'Empty' Blood Bowl helmets wanted

Post by BillyDee »

Not really expecting much, but does anyone know of any miniature suppliers that make empty Blood Bowl style helmets? (or Gridiron helmets of appropriate scale)
Would be soooooo much easier than having to carve out someone's head...

Well, I know of some BB related heads but empty helmets? No.

From experience the skeleton ones are pretty easy to drill out with a 3mm bit and then neaten up with a knife.

How big are those skeleton heads? Are they like 2ed helmet size, or would they fit GW plastic skeletons?

They fit fine with a bit of trimming of the sides, top and back of the skull. Once in the helmet you cannot tell that it's not part of the same model.

Assuming you mean the current skeleton kit, that is. Older ones have massive skulls which I wouldn't see fitting.
