Triumph of Death: Renaissance skeleton unit with Darts
« on: March 14, 2017, 03:17:03 AM »
Finished up my first full unit of my Renaissance skeletons, a regiment based for Kings of War. I'm going to point these out as skeleton archers, with the idea that darts of death would be as accurate and ranged as a bow. Accurate for skeletons that is...

Based upon the Triumph of Death painting by Peter Breugel, they represent the darts of doom that seek out all of mankind. I like to think that since it is from a historic reference, these guys also fit in as " late German".

Cheers and thanks for any feedback!

Wally- That's the plan. Starting the KS with a couple of unit choices, with the goal of funding and raising enough to expand into an entire army, including vignettes and more personality types. Already have sketeches for Sweihander, Crossbow (because skellies don't use arquibus- too flammable) and pike.

Cheers

Very impressive. Nice to see something a little bit different for the Undead.

Lovely sculpts - along with Bosch, Bruegel et al. these are great for adding some fantasy floavour to early Renaissance games.
