Some quick n' dirty shotgun scouts...

These really turned out well! Great job.

Look great, the scion heads really go well with scout! Only point of critique: the shoulder pad of the scion power fist does stick out a bit. Other than that, great job!

Oh, and I won't comment the paint job. Looking superb as always!

Yes, way better than potato head scouts.

Oh dear, I'd put the temptation of a small scout army to bed a while back and now this... this is really re-igniting the urge!

The headswap is a very nice touch indeed!

As others have mentioned already, painting is top notch as always!

Thanks guys!

The scout models are showing their age in terms of soft detail but upgrading some bits from new kits helps a lot I think!

Yeah it bothers me a bit now too! When I was building them I wasn’t too bothered but now I wish I’d swapped the shoulder for a scout one - it would have been so quick and easy!

I'm sorry, I know that feeling. Had the same thing happen to me once where someone mentioned something I can't unsee anymore (If one's interested, it was the trees in Witcher 3. A friend mentioned how they ALWAYS are fast moving as if it was windy as feth, yet everything else is not bothered Still a brilliant game though). But I felt I would mention it (:

Edit: Typo plus mentioning that W3 is rad

Those are very funky

What are the head, was wanting helmets for my scouts and I really like the look that you have here.

They are from the Tempestus Scions kit

Great work as always - and yes the heads are a great replacement.

Best looking scouts I've seen. I too used scion heads on scout bodies, they look so much better.

Great easy and smooth conversion. Wish I would have thought of that.

Those Scouts are looking very nice and as others mentioned before, these outdated molds REALLY benefit greatly from the headswap.

I used the same Scion heads on my Blood Angels scouts. Infinitely better looking end result. These look amazing, just like all of your Raptors.

Thanks for sharing. Take it easy.
