Anyone make plain skeletons for battlefield debris?

I've used GW skellies in the past. The plastic ones can be easily converted.

Depends on the scale you are looking for, but for $25 USD, you can get a 100 plastic skeletons from Hunson on Amazon (or a smaller set of 20 for $10 USD) that could be converted to battlefield debris with a pair of clippers. Listing doesn't give a scale, but says they're 2 inches tall.

Thanks !

2 inches will be to large for 28mm, about 50mm tall.

Search Etsy and Shapeways for them?

The plastic skeletons from Warlord Games (used to be made by Wargames Factory) are very small/slender 28mm scale. I'm on the fence about using them for wargaming figures (very small contact areas for gluing) but am more than wiling to use them to decorate terrain.

You could try buying a single sprue to sample.

I used one of the Wargames Factory lower body skeleton on a manic undead upper body to represent a half mutilated corpse with intestines falling out. I think it turned out rather well. It was my first attempt.

Lazyworker, I did a box of WF skellies, they were a bit tedious but look OK .
