I was cruising the toy soldier sites when I came upon these lovable little guys link They look like they would paint up cheap an easy for an army man scale undead army. I added them to my yahoo group for Age of Extraordinary Gentlemen located here: link Shameless plug. I know. Sue me. Anyway, as these stream of consciousness things go, I realized that you'd need some heavy support for your skeleton army, whether facing the French Foreign Legion or the valiant knights and wizards of some D&D world. Well, what better than skeletal dinosaurs? Those you can get here: link At ustoy. Unfortunately, ustoy is one of those annoying sites that always redirects you back to the home page. Do a search for dinosaur skeleton, and you'll see what I mean. Have fun! |

Wow those skeletons look a whole lot like the GW skeletons! It says 54mm, so I guess not, but they sure do look like them. |

My nephew has a set of the skeleton warriors. They are indeed 54mm scale (or something bigger than 28mm anyway.) They are soft plastic, not sure how well they would take paint. |

They paint pretty well. The skeleton dinosaurs are excellent as well as they come painted and varnished, I got my sets of both in Bude at £2.49 GBP for the skellies and 70p each for the dinosaur skeletons, and liked them so much I bought a box of 36… |

I picked these up while in Thailand last year – less that £1.00 GBP for 12 (may have been 20). They were an sale in a Tesco Stores partner, attached to a card backing and clear plastic front. I would say that they are jusr short of 50mm as I was thinking of using them with my 40mm figures. Tony

My brother bought some of these. They came with pirates fo all things! But they aren't 54mm, they are much smaller. 45mm I would guess. |

But they aren't 54mm, they are much smaller. 45mm I would guess. Well, they'd be 54mm with the flesh on.  |

DS6151 "But they aren't 54mm, they are much smaller. 45mm I would guess." Close enough, I'd imagine. In any case, they'd definitely be a horde army, and hordes should never be so pretentious as to be as tall as heroes. |
