD)

Could try: https://victoriaminiatures.com/collections/heads/products/bald-female-heads-x12 (ignore that it says "bald" on the link. That's a different listing they have. I've noticed a number of similar clerical errors on their site, but the minis themselves look great.)
I'm personally not a fan of these hair styles, but you might find they fit your vision: https://wargameexclusive.com/shop/battle-sisters/emperor-sisters-heads-set-5u/
You might like one of these: https://anvilindustry.co.uk/female-hair-heads / https://anvilindustry.co.uk/bob-haircut-heads / https://anvilindustry.co.uk/mixed-female-hair-styles-with-gasmasks

That's all I've got off the top of my head. Anvil Industry also has hooded versions of those if you want to try a hooded look.

Wasn't there a Chinese guy who got some Anime heads from a place called KingdomDeath? Maybe those are "pretty" enough for you?

No problem. I have a vast knowledge of random things that are usually useless, typically gained while poking around for new and interesting things, so anytime I can bring those tidbits to bear and help someone I enjoy doing so. Also, I like to support good artists/modelers even if only by bringing attention to them.

Hmmm, I took a look and those do look good too. Just be careful to make sure you're looking at their Heroic scale heads as they also do Fine and Pulp scales. http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/c/4535598/1/heroic-scale-accessories.html

Yeah, I mentioned the only heads with hair they have and I agree, the hairstyle is not very appealing. At least in my opinion.

The Statuesque miniature heads are better IMO, but other than the techno-roiders heads, they are a bit too fancy/fashionable for my concept of combat nuns. A simple, easily maintained hairstyle with no frippery or concession to the sin of Vanity. Bald or military buzz cut makes sense. If I ever get SoB (hoping they'll put out a Kill Team box), the classic pageboy is fine by me. But this is BoomWolf's project, not mine.
