WIP - Skeleton Snake Men

Doing some work on these wonderful skeleton snake men sculpted by Tim Prow from Die Hard Miniatures. They produce four separate snake men, which will eventually appear in my undead lizard man contingent, but because I can't stay away from my armies of antiquity - I got a few extra to convert into figures for my undead Classical Greek army, starting with an undead Cecrops I.

Here are the individual figs out of the pack:




After zenithal priming:






Basecoated in Thar Brown and Decayed Metal by Scale Colour:





Bone parts washed with GW's Agrax Earthshade:





Verdigris effect created using GW's Nihilakh Oxide technical paint. I love that stuff!







And here is the progression of Cecrops I. Cecrops was the mythical first king of Athens who is portrayed as half man and half snake. This is a simple head swap using the helmed skull from the (recently defunct) Spartan Games Heroes of Myth & Legend Skeletons. It was fortuitous that I had some extra blisters of these skeletons, because the snake men are ogre sized and a 28mm skull is too small, while a 54mm skull is too big. The Spartan Games minis were in an unusual 40mm size - which actually made a perfect match with the snake men!

  1. Die Hard Miniatures/Tim Prow are getting all my money lately. Lovely looking snake skellies, and the conversion looks very natural.
