Bitz Review: NEW Pig Iron Productions Unhooded Feral Heads

Hello all! I recently came into possession of the new Unhooded Feral Heads sprue from Pig Iron Productions, I thought that everyone would appreciate seeing the sprue as it arrived, compared to some heads from the WH40K range & an older Pig Iron head, and finally with the head sitting proudly atop some shoulders (I apologise in advance for the crappiness of the traitor guardsman in advance, it was a pure bitz-box build).


So this is the sprue as it came in the mail, excellent quality with very little flashing and I got a decent first impression looking at the faces.


Here are four heads next to each other, from left to right: Imperial Guard Vox Caster, Pig Iron Unhooded Feral, Catachan Jungle Fighter & Pig Iron Rebe. The Unhooded feral is roughly equivalent in size to the guardsmen, whereas the older Pig Iron design appears a little smaller.


This is the new Feral head atop a rebel guardsman, the proportions look somewhere between perfect and excellent.


Another picture of the Traitor Guardsman from another angle, please ignore the mould lines.

Overall, this is a definate 9/10 purchase, if you're running traitor guard I would highly recommend checking out some of Pig Iron's head range: the quality is excellent and at 20p a head they're good value for money too.

ADDENDUM GRIPE: Games Workshop charge you £5 for 10 heads - that makes the Pig Iron ones over 200% cheaper & I can't think of an excuse for this.
