Games Workshop Middlehammer Skeleton Kit Bashed Archers

Inspired by Warlords of Erewhon I have revisited my Games Workshop Skeletons. I had a mixture of kits from the original plastics to the more Middlehammer era kits.  Interestingly and to be expected I found the Middlehammer components to have more pronounced mold lines.

This aside, I used a variety of the components to create these archers.  I really like how they turned out.  These are fantastic figures and I love the look of them.  Old school Games Workshop beats their new stuff hands down!

These will be used in a variety of Games systems.

Games Workshop Skeleton Regiment - Old School Skeletons

I am quite critical of Games Workshop, especially with Age of Sigmar... but more of this later.

A very good friend of mine parted with some of his Old School Games Workshop Skeletons and handed them on to me as they were unlikely to ever see paint.  I am a big fan of these older looking skeletons by Games Workshop.  They are big, chunky, full of character and easy to paint.  Awesome!

I just finished painting up the first 20.  I have another regiment of these chaps that I will model up differently.  The way I painted them is as follows:

Prime Black
Airbrush AK701 Grau
Drybrush Ivory
Drybrush White
Army Painter Quick Shade Strong Tone
Pick out details.

Pretty simple and very effective.
