I recently came across some resin vostroyan heads as part of a listing that I won on eBay. I’m trying to find out who produced them, as they were never produced by GW.

I’ve checked Anvil Industries and have ruled them out, does anybody know of any other companies who produce not-Vostroyan heads?

Can we get a pic? I might know who made them, but before jumping to conclusions I would like to see them.

These?

To be honest, the first ones look like Valhallans not Vostroyans, and the second look like SW. They are nice heads though.

Madrobot might also be in the run:

The madrobot ones are the best match for proper Vossie heads IMO, BUT they are too tall, if you don't mind the extra effort i recommend trimming them shorter, cut the top piece off the trimmed off section, reattach it to the head and then use greenstuff to blend it back together.

Maybe also these?

And also: you might look around a bit on Victrix.

60 dudes with fitting heads for 25 pound. Could well be cheaper than getting separate heads.

Take a look at the Les Grognards kit from Wargames Atlantic, particularly their bearskin heads.
They come with and without gasmasks
I have a kit, it's pretty solid

First post, can't post the link

I was just looking at those yesterday! I'm thinking of getting one of Grognards and Raumjäger each. Two 10 man guard squads with four extras for special weapons and/or command squads in each box for the price of one Cadian Shock Troops from GW and a ton more options/extra bits? Count me in on that! It's just too bad those boxes don't have any female options. Luckily mixing with Anvil Industry and Victoria Minis can provide the much needed gender diversity for my army. I've already decided mine will be a ragtag mixing of a number of different worlds thrown together as an explanation for having so many different troops uniforms.
