irwit Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hi all I'm looking at doing some conversions and basing. Anyway what is more 40k than a skull? You used to be able to buy a box of skeleton warriors and have a bucket load of skulls, however with the new vampire counts skeletons you no longer have a GW source of lots of bare skulls. So I am hoping that the kind people of BnC will be able to point me to various sources for some skulls :) Any help much appreciated.

deathspectersgt7 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Secret Weapon Miniatures, they make bases and such they have a bag of resin skulls.

m_r_parker Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Surprisingly, GW do packs of skulls which are ideal for basing - I picked up a couple of packs myself as I wanted Ork skulls for some Deathwatch Sternguard and they had some in. Linky - http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1630115a In terms of the pack contents, you get one larger skull base (25mm round), and two of everything else shown. I'm sure there are some other third party manufacturers who do them cheaper, but there are always these just in case.

irwit Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Cheers both.

Veteran Sergeant Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I like the variety in shapes of skulls from the GW set, but good lord, $13 for that? Classic GW.

Leonaides Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Find someone with a load of old gw skeletons? Hobby shop who carry 2nd hand models? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282832-where-to-find-skulls/#findComment-3513185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annatar Giftbringer Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 The tomb kings skeletons are still the old variant. They didn't get updated with the vampires.

irwit Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Oh yeah I didn't notice. Well looks like a few are still the old kind and some are new. The original kit had no hats or anything. Maybe I'll try eBay for some left overs. Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282832-where-to-find-skulls/#findComment-3513250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annatar Giftbringer Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 The skeletons are still the same sprues but there are some additional "tomb king-y" sprues in the box too. I'm not sure if they are the 'original' skeleton kits, but there are a few more European-looking helmets in the kit too.

Corsair Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Some of the Dark Eldar kits come with skulls hanging from chains and things that are pretty useful. Bits sites would be your friend there I imagine. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282832-where-to-find-skulls/#findComment-3513469 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Foes Remain Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Graveyards. Be quick, though. People geneally frown on that. No Heathens. You take them from your opponents' dead models, or you opponent after you beat him and kill him for his incompetance. I think I've been reading the Night Lords series too much, or not enough....

Firepower Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Or you can try and steal them from under Khorne's throne. It's sort of like Extreme Jenga. Really, really Extreme Jenga.

Somehow I don't think he'd like that... But if you ask nicely he might let you borrow a few, I mean does he really need all those skulls?

Durus Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Cheers both. Those GW ones don't look too great but the secret weapon minis look awesome so I've ordered myself a sack o skulls Any other sources people know of ? tabletop-art.de is worth pointing out too. They do several sets in different scales. They even have one set with skulls that are "similar™" to bloodletter, skaven, ork, lizardmen, gor and ungor skulls.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I was going to answer either - "Inside the heads of your enemies!" or "Secret Weapon Miniatures".
