Draconis does….. The Silver Bayonet
Skeletons
14th July 2025
A couple of the Egypt scenarios require Skeletons as one of the enemy types. So, off to my old minis…. After a while I found a bag of loose plastic skeletons from circa 1989. I believe they had been in the bag for at least 16 years (when I last moved house), but potentially longer – so for them to have survived as well as they did was quite a surprise.
After some minor repairs I managed to get together a dozen of the bone boys for painting up.
They had the usual black then white overspray as prime, and then were treated to an all over covering of Contrast Skeleton Horde (seemed appropriate).
They then all had a drybrush with Vallejo ivory. The bases were painted with my Foundry Base Sand triad, starting with the darkest then stippling on the subsequent lighter colours.
Next up the wooden parts of the wargear were painted brown and the metal parts painted with Vallejo Bronze. These were all given a nuln oil wash. The shield fronts were picked out with turquoise.
The final stages were to add the Verdigris to the weapons using thinned Speedpaint Pastel Seafoam and then a basic tidy up.
Just a relatively quick paint job for these, but they fill their role 😊
I don’t know how to put into words why these make me giggle with joy but they do! Something so classic about them
😀 I do have more modern skellies, but wanted to use these for the same reason – there’s just something about them. I think in part it’s their simplicity tbh.
They are also genuinely nice sculpts, with well proportioned skulls
