hey guys, I'm working on my take on space wolves... still, and i'm finally gotten to the grey hunter squads, I'm still getting the shopping list together and have already hit a snag. helmets.
I'm looking for helmets with something like the 1st, 2nd, and 4th helmets here, but i'm looking for a set that doesn't show any head (as in no flesh).

Of course if anyone knows whether maxmini allows you to order just the certain helmets in a set in multiples of 5 that'd work too.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

You could easily file out or GS over the facial features and use all of those helms. They might be a bit small for SM. I would and have used the steam knight heads from Maxmini because they completely rule.

I totally agree, but I'm going for a corrupted greek veteran motif, and those helmets work, I'm just not so sure about my green stuff skills

I just found this sprue, and am thinking of just adding the brush part to my space marine helmet

Years ago I saw someone use heads from Greek Historical minis. Even 6-8 years ago the entire donor mini was less than 1/4 the cost of the plastic marines.

For those who're interested I'm using
warriors of chaos capes
http://www.thewarstore.com/product27438.html
with GW alpha legion, and scibor miniatures celtic shoulder pads

GW's site's down right now, but they're the specialty pewter ones with a roaring dragon/lizard head on'em
I'm then gonna scatter some space wolf totems and skulls with maxmini bionic lims here and there
