War Sisters Head Bits Valiant Heart Set x5

The War Sisters Head Bits Valiant Heart Set x5 arrives as five highly detailed physical resin head sculpts, cast in clean grey resin with supports already removed and surfaces prepared, ready to assemble and paint straight from the box. Four of the five heads feature ornate full-face helms adorned with fleur-de-lis motifs, flowing scrollwork, and riveted visors in a style befitting a devoted order of holy warriors. The fifth head presents an unhelmed female fighter with flowing hair, giving your squad a commanding focal point among otherwise uniformly armoured sisters. Each helm varies subtly in faceplate design, with some featuring slotted breathing vents, others a perforated lower guard, and one bearing graceful filigree across the brow, ensuring every model in your unit can carry a distinct identity.

These heads are sized for standard 28mm scale wargaming figures and are compatible with a wide range of multi-part hard plastic or resin torso kits used for power-armoured holy warrior squads. Sculpted by DakkaDakka, each piece carries the crisp, ornate character that defines their range of conversion bits. Whether you are refreshing a veteran squad or building a new unit from the ground up, the War Sisters Head Bits Valiant Heart Set gives you the variety and detail to make your force genuinely your own.

The set contains five heads total. Supplied unassembled and unpainted.

These heads reward careful, layered painting. The deep recesses of the scrollwork and visor slots make them well suited to contrast or wash techniques, while the raised fleur-de-lis and filigree details hold drybrushed highlights cleanly. The guide below covers a classic white and gold holy order scheme, but the same steps adapt easily to black, silver, or crimson armour palettes.

1. Prime

• Apply a thin, even coat of grey or white spray primer from roughly 30 cm away to preserve the fine detail in the scrollwork and visor slots.
• Check all recesses are covered and allow to cure fully before moving to the next stage.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat the helmet plates with a flat white or off-white paint, applying two thin coats for smooth, consistent coverage.
• For a darker scheme, substitute a deep black or muted crimson at this stage and adjust the subsequent highlight colours accordingly.

3. Trim and Details

• Paint the fleur-de-lis, scrollwork, and raised brow trim with a warm gold base colour such as a rich brass or antique gold tone.
• Apply a thin brown or sepia wash over the gold areas, allowing it to settle into the recesses to define the filigree and motif edges.
• Highlight the uppermost edges of the gold trim with a bright silver or pale gold to give the metalwork a polished, ceremonial look.

4. Weapons

• Pick out any visor grilles, breathing vents, and rivets with a dark metallic steel or gunmetal, keeping the brush tip fine to stay within the small openings.
• Glaze the visor interior with a deep red or amber tone to suggest a lit lens effect, then dot a small off-white highlight at one corner to imply reflected light.

5. Weathering

• For battle-worn sisters, stipple thinned brown paint at the visor rim and helm edges using a torn sponge or a stiff brush to simulate chipping and field wear.
• Draw fine lines with a dark grey pencil or thinned dark paint along armour edges to add scratches and reinforce the sense of weight and use.

6. Bases

• Once heads are attached to figures, base the miniatures to match your overall force, whether that is cathedral flagstone, scorched earth, or cobbled street textures, all of which suit the aesthetic of an armoured holy order.
