MrKittens Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hello all, I have a slightly odd question for everyone: Where can I buy some cavorting Human skeletons? I have decided recently to model together two large bases, and assemble my version of Sonnia's fire wall; that way, whenever she creates one, I'll have a cool model to put on the board, instead of just a couple of blank 50mm bases. Keeping with her theme of burning skeletons, I've started looking at various minis lines for completely bare-bones (haHA!) skeletons, unarmed or armored, preferably dancing or cavorting about, as one would be likely to do if one were on, say, fire. I've had very minimal luck. Either the skeletons I've found were adorned in some fashion, completely static, or both. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm looking for about 5-ish, and will of course post pictures if asked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Check out the night spectre by reaper minis. You can get it in metal or green transparent acrylic for cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I would look for the old GW Fantast plastics. They were basically just skeletons. You might have to cut off a weapon in one hand, but should other wise be bare skeletons. I saw a box still at $10 on eBay if you go search there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingBut Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Saw this linked in a neverborn thread and figured it might be of interest for you. Two of these one each In the middle of a 50mm base painted up to look like fire would be pretty awesome. http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/wraith/sku-down/14547#detail/14547_g_2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uruk Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 To me these are just perfect! O.o I think I'll steal that idea too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Monkey Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Wow those do look good. Just bought a couple from http://www.snmstuff.co.uk/reaper-bones-night-spectre/, though as they're now showing as out-of-stock I might have got the last that they had! Oops sorry. Anyway, they're certainly available in UK at reasonable price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Do you know if that place ships to Ireland? It'd be nice to be able to get some reaper stuff without being shafted by import duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKittens Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 The Night Spectre is certainly the direction I was looking, but I'd been hoping to put my greenstuffing skills to the test; while I'm glad folks're finding the idea helpful, I don't suppose anyone knows of a line that does characterful, unadorned skeletons? The WHF box I found on Ebay had mostly line infantry, standing facing forward like troops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Games Workshop Skeletons from their Tomb Kings range can be assembled completely without addornment. I should know I've got over 100 of the little buggers. There are a few parts on their sprues (Chests, arms, heads etc) that have no armour and it wouldn't be difficult to pick the parts required and pose them in a dancing kind of way. The Vampire Counts Skeletons might also be worth looking into.

MrKittens Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Fantastic, thanks! I've played Guild-like factions my whole life, so I never had any experience with the deader end of the spectrum. I'll look these guys up today!
