regarding the head swaps, I am not saying it can't be done, but due to the scale difference you might not be pleased with the result, about the only bit that I have found that works with these battlemasters, is the armored sword and armored left arm from the militia kit, although the heads of the first plastic state troops might do since they were a tad bit smaller than the current troops. What I would suggest you trying, is feather/plume swaps, it will make a difference when you mass the troops together, the plumes are quite visible, as opposed to changing the body as in a head swap. You cant change the pose very much and the feathers stick up there for all to see. Just a suggestion, I am sure that whatever you do will turn out just fine. steveb
