[Archive] Skeleton regiment vote

Grimstonefire:

Which of the races above would you most like to see made into a regiment of skeletons for sale? There may be bits of armour and clothing etc as well.

I had to double up a few things as I could only do 10 options, so please state which one.

Note as well that these are all unmounted models.

Not saying I will get around to this any time soon, but making skeletons I think would be the supreme test for me as a sculptor.

Baggronor:

Undead Pirates.

But none of the above are anything like as cool as Undead Samurai :slight_smile:

GRNDL:

Definitely lizardmen. I have a plan to make a VC army with Lord Kroak as its commander… Hence my experiments into Zombie lizardmen long ago.

What we really need is something along the lines of the DOW Cursed Company which has a little something for everyone - dwarfs, skaven, orcs, elves, etc.



These still go for a hefty sun on eBay.

Zanko:

Undead Dark Elves - cool stuff! :hat off

:hashut

GRNDL:

The problem with the Cursed company is that there’s only 1 pose for each of the different race figures. I had given thought about cutting the lizardman apart, casting the component pieces, such as the skull, etc, and recombining them, or adding the skulls since that is the most recognizably lizardman to different bodies, but thats a lot of work.

wWhy grims !!!

it a had choice to pick one group!!

ummmmmmmm i have to say pirate dwarfs

AGPO:

Personally Id like to see a mix of skeles for all races and nations. THenew ones are harder to convert than the older ones if you want say, an undead empire or bretonian army

Nicodemus:

Sorry… I just don’t get it. I don’t understood the appeal of ‘pirate’ anything, and never have.  Kind of like how I don’t get the appeal of Nickelback. Sure I like the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and love Horatio Hornblower (although he isn’t a pirate), but this is an honest question as apparently I’m missing something – Why pirates?  Is it just because it’s what we’re supposed to like as geeks and because that’s what everyone else always says would be cool?  Is it an in-joke that I’ve been left out of all these years??

GRNDL:

Because pirates are often cursed for their crimes, so are more likely to show up as cursed undead things.

Also note, no ninjas in the list.

Swissdictator:

If I ever did another Undead other army it’d be Undead Dark Elves. Just the cool possibilities with imagery, and painting. Painting bright blues (as I’d rather use purple as more of a color for the trim) and then making them look decayed… could be cool and make the undead more “lively”.

Plus with the armor/shields that go with Dark Elves, it could look very cool.

I’ve done Undead Empire, and Undead Chaos. I had nice conversions for both, just not a good paint job.

AGPO:

Well for me pirates are purely a religious thing. Pastafarians regard Pirates as a holy people and blessed by our creator the FSM. Pirate regalia and talking likea pirate is an important part of our religious practice and missionary work, spreading the word of His Noodly Appendage (RAmen)
