Took me a little longer than intended to get these first eight finished, but pretty happy with how they've turned out

They’ve turned out very well. The restricted colour palette really suits them :)
-
I like them. Great bone colouring, more yellow than white :)
-
Really nice results!
-
Thank you all - it's mainly Contrast Paints doing the heavy lifting!
-
I know what you mean! I painted some skeletons with contrast recently and it was so quick I was nearly tempted to do an entire army of them. lol
-
I think it probably took me longer to base them than paint them :)
And it certainly took less time to paint than assemble them
-
Well that basing is very cool. I've also been tempted to do a whole army of skeletons with my contrasts too.
-
They are SPLENDID looking Deadites AND seemingly of a merry nature. Your brushwork, color choices, & basing are OUTSTANDING. VERY WELL DONE!
-
Woah nice 💻👍
-
Lovely! I do like those Oathmark Bronze Age skellies and you’ve got a great colour on them. Is the banner pole going to get a banner, or has it rotted away in the barrow?
-
I do like these Skeleton miniatures and you've done a lovely job in painting. Bravo.
-
Interesting that you manage to get through them so quickly with contrast paints
-
I finished off another eight.
This time with swords and shield

Six more, this time with bows, and the last of the metal command

Looking good mate!
-
By the looks of these, I'm sold.
But, how do they compare in size to other ranges?
-
They are smaller than the "original" GW skeletons.
I'm sure I saw some comparison pics with both the WA and the Warlord skeletons on this site not long ago, but I can't find it now.
I think the Oathmark ones were on the whole smaller than all those too.
-
Just taken a quick picture
Warlord, Old GW Skeleton Army, Oathmark
The Warlord ones are possibly the better sculpted but the Oathmark ones are much easier to build.
-
The Warlord ones are also actually the original Wargames Factory ones - just the kits that Warlord bought and doubled the price on when Wargames Factory quit selling their own kits.
Nice work on the skeletons.

The Warlord/WF ones are lovely but those feet..
Those ******* feet!

(looks at his small stack of unbuilt WF skeletons) I don't know what you're talking about... lol
I made it through maybe 7-8 before giving up on them.
-
Sizewise they don't look that much smaller, specially when observed at tabletop situations. Easier building is a plus, and I like those skulls more than the evil frowny Harryhausen-style of the ex-WGF skellies.

Undead are better off partly buried. No feet to wrestle with if they're still up to their knees or waists in the dirt. Heck, go to extremes and all you need to do is paint some grasping arms and the odd weapon poking out of the sod. At least half the zombies and skeletons I've done over the years have been converted so they were crawling out of the ground rather than casually strolling around. :)
-
They rock, mayne! Picked up a box for my TSATF Colonial Mummy game plan. Love em.
-
These look fantastic! What’s the painting formula you’re using for the bone and metal?

Thank you.
The bone is all Contrast paint over a white primer.
The metal is the old GW Dwarf Bronze covered in a wash that's a mix of browns and green.
I did buy the new GW bronze and the verdigris technical paint but I didn't like the result so went back to sploshing some brown and green washes together.
-
the metal command figures are very good.
-
Such a fantastic colour scheme!

Skellies look great. :)
Are you diluting the contrast with the GW medium or using it straight from the pot?
