This large horde of 40 skeletons is almost entirely composed of Wargames Factory Skeletons and is one of the larger units for my Undead Army. The unit is magnetized with 1/8″ x 1/32″ magnets under the bases, these are hollowed out underneath. The movement tray is basswood with a piece of tin cut and glued to the top.
There is some minor conversions done on two of the figures. I built a standard bearer out of an old Games Workshop Beastment standard. I trimmed some of the obvious horns off and replaced them with a left over Wargames Factory skull from the kit. The staff it sits on is from the Mantic Skeleton kit, I believe. Also, Wargames Factory doesnt have anything to build a musician out of so I used one fo the bells from the Mantic Skeleton kit. The decal on the standard is from the Games Workshop Bretonnian Knights of the Realm transfer sheet.
For the basing I painted the bases with Vallejo Model Color Burnt Umber as the base color. Then I applied 2.5mm Summer Mead. Green Grass, from Noch, to the remaining uncovered portions of the base. Finally I added a little bit of SuperLeaf Leaf Litter ECO (SE6623) from Scenic Express.
