I speak under correction, but I believe Eureka have white metal ones in 28mm, just plain skellies with no trimmings.

You could also get some GW plastic ones and use only the weaponless/armourless bits.

Jeff Valent Studios have some unarmed skellies sold as sculpting armatures, both in 28mm and 54mm. Should be just the thing:

The Eureka ones are lovely and quite bendable. I wonder if they still use lead in their mix.

Or trim off the weapons - VERY easy with plastics. I'm going to use some of those for several different settings, just adding some weaponry and maybe a little sculpted clothing/headgear to make them fit in  :)

I am sure you end up with a few boxes of the new vampire counts skeletons...I have a tough time resisting any gothic horror themed miniatures. I was hoping they would redo those chunky, goofy zombies though!

I absolutely agree with you on this one Todd :)
