SHORT VERSION: Do the Militia heads from Pig Iron's Kolony line fit onto the bodies of Elysian sentinel pilots? If not, should they serve well to replace the heads in the normal sentinel kit?
Good evening folks I have just a few quick questions to see if anyone can help me with this latest modeling query I have.
I am trying to build a drop troops list using my old (and sizable) collection of steel legion miniatures. So far I have all the infantry, missile teams, and valkyries I need. I've given up on finding an appropriate replacement for the tauros for now and am instead concentrating on drop sentinels.
Unfortunately I have hit a snag. As I don't want people to confuse these with armored sentinels (which are now represented with the closed or armored top add ons) I'm wanting to include the pilots. Plus I've found that the elysian sentinel from FW is only about four more dollars than a brand new sentinel kit. However I would like the pilot inside to at least look like he has similar equipment to my regular infantry.
So I'm eying the militia heads from Pig Iron Production's Kolony line. The rebel heads serverd me well on some cadian models I turned into roughriders and so I know they'll fit to those types of miniatures. However, does anyone have experience with Forgeworld elysians, and can you tell me if the Pig Iron heads will not look to out of place on the pilot's body?
Honestly, I've got parts to make the weapon options plus some old busted up sentinels I could repair so I don't NEED the FW sentinels, but then they'd not have the various extra bits the drop sentinel has that changes its appearance compared to its cousins. So...yeah.
Oh and if you're wondering why I don't use the rebel heads I've already used for my roughriders. It's because I plan to do more savlar chem dogs as normal infantry to back up my Vostroyan based mechanized company.
