From SylvainR: D&D - 28mm Skeletons (70 points)

Another bunch of figurines for my D&D campaigns, this time, a detachment of skeletons, a classic addition to any fantasy collection. These vinyl miniatures are from Reaper and originate from the generous JeremyM donation.

First, here are 6 skeleton spearmen. I simply followed the classic "Egyptian" style, inspired by Games Workshop's Tomb Kings.

Then 4 skeleton warriors. I used 3 different colors for basecoat, hoping to get some variety in bone colors, but the wash and the dry brush just made them all uniform. I also profusely added rust on the weapons and the shields and made the wooden parts of the weapons gray instead of brown, to simulate old desiccated wood.

The last 4 skeletons include 3 archers and an officer. I made the whole bunch look as rusty and dry as possible.

Points claimed:

14 x 28mm foot figurines at 5 points each = 70 points

Total = 70 points 

Thanks for reading!

"Dem bones" indeed Sylvain! These guys look great and skeletons of course are a requisite part of any lower-level D&D campaign. I like the Egyptian look of these models, the more dessicated the better!.

70 points for you!

  1. Great work on these skeletons Sylvain! "Dessicated" just means "experienced", right?
