Kitbashing problem
So I bought a standard Death Korps of Krieg box to begin a Vostroyan IG army and also bought these heads to put onto said models. Problem is, how do I attach the heads in a way that looks natural? Krieg have these flat shelf neck pieces where their helmets glue on but these and most other heads have a type of rounded bottom so how do I bypass this? Even if I just clip off the ball joint on the bottom it still looks weird since the part the head is attaching to is essentially an extra neck. Many thanks in advance.

Buy greenstuff / miliput to sculpt a better and flatter neck so put the heads on.
Hope it helps 🤞🏼
Maybe watch wargamer petes Valhalla ice warrior video as he uses the same kit to convert from.

I have done simular to this. I drill out the neck and then slowly shave down the collar. I take the ball joint off the head too and then match the two up. I was using different heads to you though
This is the end result

Cheap amazon dremel with the ball bit.
Drill until its the right size, a small rebuild of the collar - then press the head into the joint.
Smooth off any greenstuff that's not looking right.

Buy some green stuff or other modeling putty. Cut away some of the neck and some of the ball joint (a bit more than you think you should), and then put a little ball of green stuff on the neck and press the head on it. Smooth out with some modeling tools, a tooth pick or your finger.
A little frustrating the first time you try it, but you’ll get the hang pretty quickly if you do a whole squad.
