Post by: Ragnar on 24 March 2012, 10:01:14 PM

The only offering from Wargames Factory that would part me from my hard earned.

I wanted to get some of these for some Greek Myth gaming... what's your overall impression?

Damned fiddly to put together but I think quite good when they are done. 

One of the things I liked about them is that they didn't have clothing or armour so are very easy to paint.

I must admit that I actually do like these a lot. You also painted them very nicely, which certainly helps. How do you like the details on the skulls? It looks a bit like the teeth are not that visible.

I'm actually also wondering a bit about the scale. Do you know how these scale up to old GW plastic (the bob naismith), the newest GW plastics and the ones from mantic.

Good bronze on those shields.

Nice work! Were the weapons and shields from another set?

Thanks all for the comments. :)

@Braxandur; I think overall, the detail is fine, at least for my standards.  The teeth: possibly, I could have washed them a bit more carefully so that they stood out more.  Sorry, I don't have any other skellingtons to compare with.  I will be getting some old GW skelly armour from a mate so that I can pimp out a leader though!

@WuZhuiQiu; no, everything you see in these photos is from the WF set.  So if you wanted some armour you would need to pinch from elsewhere.
