Does anyone know of some 3d printable 28mm LOTR helmeted elven heads that I can get and then print out?

These are about the best heads I have found when I was previously looking at alternative elf heads:

This is all I could find as well, I was hoping for some more Lord Of The Ringsy looking heads, but thanks all the same.

Does anyone know of some 3d printable 28mm LOTR helmeted elven heads that I can get and then print out?

I got some from a dealer on Etsy. Forgemaster Mini's? They are more wood elfish than high elfish, but they should work. I wanted to use them on Fireforge bodies and they are a little too small, but they should fit with LOTR guys.

Also look at Unreleased miniatures, they make high elven heads for LOTR figures.

I'm also wanting to use them on Fireforge bodies. I'll have a look at Unreleased Miniatures.

If you want heads for Fireforge the Unreleased heads are too small as well.

I just got these in, and they scale perfectly with my Fireforge bodies. I will do a mock up on Saturday and post a pic. I know they do not look Lotr....

I'm trying to learn to sculpt in 3d. So who knows....I will do them or maybe you can find someone.

I look forward to seeing a pic

So the pic on the left is a printed head from elfheads on etsy. Some of the images the head looks a little large, I think that is from the perspective of how I had the phone camera tilted. The guy on the right has a Republican Roman head with a green stuff nasal bar. Both have green stuff hair.

The elfsheads stuff is a little fragile. I actually broke part of the back helmet off as I was sculpting the hair. NOt exacly LOTR.

I have looked at Greek helmets, but to my eyes most of them have facial hair and are too recognizable. Macedonian helmets tend to have smooth faces but again, are too recognizable. I look the Roman helmet because with the nasal bar, it modifies it enough.

The reason I am going with Fireforge bodies is because I want to paint colorful designs on the surcoats. I view elven armies as bodies of individual warriors who practice their skills on their own, not as an organized military. Just my view on how elves should be. Alternatively, they do drill with one another, but since they provide their own gear everyone is an individual. Think Greek City States like Athens. I'm looking at Japanese kimonos for the designs.

While not perfect, the Oathmark heads work well with the Fireforge bodies - I have done a lot of elves this way.  I also throw in the odd Norman helmet but add the feathers from Oathmark heads.  The proprtion of Oathmark heads is near perfect for Fireforge.  Like you, I would prefer taller helms and possibly some cheek plates.

These are a couple of old pictures.  One is from almost 3 years ago, the other from a year ago but, to my shame, the painting ahs not progressed much further.





If you did decide to go down this pathway I am sure ther will be a LAF member near you who could post some surplus heads so you don't to buy a box of Elves.

And I have just seen all the errors and paint scapes on Morgoth in this picture

I might go with the Oathmark elves. Or the roman head idea, that works quite well.
