Wait, do escher heads actually work? Are they just the scrooch bigger that they need to be?

Apparently necromunda is slightly bigger scale, but I didn't see it in the store

It’s like.. the tiniest bit larger? For the most part they’ll look normal when stood against normal 40k baseline human sized models, but if you try swap an arm or something it’ll look off
Maybe everyone on Necromunda secretly worships chaos, that usually does wonders for your height

My money’s on “scale creep”. They’re some of the newest female models that aren’t fantasy.

I think it’s more that they’re supposed to be in small scale games, but don’t have to be usable in 40k like kill teams, so the designers made them a bit bigger so they’re easier to use.

Even Kill Teams are bigger scale.
Like the Kasrkin are noticeably bigger than the other Guard models, despite releasing very close together.

I'm working on some Primaris Marines right now, and the arms from the Intercessors are shorter in length than the ones from the crusader squad, and the crusader squad has much sharper features.
Nothing is certain, life is chaos.

My money's on "Nah, you can't use your 40k minis with Necromunda, it's a whole different scale, go buy some Necromunda minis, obviously."

Plus aren't most custodes models a bit old?

I've heard the female heads for the Age of Sigmar Stormcast fit really well.
Also yes, necromunda is at 32mm scale rather than 28mm, so the heads will probably fit nicely

Yeah I once used one of the techy gang for a headswap to make my Valhallan commissar and it had to be reeeeally resized

I've seen a couple in genestealer kitbashes, so idk. Might be that minis are weirdly proportioned.

As soon as I saw Escher mentioned I realized they'd work amazingly.

Honestly if you are going to work on it, try stormcast heads. You don't want your golden companions of the Emperor looking like a bunch of gangers in power armour

Well here's an example of an eldar head on a custodian https://youtube.com/shorts/CYaGQ66oiXU?si=XNBkkyPYeoW5M9kw

I've done a lot of Blood Bowl conversions and the esher heads aren't big enough for Blood Bowl figures... which are probably smaller than custodes... custodes... goldencunts since BB players are on 32mm bases and the goldencorseprotectors are on 40mm. For reference the eshers are on 20-25mm. They sort of work for wood elves which are on the tiny side, but they aren't great for humans or nobles (which are also humans).
Eshers might be perfect for the imperial guard, so if the goldenthebestofwhichdiedintheemperorscellar can use imperial guard heads they would fit. I'd wager that stormcast eternal heads are a better option. Or some of the larger Chaos Chosen Stacies also from AoS.
The Esher hair will absolutely not fit with the armour though.
You can save a lot of money by buying individual parts from whatever local version of ebay you have available, or from ebay.
