this is a hard one to give advice on. masks can be very difficult to apply since a mask (Head) model needs to be hollowed to fit a face or the face needs to be removed to accomidate for the mask. either way there is a lot of work on every model. greenstuff sculpting would be a must. I would imagine necron and blood letter heads to be too small as a dwarf head is already bigger than them. best advice might be to try converting one from beginning to end to see if you like the results.
also, there is the skull marauder shoulder pad bit that many people have used for chaos dwarf masks. have you seen that one yet?

I have them, they are going to be where I start for helmets.
I didn't think that they would be too small, I had thought maybe too big. That would have been a disappointing surprise. I appreciate you sparing me that.
So who else has scary heads that would be mask sized for dwarfs? I am not sold on the Warriors of Chaos helmets, they don't look right to me. Never seen on set right on the body or jive with the beards.
Side note to the Marauder shoulder bits - I really like the idea of using the 1-spiked shoulder as a face mask too. I think it would look savage for head butting. But there are no eyeholes. Should I do it anyways? Let my infantry see through their helmets with "magic?"

i know you could have just looked up how the models looked on the showcase section but i though i could just provide one here here
or you can use the chaos knight shoulder pads
or you can make a cone mask thing that i did because i ran out of shoulder pads
I’m not sold at all about making mask with face. They would look too much like … well … faces. I would say it’s better to do it with green stuff, you’ll be able to border the eyes nicely so it really looks like a mask. As for necrons head, they are definitely too small. I’m not sure about the other one you named.
Oooooooh - then I have a friend who is going to cheese when he finds that out.
I am going to play it safe for now and just fiddle faddle with the marauder shoulders. I need to find an open bin of face bits and test them out like Legos. I think the idea has potential, but the risks from size variation are going to stall the application for now.
