They are a great fit, and look nice. Here is a quick shot of 5 I have put together. Not as detailed as what I would like, but they will do just fine.

Looks like the scale is spot-on. Thank you, I'm sure a lot of people are on the lookout for plentiful, affordable Imperial Guard heads.

They actually work very well. Good work.

I will try and get some painted up and posted.

I do have one problem with them though. On this series of head there is a bandaged up head. One is nice, but the problem is there are only 2 variations of the sprue. so on over half of the sprues I received I had a wounded head, which in my pack came out to be 4 out of 20. Not bad, but I hate to waste a little head

The post on the bottom of the head is also a little big, and you have to do a bit of trimming to get them to fit properly, but the do look good once you work it all out. A little green stuff is needed to fill in some gaps when you turn the head to the side on some of the models.

But it is a lot easier than sculpting berets!

One of the heads also has a good British mustache, which is great. Not many of those on models.

At 20 to the pack it's a good deal and a cheap way to add some character to your units.

Save them for an all wounded suicide squad?

Anyway glad to see they work.  Does anyone have pictures of the zombie heads they did?

Nice, I had the same idea but with SM Scout bodies for carapace armoured Guardsmen to add to these guys:



These are metal SM Scouts with plastic Storm Trooper heads (my veterans platoon) but plastic SM Scouts and West Wind Para heads will be ten times easier to make.

This is an important observation, and one that prospective buyers need to be aware of. In terms of bang-for-buck it might be worth it to calculate the cost for the 16 "regular" heads in the pack for $X each and consider the bandaged ones extras since you're likely not going to be able to use them all. So instead of "a good deal for 20 heads", you're really getting "an average deal for 16"

Why do I suddenly have the desire to convert up a Warzone Imperial-themed IG army for 40K?

Those are the closest thing to updated Blood Berets I've seen. Dig it!

Very nice...

Thanks guys, it's unintentional though they're supposed to be 'space' paras originally painted to oppose my mate's 'space' Royal Marines Commandos.
