Old school plastic skeleton/empire project-painted
« on: 19 January 2018, 11:08:13 AM »
This is a project started many years ago, probably the best travelled unfinished army ever?
These were bought in Lincolnshire, started in Norfolk(about 1999/2000) moved to Scotland(2002) sent to France(2007) returned from France (2017)  and repaired/glued (2018)
2nd edition plastic skeletons and 1st edition plastic empire(?)
Also some putty/sculpting to try and bring together the empireish feel.
Also made a unit of skeleton cavalry using armoured plastic horses and skeletons

Ran out of Empire bits and could use some more skeleton bits if anyone has any spare?

Lots of metals to follow as well as 1st edition skeletons to repair/paint

Oh this takes me back.

I did an army like this back in the day when the Empire plastics were brand new. I sold it off years ago. Now I kind of wish I hadn't..

Most excellent!  :o

I will be shamelessly copying your conversion ideas for my own skeleton force as I have plenty of Empire bits and Undead bits as well.

Painted one unit.
Still need some shileds ( sculpting those to fit in with 'decayed' look)
Standard needs added
Base edges need painting ( probably black)
