Walking Bones with Spears

 What's an undead army without skeletons? * Well, here are my first batch of 15 skeleton warriors ready to spear your fodder.

Primed.

After priming these guys with the appropriately named Wraithbone spray paint I next painted all of the bone areas using Skeleton Horde Contrast Paint.

Next, I decided (pretty much on a random whim) to paint all of their spears red. I guess the '90s nostalgia vibe from the box photos was far too potent to resist? After I paint the first one I knew that this was the right choice. 

Red spears for that '90s vibe. 

Then I added layers  to all of the bones using Screaming Skull followed by Wraithbone.

Touched up.

I decided I wanted to give these guys glowing eyes in the same color as the spirit hosts that I painted recently. I figured that the color would help tie the units together a bit more.  But when I got down to it, I really liked them the way they were. So I compromised and added a subtle glow around the bottom or the edge of their empty eye-sockets. Some of their eyes have a rotten eyeball in them and these I painted with the Briar Queen Chill paint as well.

After I added the grass tufts to some of these models I felt they could use a subtle highlight of White Scar.

And with that it's a wrap. Oh, and I want to mention the model in this next pic, the one in the foreground to the left: 

Beastman skull headed guy to the left. 

His head is from the Skulls boxed set. There is a variety of beastman skulls in that set and I decided to stick on one of these skeletons after getting frustrated with attaching the horns to the beastman skull that comes with this set. I think it worked out good in the end. 

*Lame! The answer is LAME!!!
