Alternative heads for Sisters of Avelorn

#1 Post by Lithlandis Stormcrow »

Greetings!

I am currently working on building up my Sisters of Avelorn unit, which I have been avoiding because I don't really fancy their heads to begin with and I feel they don't really match the Nagarythe theme I want for the Army. As such come here with a quick request for alternative heads to fit into my sisters. I have been considering some female Dark Elf heads (The Scourge runner and Beastmaster ones, for example) but I'd like to know if there are more out there.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe a daft question but have you considered using the helmeted Shadow Warrior heads? Seredain did this and they looked good.

I have considered it but I am already going to use them for my spearelf blocks, and I don't want to saturate the army with them.

I hope no-one minds me bumping this topic, but...

Hello Lithlandis! I've been looking at headswaps for elves myself, lately. I think dark elf heads would fit well. Perhaps also heads from wood elf eternal guard, if you trimmed that huge crest down.
Something I was pleasantly surprised by are the heroic scale heads from Statuesque Miniatures:

They match the size and proportions of Sisters heads pretty well. The ears just might need pointing and a new hairdo sculpted if the ones available don't look elfy enough. Personally I'm filing down the nose and filing in the cheeks just a little, too, but that's splitting hairs.

Cloaked heads are always a smart looking option, usually stolen from our sylvan friends :)
