Those are nice. I'll have to get some of those. The WF ones are good but are very fragile, probably because they are actually to scale.

The world needs these, especially if they are on the plainer side like the one pictured.

Roderick Robertson Fezian14 Apr 2014 2:06 p.m. PST

Need more skullz.

Onemanworkshop14 Apr 2014 2:08 p.m. PST

Very nice! Always room for more skeletons, and I second the WF are too fragile, so get mashed up and used for floor debris…

I'm loving this transition to plastics, makes conversions fun, lighter armies to carry, and more drop proof.

Smokey Roan14 Apr 2014 2:15 p.m. PST

Very cool

Agreed the WF ones are nice but fragile , not good for gaming . these look really nice . Plain skeletons and users put on what they want

OldGrenadier Fezian14 Apr 2014 2:36 p.m. PST

Roderick, I believe that one skull each is enough :)

I like that it doesn't have the silly 'evil face' that a lot of skeleton minis have… and that it's not covered in bling, that leaves it more versatile and useful.

Very Harryhausen!

Like them but I'm not keen on the rib cage. I also like the WF ones, and I do use them for gaming without mishap.

Mardaddy14 Apr 2014 5:45 p.m. PST

I've got about 70 of the WF ones, assembled, based, painted up, flocked, all with no weapons whatsoever.

I use them as RPG fodder, and have never had an issue with breakage. Maybe just lucky? Or with lack of weapon/shield that takes away another possible weak area to break?

Bought them in piece lots off eBay, I think I paid about $.40 USD per figure all told.

It is a WIP, as stated on the shield. This might well be the first Kickstarter I invest in.

Very Harryhausen!

That's what I was thinking. Jason … mount up!

I like the look of them! Very clean, not overly cluttered like the skellies from GW or WF. MiniMo said it best -- very Harryhausen!

Happy you enjoyed it boys!. (smile).

Very very nice, they look sturdy and with enough meat on them (Pun intended ;) to be converted with weapon and kit swaps (I like the mitts of figures large enough to drill out for my own weapon swaps, spears and the like get changed to wire where I can , these look nice and big knuckled plain old fashion skelingtons are perfect with lots of conversion potential.
Hope these are affordable as although we all look for skellys as cheap fodder we all hate having to pay lots for them :) on the other hand all fantasy gamers worth their salt should have some bone chatterers too ( its a fantasy wargamer thing isn't it? :_)
When do you want to start the KS by the way? Lot of luck and cheers

Dr Mathias Fezian15 Apr 2014 10:41 p.m. PST

Wow, very nice.

Really nice classic skeletons, with the uncluttered Harryhausen look as many have mentioned above.

Muerto24 Apr 2014 8:30 p.m. PST

Sadly, caveat emptor.

thanks for the warning, Muerto!
