csblackhawk Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hey guys, I've been looking around on lots of forums (B&C, Warseer & ToS) and noticed that in a lot of the WIP threads people use what looks to be resin skulls in order to increase the appearance of Khornate models or to make skull bases. I've searched for these skulls online only to find places that sell them in the US. So I was wondering where to get those kind of skulls in the UK? Do you have to sculpt them yourself or does a bloodthirster give them only to the worthy? Cheers for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardwc Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 You can find some skull bases here : http://www.shop.microartstudio.com/skulls-c-3_34.html On ebay, there must be other manufacturers for these things too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmonkey0 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I bought some microart ones from ebay (the small 20x20mm bases) and use instant mold and green stuff to make copies. Once you've made a mold you can dump some green stuff on a plain base then squish it with the mold and everyones a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csblackhawk Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Sorry guys, thanks for the responses so far but I think you misunderstanding what I was asking for. I ‘m not looking for skull bases, I’m looking for individual 40k scale skulls to add to bases, chains etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisisJimmy Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 You can get a sack of skulls from Secret Weapon. They're metal though, so I'm not sure if that's exactly what you were looking for. Secret Weapon Skulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csblackhawk Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Cheers guys! That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for but I couldn’t find any on the British EBay site, but with France just over the water that’s close enough If anyone knows of any places in the UK still please let me know Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I ordered my skulls from that guy posted above. They arrived pretty quickly. I did order them from the UK ebay but Im sure therewouldnt be any problem ordering from the french ebay. They are great for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClockworkZombie Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Try Black Cat Bases. http://blackcatbases.com/ I have purchased some nice skulls from them. Edit spelling mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Good Lord those eBay skulls are cheap. Must place an order now! :( I also have a pack of those Black Cat Bases skulls. Not bad, but cleaning the flash and mould lines off tiny metal skulls isn't easy. I'll be interested to see how these resin bases fare. Cheers guys! That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for but I couldn’t find any on the British EBay site, but with France just over the water that’s close enough If anyone knows of any places in the UK still please let me know Thanks Just change the .fr in the URL to .co.uk and it will change the eBay store to the UK version. Worked fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Excuse the double post, but my eBay skulls arrived in the mail yesterday (I ordered 200 of the things - I don't think I'll be needing to buy skulls any time soon). The quality seems rather good, with clear, crisp details, and I haven't noticed any bubbles yet. They're slightly smaller than GW's metal skulls set, but I don't think it'd be noticeable under a coat of paint - just be aware that GW's metal skulls are significantly smaller than their plastic ones (which are way oversized), so having them side-by-side would be a bit jarring. Otherwise, it's top stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Mine arrived today as well and Im in the same boat as Cheexsta, these shall last a while. I like the fact that the heads are smaller it gives a more natural scale against the giant marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
