Fimm's painted models

also one problem with display pieces too much is the edges.. depends on the sword type, alot didn't have that sharp if at all sharp, blades. Taking something like a Broad sword, you swung with a weight that did the cutting. Compared to a Katana or Tachi (which was what evolved into the Katana around the Kamakura Period) which have 1 shape edge and less weight, more for slashing then hacking.
 
Back with some more skeletons ahead of a game for BOYL.

More (as always) on the blog.
 
Very nice. I like the addition of the brighter colours. Bases are also very good.

EDIT - just read the rest of the story over on your blog, what a lovely tail. Top marks to that generous donor!

Very nice! How many more are required to make up the units?
I have some unpainted skelebobs from the Skeleton Horde box set that am sure could give a lick of colour before August?
 
Yes please if you're happy to loan them. I know how fragile they can be! Probably don't need the cavalry, but the infantry would be a great help.
 
Nah, I don't give a stuff about GW lore. They're just the colours the plastic skeletons have in the 3rd ed rulebook photos I am recreating.

There are a LOT of skeletons in those photos, maybe as many as 150! Any extras you can supply would be very welcome!

Hard to tell from the pictures how many are in the units, but am sure you have scrutinised them to death!

I have x18 skeletons with hand weapons and shields, x5 grim reapers, and x5 with spears.

Will see how I get on with other minis for BOYL and quickly slap some paint & base these chaps if I can.

Started prepping the skeletons with hand weapons! So many awkward mould lines that I had failed to remove back in the day… Also forgot how delicate and light they are, will need something to weight the bases!

AHH yes, the 'sneeze and loose a few minis' skellies, I remember them well. I love the mouth open head for some reason. Used it as often as possible.
Hated the spears, just had to look at them and they would snap.
