-How big is it compared to a space marine? Isn't it just the size of the interred space marine? Or would it be too huge as the fellow noobs <we are all new to the game> keep saying.
-I was wanting to buy the head portion of the venerable Dreadnought of the spacewolves chapter so I could kit bash the wolf skull helm for a wolf preist I want for my army.
-Sure I could just get a normal skull helm or go with the wolf helm from the upgrade sprue and have something easily made. But that's not as fun. I could just get Ulrik the slayer so I can chop off that helmet as a last resort. My group just wants me to get the old man model. Since its easy. But they want everything to be done easily.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770463/10322065.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770463/10322065.page GMT kitbashing topic: the head/helmet of the venerable dreadnought SW kit, but the Ven Dread heads work fine for normal marines. They might be a tad big, but they are more heavily armored than most helmets, so it fits.

I really need to drink my coffee before I reply. How the normal Ven Dread heads fit is not very useful information, as you are asking about a very specific head. I blame the similarity in kit names and undercaffination.

Spoiler:

Although the heads are the same size, there appears to be no rear to them and would require significant work to get them to fit on a SM body.

The skull one in particular has the lower jaw mounted to a separate plastic piece, whilst the upper is identical to all the other wolf skulls.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770463/10323005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770463/10323005.page GMT kitbashing topic: the head/helmet of the venerable dreadnought http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770463/10323045.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770463/10323045.page GMT kitbashing topic: the head/helmet of the venerable dreadnought

To me the back of the skull dont matter its guna be mostly hidden for the most part.


Here is the bit in question. Being plastic it shouldn't be too hard to mod, but I suspect the lower part is hollow underneath which may make it a little more difficult. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770463/10323065.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770463/10323065.page GMT kitbashing topic: the head/helmet of the venerable dreadnought http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770463/10323324.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770463/10323324.page GMT
