Hello EEFL,
I just bought a bunch of plaguebearer bits off of Ebay; with GW not having the individual boxes on their website for quite some time now it seems to be driving up the prices and I found this to be the cheapest way to acquire plaguebearers for my Daemon army.
The problem is they're missing heads and bases. Bases I have lots of, but I need heads.
So my plea is this: Is there anyone out there with Nurgle Daemons that has extra heads sitting around in their bits box? I need 30 of them.
I'm willing to pay and/or work out some kind of trade for them if you are interested in compensation.
Thanks!
Ryan

Might be a tough one as they aren't often repurposed bits - unusual to see a set separated from their bodies. I wonder if you could use other heads as an option. 1- Chaos warrior helms might look good with some nurgly painting/pocked metal effects. 2- Beastmen or skaven or empire heads might fit the part particularly with nurgle's pox spreading disease and changing mortals into bearers of the plague literally. 3- Chaos spawn kits come with a lot of different heads including some awesome fly heads. I've used them on hounds and ogres they may work. 4 Very old chaos mutation sprue comes with a lot of heads but that's tough to find now a days. 5 I don't remember where you are based but there are so me bits services that just do heads again you aren't likely to find specifically nurgle daemon heads but a lot of other heads might work as under point 2. 6- blue stuff casting might be an option only legal of course for personal use in most countries. You are also welcome to post up on the daemonic legion forum might have some hits though traffic is way down over the last few years. www.tapatalk.com/groups/wyrmlingx/index.php

Yeah I have a lot of spare Beastmen heads from over the years. I may also look into using marauders and chaos warrior helms.
The only issue is that plaguebearers have a single eye - that's kind of their thing and so I would need to do a bunch of conversion work; however it wouldn't be hard conversion work just more effort than I was hoping to put into them.
I'll try over there and see what comes up.

I also thought that the box comes with extra heads. You end up I think with at least one extra head (the champion) and possibly more I don't remember off the top of my head.
I was hoping that others have kept those extras and have them laying around.

Helms hide a lot of sins. You could bluestuff/green stuff cast the central eye sculpt pretty easily if you had to convert alot of heads at once.

Didn't think of the single eye thing but thought straight away of zombies. Then of skeletons. Its easy to get hold of skulls so could you use a skull as a base and green stuff the detail you require onto that? At the very least you'll have something solid from which to work from.

Actually the new skull box has some great daemonic skulls in it.
