as for eyes I would simply add small balls of greenstuff on short wires...
then, when it all cures I would cover it with GS and sculpt details like eyelids.

as for two heads, I can see no better option than using two heads. And I don't really know which heads you would like to use. It all depends on what you have or what you like...

can't use wire: it's too soft...
I'm worried that eye-stalks made of pins will look fat too unnatural.

I will probably use cadian / catachan heads:
plastic = easy to convert...
moreover some time aro I converted underhive scum armed with 2 guns so now I have to add the second head and transform bolt pictols into autopistols...
DAMN!!! WHY SCAVVIES DON'T HAVE THE ACCESS TO BOLT WEAPONS???

what kind of wire do you use? I meant paper clips.. The smaller ones are pretty thin but not very soft...

because thet're not SM (scavvie marines )

Agreed with Mahon - you could easily find thin, yet hard wire. The some putty to look it organic and make eyeballs.
As for heads - i can't see any other solution apart from taking two heads of appropriate size and fitting those using some putty.

Too bad some of the older Citadel Miniatures aren't available anymore as they had some pretty good models that could easily be converted into Mutants.

I made some of mine out of Vampire Count Ghouls. Should fit well into a Scavvy gang...

I'll try paper clips... although they are thick compared to pins
anyway: thanx for suggestions, I'll post picture of monster I'll create

I've been thinking about it for a few days now, so finally decided to ask
we've started new campaign and as usually I fielded as numerous scavvy gang as I could: lots of cannon fodder
but since I started converting scavvy mutants (2-headed guy last night, winged one - next in the queue) I started considering if fielding less scavvys but carring better equipment (or better: ANY quipment ) is good idea...
here are some pros and cons:
*more scavvys
- I test bottle out test later
- I can forage more credits
- I always have some gangers to choose when I'm forced to cannibalize
- generate more experience for a whole gang than less numerous bands
- there's greater chance I fail loyality test during post battle sequence

*less scavvys
- I save credits for gangers so I can buy mutations and more equipment
- have to test bottle out roll earlier...
- in case of cannibalisation it'll be damn hard to choose which one goes to the pot
- until i get some advances it'll be very hard to achieve hits: bs2 -> I hit on +5 roll

so what do You think? do You have any experience with that? especially scavvy players?
