Castle Ravenloft Skeletons

[Grand Slam]

I finally got inspired to paint these guys up after BlazingTornado posted one a while back. For what they are, the sculpts have a respectable amount of detail (except the teeth...the top row of chompers had to be freehanded on each skeleton due to soft details). 

 

I was originally going to go with a tarnished bronze look on the shields. But, after I muddied them up a little, I fell in love with the look and decided to keep them as-is. I think the rust effect came out pretty well on the sword blades.

 

They won't be superstars in my skeleton army, but they're good middle-of-the-road models.

You've really nailed the Harryhausen sepia tone to those bones - excellent work.

Looks good, I also like that sepia tone.

They look really natural (for walking skeletons...) Great palette

Any comparison to Ray Harryhausen is the highest possible praise. Thanks!

 

And thanks to everyone else. Now I just need to find some Argonauts for them to fight...and a Jason.

Good work on them, especially the dental work!
