Out of curiosity, does any one know if the arms on the new GW skeletons match up tolerably well with the previous edition skelies? I acquired a pile of old ones but I am short about twenty left arms! There are quite a few current ed. left arms on eBay for a reasonable price but I would hate to pick 'em up and find they are too short, long, etc.
Thanks
Mike

Are you planning to put shield on them? If so then they should be fine. Note that lots of the newer skele bits have cloth on them unlike their older counter parts.

They're smaller now.

Quite the opposite. The new skeletons, especially the even newer mounted ones, are bigger. New arms on old skeletons will probably look strange.

When old and new are side-by-side the new ones look smaller to me too.

I get it now. These ( link ) are what I meant by new skeletons, which are much bigger than the old ones ( link ). I didn't know about the "new new" ones ( link ).

Well I am using shields so I guess I will be OK. Maybe I will try some Bitz stores. Any place you like?

Duh, made the 'Tomb Kings' connection…got a bunch o' arms on the way.
Thanks everyone!
