Hi I'm looking for some cheap skeletons which I preferably don't have to assemble (yes, lazy!) and have found these from Warrior Miniatures: link These fit my criteria of being one piece castings and also nicely priced. Has anyone got any of these, preferably painted up? Their fantasy range is a mixed bag, but some, like the Citadel Guard on foot are decent figures for the price. Cheers

Heh. Took me a while to understand what you meant and then I reread my post and realised it sounded like a 'wanted' ad! To rephrase things, what it meant was: "So, Warrior Miniatures skeletons. Anyone use them and do they paint up well?" Thanks

No experience with those, but check out the Reaper Bones skellies. 3 per pack, $5 USD a pack.
And supposedly, Bones plastic doesn't need to be primed. |

Check out Mantic games. Really nice skellies with minimal assembly. Those figures in your link look like poor 15mm from the 80's. |

Thanks for that. They look interesting. And I can definitely see some gaps in my collection being plugged by other figures in the range. |

Jez: that's a fair point. To be honest even the GW small boxes of 5 skeletons work out at £1.20 GBP per figure, so if I even just compare them is it worth saving 20p each time and ending up with figures I'm not sure about?! |

You can get GW skeletons assembled and painted very cheaply on ebay. |

Thanks, Mark. After all my looking for alternatives, I might just do that then! |

Ah, Mr Wrigglesworth! It was your painted Citadel Guard foot soldiers that made me want some for my Empire army. And I think you've just done the same with the knights. I don't knew if they had a different sculptor, but for me they stand out from the orcs etc. Looking forward to see your skeletons! |
