Recent Purchase - KT-009 Skeleton Warrior Iron Rust Edition

In the mail, all the way from the land of atomic breathing lizards and giant flying reptiles, the Skeleton Warrior (Iron Rust Edition).


Again, not a miniature per se, but a display model that the Japanese love so much. At about 150mm tall, however, he's a great addition to my undead Sengoku Period army as a Gashadokuro - a skeletal giant from Japanese mythology. With some creative basing work, he should be looking like he could take on Godzilla himself!








Recent Purchase - Boss Fight Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S.

Just recently purchased two figures from the Boss Fight Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. line. One Skeleton Warrior and one combination set of a standard Skeleton and Aged Steel Accessory Pack B.



These aren't miniatures per se, but rather a line of highly customizable action figures. But at just under 100mm tall, with a little painting, they will make excellent giant hoplites to fight in my undead Classical Greek army. My skeletal titan from Ral Partha needed some company and I stumbled across these while doing a google image search for undead hoplites. (I always like to browse google images to see when something new pops up). So now I have two units of giants - one of giant Cyclopes and one of human hoplites. More flexibility!



These figures are highly customizable and I love the armour available, especially the Athenian helm with the transverse crest. It will look excellent painted in bronze and washed to achieve the verdigris effect.
