    Not sure if you have already filmed the others but an untapped potential of usable heads for marines is actually age of sigmar, I got the idea from white dwarf but its actually clever they have alot of long hair models that might make your job easier (Especially if you look in the choas side) Love the model though!

    This is amazing!! The hair, tabard, and chest fitting are all amazing conversion works, and that freehand is envious. My only true critique would be the face. I think the reikland settled too much in the cheeks, making him look guant faced and a little grizzled, as opposed to a beautiful warrior-artist

    A good head for Emperor's Children is the long haired head from the ETB Chaos Warrior's kit, in fact as much as I hate those bare heads for Chaos Warriors, I picture them being more bearded, a lot of them make great heads for traitor guardsmen or cultists, heads like the one with the lips shriveled back especially, but really any of the heads would work, and to be honest I find most of the traitor guard heads to be a bit lackluster, most of them just look like normal disheveled Guard.
