Hi All
Recently I stumbled upon some great 15mm skeleton figures and thought I had bookmarked them on Delicious (but for some reason it didn't work). I can't for the life of me find the site again.
These were not Magister Militum, Vexilia (old Grenadier Skeletons), Splintered Light, Demonworld (don't know of anybody selling these now anyway), Irregular, Essex, Warrior or any of the usual suspects. These were a new range that I'd never seen before and I've been collecting 15mm fantasy figures since 2003.

Do any of you know what I might have seen? Perhaps I dreamt it? :-)

Your help would be much appreciated as I've tried to google the 15mm skeletons, 15mm Fantasy figures, etc and can't find them.

David.

Khurasan has a relatively new pack of "wights" that are skeletons in all but name:

Not many poses, but if anything they look even better in person.

David Gordon24 Jul 2010 2:29 p.m. PST

Thanks but it wasn't Khurasan either – but I do want to buy the wights for my Vampire Counts 15mm army. :-) Thanks for reminding me about them.

Chariot maybe?

David Gordon24 Jul 2010 2:39 p.m. PST

Nope – not Chariot – Magister Militum sell them. Thanks anyway.

Reaper? Reaper used to make some really excellent 15mm skeletons.

David Gordon24 Jul 2010 2:43 p.m. PST

They weren't the Blood Dawn (old Reaper range) or Black Raven Foundry in case you think of them as well. :-) This is a completely new range that's been produced recently.

David Gordon24 Jul 2010 2:45 p.m. PST

And neither were they 15mm.co.uk (Alternative Armies). They've been around for years.

CPBelt24 Jul 2010 4:11 p.m. PST

Grenadier? They've been re-released recently.

What kind of look did they have? Any particular details about the range. I can't think of any new stuff out there not already mentioned. Erm perhaps?

Landorl24 Jul 2010 7:30 p.m. PST

I hate to state one of the obvious ones, but I didn't see their name mentioned…

Were they Splintered Light Miniatures? link
There's also Mighty Armies link

There's also AD&D Battlesystem minis, though they are long out of production.

OP mentioned Splintered Light, and said they were a new(er) range so the AD&D figs are probably out.

CPBelt24 Jul 2010 8:54 p.m. PST

Do we get a prize if we guess correctly? Can I use a Life Line? ;-)

David Gordon24 Jul 2010 10:44 p.m. PST

Nope – did mention Old Grenadier and Splintered Light. :-)
I'm beginning to doubt my memory now if none of you guys know it.
Not old Battlesystem either.
As for a prize. Prize would be the knowledge that you know something most didn't :-)
My search continues.

A little description of the figures (like: Hobbit skeleton charging in its rat-driven wheelbarrow) could help.
I noticed some new skeleton miniatures in the 15mm.co.uk range (the Undead Command pack: link

I have an army of 15mm skeletons and I always try to find something new to add to it so me too I'm interested in this find of yours.

Ciao

When I find them I will definitely let you know. I don't remember much of the figures – I just remember that they had a chariot and cavalry. I had to move on quickly because of other concerns that's why I tried to bookmark it with Delicious.

David Gordon25 Jul 2010 9:10 a.m. PST

Ok – after much searching I'm now beginning to believe that I must have seen the latest additions to David's Splinted Light Minis range – the cavalry and infantry. Don't know why I thought there was a chariot. I need more sleep. I'll keep on looking but for now I'm now pretty certain it's SLM. Sorry to bother you all. Thanks for helping to jog my memory.

doc mcb25 Jul 2010 10:19 a.m. PST

There are Splintered Light skeleton chariots, older than the new additions.

David Gordon25 Jul 2010 2:05 p.m. PST

Yeah – my memory is shot. :-) A woody brain – comes from hanging around in glades with dryads.
