Being involved in a major court case seemed to sideline our new releases recently. I won't go into detail, but much of the stress has definitely been lessened lately.

We had numerous projects in the works, and we have quite a few kits done and waiting for release. I have made a rule to not show products until I have painted pictures of them. This is the first one for the year (one of many).

The "Spartan Heads compatible with Space Marines" (http://chapterhousestudios.com/webshop/component/virtuemart/?page=shop.product_details&category_id=16&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=112) consist of a sprue of 5 pewter heads. Each head is different and this set sells for $5.50.

I have a few more products I will be showing next week as soon as the paint jobs are done. Some parts compatible with Space Marine troop and vehicle models, Imperial Guard weapons and conversion kits as well a stand alone proxy for an Eldar unit.

I also wanted to throw a job opening out there, I am looking for a professional level commission painter that can work with a deadline and has great references. For some reason it has been near impossible for me to find a painter that is highly skilled as well as dependable and responsible. Having unpainted products is one of my biggest delays to releasing new bits and models. Please email [email protected] if interested in the position, preference for U.S.A. applicants.

Shouldn't you be calling them "Spartan Heads compatable with 40mm Future Soldiers" :P (Just messin' wit you...)

Wonderful models, though i'm sure the one 2nd from left looks like the Decepticon Emblem....

Look forward to seeing the Eldar goodness as well

Hellllloooo Custodes.

Not to be super picky, but you realize the Custodes don't/didn't have crests like these, yes?

From every written or illustrated depiction, they're much more like the High Elf topknot/mane thing.

Yeah, the Custodes have tall, conical helms with a topknot.

These immediately make me think Ultramarines (honour guard or company command squad, perhaps?)...and make me really want to start a smurf army when I have the cash.

I'll go with what I can get. Besides, they're close matches to what a friend of mine has - he bought a few of Scibor's big "Sci-fi Spartans" for some Custodes, so these would match that pretty well for basic troopers.

I think these would look pretty cool as alternate Sanguinary Guard heads. My only concern would be that the crests would interfere with the jump packs.

Still, it would be fun to launch an assault while screaming loudly about Sparta.

The borders on panels is making me think more Chaos than Imperial- maybe World Eaters?

Curses, and here I thought I was done buying more bits for my army. Now I'll have guys smattered with angel motifs, guys with lizardhide, guys with Greco-Roman Shields, and now guys with Spartan helmet crests.

Awesome, just what my emo space vampires needed! Now all they need to do is lather each other up in oil before they go off to battle! :P

I was ready to buy a bunch when I saw the first pictures.

After seeing them from the side.....not so much. What is up with those thrust-forward jaws? And the proportions on the third one is simply awful.

Perhaps they will look better when actually used with a marine body.

I rather like that myself, they look much more likely to deflect missiles than the snub nosed MK VI helmets and whatnot. They remind me of Italo- Corinthian helmets:

Except, you know, prettier.
