Have you heard of our lord and saviour The Emperor?

How heavy are skeletons? Having never hoisted a partial human skeleton (plus hat) on a stick, I'm not sure how heavy it would be. Lighter than a less cleaned body, surely, but beyond that, no idea. How heavy are bones?

[Ramell]

They sure are showing off a lot of priesty types lately.

Skeleton's only about 14% of total body weight. 

[DemonGSides]

A full human skeleton is like 10 kilos/22 lbs, so that's like 1/3rd of a skeleton so not too terrible.  That being said, it needs some counterweight on the bottom.

[N1SB]

So many kitbashing possibilities it is crazy.  That head could go on some Marine Chaplain or something.  The body could actually be on some feudal world Techpriest what with the arm and leg braces and the iron clogs.  Oh my cog Forgeworld stuff is so good.

 

Edit - A Thought: you add a brim to that headdress with some green stuff, you got some crazy Commissar.

 

Further Edit - this guy is literally "My Helmet Is a Church," which is an apt description of Warhammer.

I never knew that.  Thanks for this.  Calcium's a metal, ergo, we're all kinda bionic. Inside all of us is a Techpriest trying to get out.

This! 
Once you get rid of all the squishy stuff, it’s certainly do-able… Actually, I’d worry  more about the brazier and whatever fuels it…

Absolutely incredible hat

[The Yak]

I've always found, when waving human skeletons around on a pole, that it's the arms and legs swinging about all over the place that make it difficult to ballance. This guy seems to have dealt with this brilliantly. It's always the very simple solutions in the end! 

 

Love both the hats! Good stuff

It s always uncomfortable when the specialist studio has a better grasp of 40k grimdark imagery than the main studio.

 

This one is just much more 40k than Saturdays' ecclesiarchy bland models.

Nothing is heavier than his faith in The Emperor.

RED REDEMPTION IN HIS NAME!

[phandaal]

This is great! Would like to see this guy painted up with Army Painter's new John Blanche line.

[Xirix]

Never thought I'd see someone doing essentially the Jiraiya pose from Naruto in a GW mini. But okay.

All it takes is a bit of practice.. especially when doing it with different shape skeletons and different situations.
Try taking one along for groceries or for the morning run, exercise exercise.

You can get there!

A good drill and some wire go a long way here, as every one who’s ever done some kitbashing can easily attest

Though they seem to have missed the part about  Redemptionists all wearing some sort of mask..

..or was that dropped in the current edition?

Surprisingly light.

As an archaeologist I once had about 80 bodies (complete skeletons) pass through my hands in a couple of days. Especially when dehydrated it all is very light.

Als this is also just the torso, the long legs and arm bones are missing it shouldn't weigh that much, compared to a 40K blowtorch/weird melee weapons/fill in your fantasy.

 

And I absolutely love how he skeleton kinda looks to be looking cross eyed through the mask.

 

I love this model, Absolutely top 40K

 

Might need it for my boys in black.

The always have a soft spot for skelly waving lunaticks

This guy reminds me of vermin supreme. Just need to convert the hat to a wellington boot

So, every day ending in 'y'.

[Borbarad]

Another banger for Nekromunda. That designer keeps cooking. 

[Captain Idaho]

You know, I've couldn't put my finger on it at first but I think I know who he reminds me of... it's Vaughn from Borderlands 3 right?

 

The bare legs like Vaughn running around in his pants, the face seemingly happy to be there and the left hand a little erratically unsure where it's supposed to be.

Freaking thank you! I was wondering why my brain was replacing the models hat with a boot

Don’t worry, the flames on the top make the whole thing a little lighter!

 

I’ll get my coat.

[Redcomet]

It is a fantastic mini. Necromunda just brings out one stellar sculpt after another

[Progenitor]

Is this the first time we've seen what looks like Power Sandals for 40k? 

[N1SB]

Guys...I'm now wondering if those braces on his arms and legs are some sort of mechanical exoskeleton, precisely to carry his giant standard around.
