Just had a cogitate on Skellies...

You need material for a chariot, you've got bones, sod it - sentient bone chariot.

That's the whole idea behind the age of sigmar bonereapers - they take a bone tax from their territories and then use necromancy to fuse the bones into new constructs.

  "Honey, don't forget to put the bins out! It's bone collection day tomorrow."

I know someone who struggles with that concept 

Ha, yes I also struggled with the undead trumpeter concept for a long time! It was the Grenadier undead war mammoth, one of the riders was blowing a horn and it just ruined the whole mini for me.

Then someone (might have been on this forum, actually) politely asked why my suspension of disbelief was being shattered by that, as opposed to all the silly metaphysics involved in the very idea of necromancy, and I got over it. Now I quite like skeleton trumpeters. I like the idea of them mindlessly trying to do what they did when they were alive.

There's a great diorama in warhammer world of a bonereaper fortress at tax time, with a line of mortals of all varieties queuing up to pay their tithe, all of them with sacks and bags of bones. The fluff gets a bit grizzly as to what happens when a town can't afford the ever increasing tax, But the visuals of some poor bloke in a world of magic having to fish through the compost for last nights chicken leg before making a joyless slog down to the tax office o submit this years returns is great.
