My skeleton units are made up of a combination of all metal models (with plastic shields added):

Very old plastic models:

Slightly newer plastic models:

Some of which are randomly metal:

Together with a few random Tomb King parts:

It's made me feel very old seding this but also it's very cool to see how well all of the various releases of skeleton models still sit so well together.

However I am missing the current skeleton models so will have to add them soon!

I love the art with skeletons with hair - makes no sense whatsoever then makes you wonder whether they're wearing a wig, which makes you wonder whether they retain their vanity and if there is a skeleton dressing room somewhere with a bunch of skeleton makeup artists and costume designers.

Maybe I'm overthinking this.

I'll stop lurking for a bit and throw a few more into the mix.

The first two I painted about 20 years ago and the other three over 25 years ago (in High School!). God I'm old :-)

The second group I called "The Revelers", and the standard is a converted from the lance of the Skeleton Horsemen from the Skeleton Army Box.

On the one hand, the amount of metal in this thread is so brutal I was headbanging as I scrolled down it. On the other hand, well, old sculpts are so doofy most of the time, haha. I think it's my youthful lack of nostalgia for this era that blinds me to the truth of these models' majesty. :P
